1 Bedroom Cottage

Location

Set within the historic village of Ellel, this property enjoys a peaceful setting surrounded by open countryside while remaining highly convenient for day-to-day life. Ellel is located just south of Lancaster University and close to the neighbouring village of Galgate, where there is a good range of local amenities. The village itself is well regarded for its strong community feel and local primary school, while excellent access to the M6 makes it a practical choice for commuters. Open views to both the front and rear further enhance the setting, giving this cottage a real sense of space and tranquillity.

About this Home

Dating back to the 1830s, this attractive stone-built cottage is beautifully presented and has been carefully maintained by the current owner. Inside, the property balances period character with tasteful modern updates, including original internal doors and recently re-plastered walls that create a fresh, smooth finish throughout. The lounge is a particularly inviting space, centred around an inglenook fireplace with an electric stove that provides a lovely focal point. From here, a traditional farmhouse-style cell door with working latch opens into the compact yet thoughtfully designed kitchen, which is fitted with modern appliances. Beyond the kitchen is a useful utility area and rear porch, adding valuable practicality.

Upstairs, the double bedroom extends across the front of the cottage and enjoys open views over the surrounding countryside, making it a bright and peaceful room. The bathroom is fitted with a white three-piece suite and also houses the gas combination boiler.

Outside, the rear courtyard leads up to a lawned garden which backs onto open fields. Mature hedging offers a good degree of privacy, while established plants and shrubs add colour and interest. To the front, the property also enjoys open views across the fields towards the A6. This lovely cottage will appeal to first-time buyers, those looking to downsize, or anyone seeking a character home in a peaceful village location with excellent access to Lancaster and beyond.
