Matterdale, Penrith

Nestled in the picturesque Matterdale within the Lake District National Park, Goosegreen presents a distinctive opportunity for those seeking a renovation project. This property, featuring over 2,000 sq ft of accommodation, boasts an intriguing mix of classic architectural elements and modern construction techniques. The layout includes five spacious bedrooms, multiple reception areas like a living room and snug, as well as potential for further enhancement with three attic rooms waiting to be transformed into additional living spaces. Set on approximately 2.2 acres, the grounds feature a south-facing garden that overlooks beautiful Lakeland scenery, alongside diverse outdoor spaces including a potager garden and a greenhouse. Notably, there is also a substantial stone barn and adjoining outbuilding—covering around 2,300 sq ft—which holds considerable development potential (subject to necessary planning permissions). While the property has been lovingly maintained over the past forty years, it still requires modern updates and completion of elements such as the en-suite bathroom. With cosmetic improvements and some structural work, Goosegreen can become an enduring family home or an attractive rental investment in this sought-after location.
