Description

This charming four-bedroom detached sandstone home is situated in a prime location on the village green in Langwathby, directly opposite local amenities such as the pub, playground, and general store. At approximately 1,391 sq ft, this property offers a unique opportunity to craft a home tailored to personal tastes amid a highly desirable village setting. Retaining many period features such as cast iron fireplaces and panelled doors, the property also boasts an impressive exposed stone archway in the kitchen area. A new roof was installed in 2023; however, other areas of the house are in need of modernisation, providing significant potential for buyers looking to invest time and resources into updating this residence. The ground floor layout includes a bright uPVC porch leading to a traditional hallway with original staircase. Two separate reception rooms feature attractive cast iron fireplaces, while the kitchen diner showcases a vaulted ceiling and offers ample space for dining. The utility room and ground floor shower room add practicality to this level. Upstairs, four bedrooms of varying sizes are accessible from the carpeted landing. The principal bedroom and Bedroom 2 both offer good dimensions, complemented by three additional rooms including a smaller nursery space with sloped ceilings. A family bathroom completes the first floor. Outside, the property enjoys pleasant views over the village green and features a gated side path that leads to off-road parking for two cars and additional outdoor space. This inviting garden area presents opportunities for enhancement or recreation. Langwathby is a well-served village located just five miles northeast of Penrith, offering community spirit along with essential amenities such as shops and schools. With excellent connectivity to Penrith and surrounding areas—this home combines rural charm with practical living.

55out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This four-bedroom detached sandstone home in Langwathby offers a unique opportunity to own a characterful property in a desirable village location. With 1,391 square feet of space, the layout includes two reception rooms, a kitchen diner with a vaulted ceiling, and four bedrooms, providing ample room for a family. The property's period features, such as cast iron fireplaces and an exposed stone archway, add charm and character, although the home is in need of significant modernisation throughout.

However, the asking price of £299,950, while below the local average price per square foot, raises concerns about its overall value proposition when considering the extent of renovations required. The lack of detailed renovation estimates and visual assessments limits the clarity on potential returns, making this a riskier investment. Despite these concerns, the appealing village setting, proximity to amenities, and the recent installation of a new roof could make this home a worthwhile project for the right buyer willing to invest both time and money into its transformation.
