Cross House, Newby, Penrith, Cumbria

This traditional former farmhouse presents a unique opportunity to acquire a property steeped in history, available for the first time in over a century. Nestled in a tranquil village setting south of Penrith, the house boasts four bedrooms and generous gardens, including a former orchard, alongside ample parking. While the property retains considerable charm and character, it requires updating and modernisation, offering excellent potential for a new owner to enhance and personalise the living space to their liking. The ground floor features a spacious living room and a separate sitting room at the front, complemented by a dining kitchen, utility room, and a shower/wet room at the rear. Upstairs, you'll find four bedrooms and a family bathroom, providing flexible accommodation with significant scope for improvement. Additionally, there is useful cellar storage and an outside stone-built store room. The exterior includes a traditional forecourt garden at the front and ample off-road parking at the rear, along with a carport. The area of former orchard adds an attractive dimension to the property, offering landscaping opportunities or the chance to reinstate it as an orchard. With its peaceful rural setting and substantial plot, this property holds considerable potential to transform into a desirable country home while remaining conveniently close to Penrith and the stunning landscapes of the Eden Valley and Lake District.
