This five-bedroom property showcases a blend of traditional character and significant renovation potential, making it an excellent investment opportunity. The entrance opens into a spacious reception hall, defined by its period staircase and original Victorian tiled floor. This area leads to three main reception rooms, including a generously sized drawing room featuring a bay window overlooking the front garden, ornate moldings, and a charming fireplace with a Jotul wood burner.
The formal dining room offers additional elegance with its own bay window and built-in display cabinets, while another versatile reception room is currently used as a cozy snug. A downstairs cloakroom provides convenience for guests. From the hallway, stairs descend into the cellar, which offers extra storage space.
At the rear of the house, the former back kitchen has been repurposed as a functional boot room filled with charming period elements such as stone flags and original press cupboards. Leading from this space is a practical utility room equipped for modern conveniences. The bright kitchen retains its character with oak flooring and includes both wall-mounted cupboards and work surfaces featuring Kirkstone slate and wood. An integrated fridge, dishwasher, and an oil-fired Aga add to its appeal. Adjacent to the kitchen is an informal dining area that provides access to the garden.
Upstairs, you’ll find five well-proportioned bedrooms adorned with period details like fireplaces and radiators. One bedroom functions as an office, while the primary suite boasts a lovely bay window and an adjoining dressing room. Two family bathrooms are tastefully designed—one includes both a bath and shower, while the other features a spacious walk-in shower.
Set within approximately 1.3 acres of manageable grounds, this property enjoys scenic views thanks to its location adjacent to open fields. A curved gravel driveway leads to the home, while mature trees surround the property alongside an orchard housing plum and apple trees plus a vegetable garden. The exterior also features several outbuildings; one is equipped with power for utility purposes, while another barn—previously granted planning permission for conversion into a three-bedroom dwelling—offers significant redevelopment possibilities in line with appropriate planning permissions.
The property is strategically located near key transport links—just five miles from Carlisle city center and close to major routes like the M6 motorway—and lies within easy reach of outdoor recreational areas such as Lake Ullswater in the Lake District National Park. Local amenities are plentiful in nearby towns including Penrith and Dalston, which feature independent shops and restaurants along with educational facilities.
