Located in this always sought after village, easily accessible to Penrith & the Lake District, a Grade II listed former farmhouse providing 4 bedrooms, generous gardens, off road parking & attached cottage with extension / development. Additional acreage may be available by separate negotiation.
Offered to the market with no ongoing chain, an intriguing opportunity to acquire a substantial stone built former farmhouse, in this popular village to the fringe of Penrith.
Easily accessible to the town centre, Skelton, with its highly regarded primary school and Michelin starred pub / restaurant, and the Lake District, the property is in good order, with recently updated kitchen and bathroom, but does require some updating in places and is priced accordingly.
Having been in our clients family for many years, the main property follows a traditional double fronted Georgian layout, whilst to the side is the original house, which has a date stone showing its build date of 1731.
Accommodation wise, the main house comprises to the ground floor 2 reception rooms, the kitchen and a pantry. To the first floor are 4 bedrooms and a 4 piece family bathroom.
To the rear is a covered boot room with a "hired lads" room above.
The adjoining cottage currently comprises single large rooms to the ground and first floor, with a covered area to the rear which could be incorporated into the accommodation footprint.
Externally, the property is accessed via a shared lane which serves a number of barns to the rear, and has enclosed gardens to the front with parking, along with additional parking area to the rear.
Ideal as a family home, or with potential to create a self-contained annexe ideal for investment purposes or multi-generational living, viewing is highly recommended to appreciate.
Additional acreage may be available by seperate negotation.
