This duplex penthouse occupies an elevated roofline position with a private balcony and clear views across Penrith to the distant Lake District fells. The open-plan ground floor living space is bright, contemporary and fitted with integrated kitchen appliances. A generous double bedroom with pitched ceiling and Velux windows feels larger than typical one-bed flats. A substantial first-floor home office/loft provides flexible space for working from home or extra living area.
Practical advantages include permit off-street parking, secure entry, ultrafast broadband and a very long lease (999 years from 2017). The apartment is presented in a modern style with laminate and vinyl finishes, and it will suit a single professional, a commuting couple or a buy-to-let investor seeking strong town-centre rental appeal.
Buyers should note some material points: outdoor space is limited to a small balcony; the loft/home office has some restricted head height in parts; the immediate area records very high crime levels and is classified as deprived, which may affect resale and rental premiums. Service charge information is unclear in parts but is shown in listings as around £1,000 per year (paid in two instalments). There is no significant ground rent reported.
Overall this is a striking, well-equipped one-bedroom apartment with useful extra loft space and strong transport links to the A66/M6 and rail services. Its elevated views and long lease are clear positives, but prospective buyers should weigh local area crime/deprivation and limited outdoor space when deciding to view.
