Spacious five-bed period terrace with cellar and low-maintenance garden in Castletown..
Five bedrooms over three floors, suitable for families or rental occupancy
Large cellar offers storage or conversion potential (subject to approvals)
Five-piece family bathroom — rare for terrace houses
Low-maintenance rear garden with paved seating and outhouse
Electric storage heating; likely higher running costs than gas
Stone walls assumed uninsulated; energy-efficiency upgrades needed
Small overall footprint despite five bedrooms; rooms efficiently arranged
Area records higher crime levels; buyers should research local safety
Set across three floors in Penrith’s popular Castletown, this Victorian mid-terrace delivers adaptable five-bedroom family accommodation with period character. High ceilings, an arched brick facade and a generous five-piece bathroom give the house immediate appeal for families wanting space close to good local schools.
The ground floor offers an open-plan dining lounge and a contemporary kitchen, with access down to a spacious cellar that provides substantial storage or scope for conversion (subject to consents). An enclosed low-maintenance rear garden with paved seating, artificial lawn and an outhouse suits busy households and low-upkeep outdoor living.
Practical considerations are clear: heating is by electric storage heaters and the original stone walls are assumed uninsulated, so running costs and insulation upgrades should be factored in. The area records higher local crime levels, and the overall footprint is described as small despite five bedrooms—rooms are arranged efficiently rather than being especially large.
This freehold home will suit growing families or investors seeking a period property with immediate rental or occupation potential and clear scope to improve energy performance and internal layout. Important structural or service surveys are recommended to confirm insulation, wiring and cellar conversion feasibility.
