Chain-free, characterful 3-bed townhome with cellar and enclosed rear garden.
Mid-terrace Victorian townhouse in sought-after New Streets conservation area
A deceptively spacious mid-terrace Victorian townhouse in Penrith’s popular New Streets conservation area, offered chain free and arranged across four floors. The house retains many original features — bay window, decorative coving and open fireplaces — while providing flexible living with a useful cellar and a converted attic bedroom. With three double bedrooms and a low-maintenance enclosed rear garden, it suits a growing family or buyers seeking a characterful town home close to schools and the Beacon.
The property is found in generally well-maintained order but offers clear scope for personalisation, particularly in the kitchen and some internal finishes. Practical details: mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators, double glazing fitted before 2002, and on-street parking (permit required). There is a right of way to the rear shared with neighbouring properties and the house lies within a conservation area, which may influence permitted changes externally.
Notable practical points are straightforward: overall plot and footprint are small, walls are likely original sandstone/limestone without modern insulation, and services, boiler and radiators have not been tested. These factors present both a cost consideration and an opportunity for improvement — loft and wall insulation upgrades, modern kitchen fitting, or internal refurbishment could add value and comfort.
For families who value proximity to town amenities and good local schools, this property combines period charm with central convenience. Investors or buyers wanting a ready-to-live-in home will appreciate the chain-free position and sound basic condition; those seeking a turnkey modern finish should allow budget for updating and potential conservation-area permissions.
