Summary - The Green, Talkin, BRAMPTON CA8 1LT
4 bed 4 bath Detached
Generous plot with south‑facing terraces, stream, pond and double garage.
Detached sandstone former dower house with extensive period features
A substantial sandstone former dower house sensitively extended to combine mid‑19th century character with flexible modern living. The house offers five principal reception rooms, a ground‑floor double bedroom with en‑suite and three further double bedrooms upstairs, including a principal suite with vaulted ceiling and fitted wardrobes. Large, well‑appointed kitchen/diner with a four‑oven AGA and integrated Bosch appliances provides a practical, welcoming hub for everyday family life.
The gardens are a standout feature: approximately half an acre of wraparound grounds with south‑facing terraces, sweeping lawns, mature trees, a stream, ornamental pond and a footbridge. A broad driveway and double garage provide secure parking, and the outlook is towards open countryside with easy access to local walks and Talkin Tarn Country Park. Broadband speeds are reported fast, but there is no mobile signal on site.
Practical points to note: heating is oil‑fired via boiler and radiators and the EPC rating is F. Stone external walls are original (assumed without cavity insulation), so there may be scope for energy efficiency improvements. Council Tax sits in a high band. An area of roughly 0.20 acres beyond the main terraces previously had planning consent for a single dwelling, presenting development or ancillary‑accommodation potential subject to consents.
This property will suit families or buyers seeking peaceful village life with generous indoor and outdoor space, or purchasers wanting a character house with further development or energy‑upgrade potential. The setting, generous plot and flexible layout are strong selling points, balanced by the cost and work associated with updating older fabric and oil heating.
