Summary - Flat 1a, Auction Mart House, Castlegate, PENRITH CA11 7JD
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable ground-floor flat steps from the station and town centre.
Ground-floor one-bedroom sandstone flat, ideal for single occupant or buy-to-let
A compact, ground-floor one-bedroom flat in a traditional sandstone mid-terrace, positioned a short walk from Penrith railway station and town centre amenities. The open-plan kitchen / lounge / diner provides a sensible living layout with modern UPVC double glazing, vinyl and carpeted floors and a large hot water cylinder, making day-to-day living straightforward. Council tax band A and an EPC rating of C help running costs remain reasonable.
The property is best suited to a single occupant, first-time buyer seeking an affordable town-centre base, or an investor looking for a small buy-to-let with excellent transport links. The location is a major selling point: Morrisons is about 50m away and the station roughly 100m, with fast rail links and easy road access to the M6 and A66.
Buyers should note practical limitations: the flat is small (around 459 sq ft), heating is by wall-mounted electric panel heaters (no central gas heating), and the building appears to have traditional stone walls with assumed no insulation. Tenure is not specified and should be confirmed. The neighbourhood reports higher crime levels, which some buyers may consider when weighing security or long-term rental demand.
Cosmetic updating and targeted improvements (improved insulation, efficient heating) would add comfort and potential value. Overall, this is a straightforward, affordably priced town-centre flat with strong connectivity — a pragmatic purchase for a cost-conscious first buyer or investor prepared to manage the noted constraints.
