Set on a generous plot in peaceful Kirkby Thore, this four-bedroom detached home pairs village tranquillity with easy A66 access to Penrith and surrounding centres. Upstairs a large, light living room captures far-reaching countryside and Lake District fell views, providing a bright family hub. The property is offered chain-free and benefits from private parking, an integral garage and ultrafast broadband.
Internally the layout suits family life: an open-plan kitchen/dining/sitting room with adjoining utility, a ground-floor bedroom or office and three further bedrooms upstairs. The upstairs living room with electric log burner is a particular selling point for those who enjoy expansive views and natural light. The rear garden backs onto open countryside and is low-maintenance with an astro-turf area and mature planting.
The house is a good-sized, traditional build with double glazing and oil-fired heating, but it does need updating in places. The kitchen is dated (1970s/1980s style) and the home would reward cosmetic and functional refurbishment to lift energy efficiency and aesthetics. The EPC is band E. Buyers should note the sale is by probate, so conveyancing may take a little longer than usual.
This property will suit families seeking space and views in a quiet village, or buyers looking for a refurbishment project with strong location appeal. Practical positives include substantial room sizes (approx. 1,572 sq ft), private driveway and garage, fast broadband and low local crime; practical considerations include oil heating, higher council tax band and the probate process.
