Summary - MANCHESTER HOUSE SHAP PENRITH CA10 3NL
3 bed 1 bath House
Versatile central village property combining retail income and adaptable family accommodation.
["Prominent shopfront with on-street parking and seating potential","Large mixed-use footprint — approx. 1,512 sq ft","Three bedrooms plus loft storage across two upper floors","Rear yard only; no private garden","Solid brick walls likely uninsulated — retrofit probable","Single family bathroom for all bedrooms","Mains gas boiler and radiators; double glazing post-2002","Central village location with excellent broadband and mobile"]
This three-storey mixed-use property offers a rare live–work setup in the centre of Shap village, with a substantial ground-floor shop and three bedrooms above. The ground floor is currently configured as a busy village shop and post office with prominent street frontage and practical retail space; the upper floors provide flexible family accommodation over two storeys plus attic storage. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and mains gas central heating serves the building.
The layout suits an owner-operator, local retailer or investor seeking immediate rental income with scope to reconfigure the upper floors. The solid-brick construction and double glazing (installed post-2002) give a sound starting point, while the overall footprint and room sizes (approximately 1,512 sq ft) allow for sensible adaptation — subject to any necessary change-of-use permissions for a full residential conversion.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property has no private garden and sits on the main village street, so outdoor space is limited to a rear yard. The walls are likely uninsulated (solid brick as built), so additional insulation works may be required to improve thermal performance. There is a single family bathroom for the accommodation, and any significant conversion or modernisation will require planning and building-control checks.
Positioned at the gateway to the Lake District National Park, the location brings steady local trade, village amenities and good motorway links — an appealing mix of lifestyle and commercial opportunity for buyers who value visibility and flexibility.
