Summary - 15, Sandgate, PENRITH CA11 7TN
2 bed 1 bath House
Character-filled central home with attic conversion potential and private parking.
Grade II* listed cottage with significant original features
A rare Grade II* listed cottage close to Penrith town centre, this 17th-century end-terrace retains striking period detail including full wood panelling and an ornate Jacobean plaster ceiling motif dated 1647. The house is compact and characterful, with a generous wood-panelled living room, dining kitchen, two first-floor bedrooms, a bathroom and a floored attic room that offers scope for conversion (subject to listed-building consent).
Practical comforts include mains gas central heating from a condensing Worcester boiler and secondary glazing, plus a private off-street parking space accessed via Sandgate Court. The small forecourt garden and rear open porch are low-maintenance and suit town-centre living; local shops, schools and transport links are all within easy walking distance.
Buyers should note material constraints: the Grade II* listing will restrict alterations and likely add time and cost to any refurbishment or conversion. The walls are original stone with assumed no modern insulation, the EPC is D, and the property is modest in size (approx. 801 sq ft). There is an annual management charge thought to be around £100, although the current owners say they have not been asked to contribute.
This cottage will suit someone seeking a historic home with strong character rather than a modern, low-maintenance new build. It offers immediate period charm and sensible heating improvements already in place, with potential to add value through sympathetic, consented upgrades to insulation and the attic space.
