Renovation-ready country home with planning for a ground-floor extension.
Panoramic rear views to Blencarn Lake and the north Pennines
Set in quiet Blencarn with wide views across the Eden Valley to Blencarn Lake and the Pennines, this three-bedroom semi presents a rare chance to craft a comfortable country home. The plot has gardens on three sides and a decent-sized rear that captures the panoramic outlook and evening sunsets.
Planning permission is already granted for a single-storey rear extension, creating clear scope to enlarge the living space and make the most of the views. The current layout offers an entrance hall, living room, dining kitchen, two store rooms and a ground-floor WC, with three bedrooms and a shower room upstairs — a practical family layout ready for refurbishment.
Practical considerations are straightforward: tenure is freehold, council tax Band B, and the owner will grant an easement allowing parking on the green in front. However the property needs work — main heating is coal with room heaters, EPC rating is F, and very slow broadband may affect remote working. A local occupancy clause applies; check qualification requirements beforehand.
For buyers seeking rural tranquility with renovation potential, this house offers immediate views, outdoor space and permitted development to increase living area. Tackling the heating, energy performance and internal refurbishment will unlock strong long-term value in a peaceful village setting.
