Three-bedroom home with beautiful garden and separate garage near Penrith.
End-terraced stone cottage with period character and multi-fuel stove
Step into a characterful end-terraced cottage set in peaceful Calthwaite, equidistant between Penrith and Carlisle and within easy reach of the Lake District and M6. The house combines traditional stone construction and period details with practical updates such as double glazing and a good-sized dining kitchen for everyday family life. The lounge centres on a multi-fuel stove, creating a warm, welcoming focal point for evenings.
Accommodation is straightforward and well laid out: three bedrooms, one bathroom and a generous reception room. The property is freehold, of average internal size (approx. 828 sq ft) and sits on a small plot with beautifully maintained gardens that offer privacy and a pleasant rural outlook. Parking is provided plus a separate garage in a nearby block.
Practical considerations: heating is by electric storage and room heaters rather than a gas central system, so running costs may be higher than for gas-heated homes. The garage is detached in a block of three and the plot is modest in size. The build date (1991–1995) and assumed insulated stone walls suggest reasonable thermal performance, but buyers should verify insulation and services if sensitive to energy efficiency.
This cottage will suit buyers looking for a peaceful village home with character and outdoor space close to good primary schools and local amenities. It also offers scope for modest updating to heating and services to match individual preferences, while presenting a low-crime, well-connected rural setting with fast broadband.
