5 Bedroom House for sale in North West, England for GBP £845,000

One of the area’s foremost residential properties offering exceptional accommodation in beautiful surroundings.

Edenhall is a beautiful rural community, recently designated as a Conservation Area and set in the splendid countryside of the Eden Valley a few minutes’ drive from the market town of Penrith [2 miles]. The village has a well-known fishermen’s hotel and the delightful old church of St. Cuthbert’s, set in open countryside a little way from the settlement. There are many fine walks and sporting facilities in the area, with the Lake District and Pennines being nearby. Despite its very peaceful location the village has excellent communications with the M6 [Junction 40] and A66 Trans-Pennine route being less than 2 miles distant. Stations for the Mainline West Coast railway and scenic Settle-Carlisle line are also within easy reach.

The Vicarage is privately located within the centre of the village. It has an imposing appearance, with the majority of the building probably dating from the early 1800’s but with certain parts being much older. It provides generously proportioned, five-bedroomed accommodation, with well-appointed reception rooms. Of particular note is the former vicar’s study with impressive carved fireplace and sound-proofed door! The present owners have undertaken some sensitive refurbishment which creates an attractive dwelling with considerable character.

The house stands in lovely, walled grounds with mature trees and shrubs affording a good degree of privacy. To the side of the property is an Italianate garden on differing levels linked by pools and waterfalls. To the front are formal scented gardens with roses and creepers.

Within the grounds are two small cottage-type properties which could provide a useful income, or accommodation for a dependent relative.

This is an outstanding residence with considerable character, certainly meriting an early inspection
