Penruddock, Penrith, CA11

A rare opportunity to acquire two beautiful, terraced character properties nestled within the Lake District National Park, on the outskirts of the desirable village of Penruddock. Formerly part of a farm steading and lovingly converted into charming residential dwellings, Brewery Barn and Beckces Buttery are two pleasantly proportioned, three and one bedroomed properties with an abundance of scope on offer.

Currently presented as two separate residences, these properties could very easily be combined to create one substantial dwelling since there are two adjoining doors between the properties, one on the ground floor and another on the first floor, which, if utilised, provide access between them. There is also potential for further adaptions to amalgamate both properties on a more extensive basis if required.

In addition to these superb properties, there is garden area to the front, ample parking and a single garage. The garden area is currently open plan however this could easily be separated with low level fencing/hedging to create a boundary and provide a garden to each property if preferred.  

A substantial garth sits alongside the front boundary wall - deceptively sized and conveniently positioned. This could be made available for sale as a separate negotiation with a suggested guide price in the region of £25,000. 

Property of this nature seldom comes to the market in this location and is sure to appeal to those who require two adjoining properties, a home with income potential or a substantial family residence.

Viewing is essential to appreciate the opportunity on offer.

Brewery Barn and Beckces Buttery are situated on the outskirts of the village of Penruddock and are located inside the Lake District National Park boundary.  The village is conveniently positioned, being approx. 6 miles from the M6 motorway (junction 40) and Penrith, where there is a mainline railway station providing services north and south, London and Glasgow. Penruddock itself has a number of facilities including a public house - ‘The Herdwick Inn’, primary school and ‘All Saints’ church. The neighbouring village of Greystoke, approx. 2 miles away provides further amenities including shop/post office, public house and outdoor swimming pool. The tranquillity of the eastern Lakeland fells is right on the doorstep and the popular locations of Ullswater, Derwentwater and Keswick are all within easy reach.

Mains electricity & water; septic tank drainage; oil-fired central heating, double glazing installed throughout; telephone & broadband connections installed subject to BT regulations. Please note: The mention of any appliances/services within these particulars does not imply that they are in full and efficient working order.

From Penrith, take the A66 toward Keswick.  Just after the end of the dual carriageway, continue past the turning into Penruddock, then take the next right turn signposted Greystoke. The properties are situated on the right hand side just before the 'T' junction.
