Ousby, Penrith, CA10

Nestled in the heart of the popular village of Ousby, is this lovely detached two bedroom bungalow which offers plenty of scope both inside and out.

Currah Cove was built in the mid 1980s by the current vendor and enjoys views to both front and rear elevations;  the Lakeland fells to the front and the Pennines to the rear.

The accommodation briefly comprises: dual aspect living room, dual aspect kitchen, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

While needing a program of modernisation throughout, the existing property benefits from a well designed layout which could lend itself to being extended or modified (garage conversion, a conservatory or an extension) should the purchaser wished to do so. 

To the outside, Currah Cove sits on a generous plot incorporating a well stocked front garden, driveway providing parking for two to three cars, side garden and substantial wood store and shed to the rear. The remaining part of the plot is taken up with the orchard/lawn which could, subject to permissions, house another structure thanks to a separate access on to Currah Close. Alternatively, a purchaser could further expand the orchard to provide additional fruit trees and garden area.

Ousby is located close to the market town of Penrith, providing easy access to the M6 motorway. Rail links are also only a short distance away with stations in the village of Langwathby and in Penrith. There is a C of E primary school situated a short bus journey away in the village of Langwathby and two superb secondary schools in nearby Penrith; Queen Elizabeth Grammar School and Ullswater Community College. Further education is available at Carlisle College, the University of Cumbria and Lancaster University.

Mains electricity and water, drainage by septic tank. Telephone line installed subject to BT regulations. Please note - the mention of any appliances and/or services within these particulars does not imply that they are in full and efficient working order.

Leave Penrith on the A686 towards Alston, go through Langwathby and continue on the A686. After approx. 1.4 miles you will see a black and white house on the right, next to a turn-off signposted to Ousby. Turn right here and continue through the village, passing The Fox Inn on the left. Take the next left and then the next left again onto the driveway of Currah Cove.
