Catterlen, Penrith, CA11

A wonderful opportunity to acquire a beautiful, substantial three bedroomed sandstone home, adjoining the neighboring residence to the rear.

This handsome property has been refurbished throughout by the current owners to provide a period home with retained period charm and welcoming qualities. Henley Bank is certain to cater to a wide variety of buyers due to the versatile and spacious accommodation, generous gardens and excellent outbuilding which originally housed livestock and farm machinery.

With accommodation to the ground floor including a contemporary newly installed kitchen, two generous reception rooms, a sizeable hallway and superb conservatory with views over the garden, the first floor also doesn't disappoint. The first floor boasts three double bedrooms, one of which enjoys a dual aspect with far reaching views, along with a large family shower room. Externally, the property benefits from its own gated entrance and driveway, providing offroad parking for several vehicles, generous attractive gardens to both front and rear.  The sandstone outbuilding remains largely untouched with original features retained, thereby having huge potential to be utilised for a variety of purposes, subject to the necessary consents.

Henley Bank benefits from being ready for immediate occupation having been re-decorated and re-carpeted throughout, re-roofed, re-wired and with a new central heating boiler and new kitchen installed. The neutral tones used during the refurbishment create a blank canvas should the new residents wish to make their own mark on the property, to suit their own personal tastes and preferences. Having been in the same family for generations, Henley bank is now ready for new custodians to make this property their home and enjoy everything it has to offer.
