Brougham Avenue, Brougham, Penrith, CA10

A substantial detached residence, positioned along the highly desirable Brougham Avenue and boasting generous accommodation, double garage and wraparound plot.

Believed to be built in the 1950's, we understand this to be the first property erected along Brougham Avenue for a local timber merchant (Mr Herd). Subsequently, the extensive garden was split and the neighbouring property, together with a number of other houses were built some years later. The history of 5 Brougham Avenue is still evident in the woodwork throughout the property and displays the initial 'H' on most of the internal doors.

The property comprises well proportioned accommodation throughout, including porch leading into the welcoming entrance hall, with doors leading to all ground floor rooms. Further accommodation to the ground floor includes utility/rear porch, side aspect sun room, and boiler room. To the first floor the galleried landing leads to three double bedrooms, bathroom and separate WC. The loft space has potential to convert to further accommodation.

Externally the driveway provides ample parking space, leading to the generous double garage, with the front garden mainly laid to lawn with established trees, shrubbery and flower bed border. To the side and rear are a combination of established flower and shrub borders, large lawn and block paved patio areas, with fencing to three sides providing an excellent degree of privacy.

This is a wonderful property, one which would cater well to a range of buyers, especially those looking to acquire a residence that offers scope to enhance the accommodation further.

Brougham is a peaceful rural community, conveniently situated less than two miles from Penrith and therefore having excellent access to the M6 at Junction 40. For those wishing to commute, there is also a mainline railway station in the town, with the Lake District National Park also within easy driving distance.

Mains electricity, water and drainage.  Gas fired central heating and wood double glazing installed. 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.

From Penrith head southward and at the Kemplay roundabout proceed straight over on the A6 for Eamont Bridge. Continue straight through Eamont Bridge and then turn left, signposted Brougham. Proceed under the high stone arch and turn right beside the Brougham Hall outer wall into Brougham Avenue. Once in Brougham Avenue turn right and follow the road where the property can be found, a short distance along on the right hand side.
