Caldbeck, Wigton, CA7

Welcome to Parkend, a very special property that offers you an incredible lifestyle opportunity. Nestling at the foot of the Caldbeck Commons, with the unspoiled wide open spaces of the Lake District National Park enveloping you in this ruggedly tranquil location, giving you nature at its most beautiful quite literally in your garden.

Sitting in just under half an acre this characterful home already offers three generous bedrooms, two of them are ensuite and there is a further shower room on the ground floor. With two staircases there is great flexibility in the room usage, providing office spaces and snugs in addition to the 25' lounge with log burning stove and the 19' open plan living dining kitchen, plus a utility / boot room.

However there is some serious untapped potential, beyond the lounge, with direct access door in place you find a further 25' barn with mezzanine level. Is your imagination now running wild with the possibilities in how you could incorporate this into the existing living accommodation or perhaps create an annexe for family or holiday let with the appropriate planning?

The location is incredible, offering endless walking, cycling and exploring opportunities, but without even leaving the garden you have the Parkend Beck, complete with a picture perfect stone bridge, running alongside you, and who doesn't love to paddle!
