Hartsop, Penrith, CA11

Nestled in the charming Lakeland village of Hartsop along the Patterdale Valley, and boasting views from every window, sits this most attractive, four bedroom, detached residence. If you are looking to enjoy an incredible rural lifestyle, then look no further ... welcome to Styan Bew.

With a name that refers to a 'stone structure/dwelling', this beautiful home sits proud amongst the incredible backdrop of Lakeland fells including Hartsop Dodd and Dove Cragg. Of bespoke construction circa 1994, the design and build of the property belies the appearance - which could be mistaken to date from the 1600's, due to the sympathetic use of local materials wherever possible, and thoughtful consideration to the display of character and charm throughout.

The accommodation is well-proportioned, offering an excellent degree of versatility, and includes two generous reception rooms, cottage kitchen - complete with forest green Aga, a super utility, office/hobby room, four double bedrooms, two bathrooms and ample storage. This is complemented by the attractive gardens that encompass Styan Bew and house an array of flowers and shrubs that provide a haven for nature. The sound of Pasture Beck adds to the tranquillity of the setting, which is a delight to experience in this private south-facing garden. The property also benefits from a private parking space with the advantage of a 7kw car charging point, and useful sheds which offer additional external storage options.

Hartsop is a quintessential Lakeland Village which sits along the Patterdale Valley, immersed in the delightful countryside that forms part of the Lake District National Park. The neighboring villages of Patterdale and Glenridding are nearby and offer a range of services and active communities and there is a shop within a mile of the property at the The Brotherswater Inn campsite which we understand is open all year.  Penrith, the M6 and Keswick to the north west and Windermere/Kendal to the south, are all within approx. 30-45 minutes' drive and London is only three hours away by train from Penrith railway station.  

Mains electricity & water; shared septic tank drainage; oil central heating supplemented by AGA which also heats the water; 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 junction 40 of the M6 at Penrith, access the A66 trunk road heading west and proceed for just under a mile to the Rheged Discovery Centre roundabout. Take the second exit (A592 for Ullswater) and continue for approximately 11 miles along this route - which borders Ullswater. Proceed through Glenridding and continue on to Patterdale. Once you exit Patterdale, stay on the A592 and after approximately 2 miles, take the left turn (by the bus stop) to Hartsop. Once in the village, the property can be found a short distance along on the right hand side. To park, proceed along the road to a public car park where you can park whilst exploring the area.
