Plumpton, Penrith

Forming the larger part of this sandstone barn just over 3 miles from the centre of Penrith and with excellent open views to the rear across the surrounding countryside, this is an increasingly rare opportunity to re-develop a traditional farm building to create 2 large homes, Unit 2 giving approximately 1756 sq ft - 163 sq m and unit 3 being approximately 1821 sq ft - 169 sq m.

Unit 2 will have accommodation comprising: Entrance Hall, Dining Kitchen, Living Room being open to the ceiling, Rear Hall, a Double Bedroom/Study, a Double Bedroom with En-Suite Shower Room and a Bathroom to the ground floor and a Landing and 2 Double Bedrooms to the first floor.
