Garden House, Staffield, Penrith

Located within the peaceful and idyllic hamlet of Staffield, in this beautiful section of the Eden Valley, easily accessible to Lazonby, Penrith and Carlisle, a charming sandstone home with wonderful garden to the rear.

Garden House is a deceptively spacious home in the peaceful and idyllic rolling countryside of the Eden Valley, where the space on offer provides lots of flexible living arrangements. Initially forming part of Staffield Hall, a local historic manor house built in 1848 for the Fetherstonhaugh family, Garden House is ideal as either a permanent residence or as a second residence with income generating potential as a holiday let when not in an owner’s use.

Having a number of retained original features, and having been cleverly designed, the ground floor accommodation comprises an entrance hallway, with leaded skylight, which gives access to the living room, which has a sandstone fireplace with a wood burning stove and a pair of sandstone recesses created from former doorways and windows.

Further down the hallway is the downstairs WC, which gives access via a secure door to an internal hallway which leads to its own cellar located directly underneath the kitchen-dinner floor space.

Running the width of the rear of the ground floor is the kitchen-dining room, which has a door leading to the garden and an imposing stone mullioned window with original panelled surround, shutters and window seat.

On the first floor is a study landing which leads to the two double bedrooms and a 4 piece bathroom. The study landing has the potential for an enclosed additional single bedroom by re-installing the internal wall that was once there. Alternatively an additional staircase could be installed on the study landing offering an option to convert the spacious loft above.

Externally to the front is off road parking for 2 vehicles, whilst to the rear is a most generous enclosed garden with raised covered patio from the kitchen and well stocked beds and borders.

Providing characterful accommodation throughout, the property has been improved in recent years to modernise the energy efficiency of the home. This has included the installation of an air source heat pump and new hot water tank, extra internal wall insultation, new radiators throughout and a newly installed sewage treatment plant.

The property has also been connected to the B4RN rural broadband network which gives upload and download speeds in excess of 600 Mbps

Rare to the market, viewing is highly recommended to appreciate.
