Dockray, Penrith, CA11

Three bedroomed, traditional, semi-detached cottage set in the tranquil village of Dockray with open outlooks to front and rear. The property retains many original features but does now require some modernisation.

Ground floor accommodation briefly comprises living room with open fireplace, dining room/second reception room with wood burning stove, and open plan kitchen/dining area. To the first floor are three bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Externally there is a large garden area to the front and an outhouse to the side of the property which is ideal for storage.  Steps at the rear lead up to a further garden area, which is mainly laid to lawn and enjoys wonderful views over open countryside and toward the Lakeland fells.

Parking could possibly be created at the front of the property if desired, subject to necessary consents, as there is ample space. 

Dockray is a delightful, attractive village, peacefully positioned amidst magnificent Lakeland scenery between Ullswater and the A66 trunk road.  The village has a public house and is within easy walking distance of the famous Aira Force waterfall along with many other wonderful walks.  The A66 provides good access to the nearby market towns of Penrith (10 miles to the east) and Keswick (12 miles to the west). Both towns cater well for everyday needs i.e. shops, supermarkets, railway stations and a wide variety of sports and leisure facilities. Those who wish to enjoy outdoor activities will find the Lakeland fells and Ullswater easily accessible.

Mains electricity and water. Septic tank drainage (shared with adjoining property). Night storage heaters. 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.
