The additional living space, across the hallway, offers a completely different feel.

Working your way up the staircase you are greeted by a large sash window that floods the stairway with natural light and a sneak view of the greenery outside. The entire top floor features gorgeous parquet flooring, finished in a herringbone style. The first floor offers 4 double bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a dressing room.



The Primary bedroom is special. This generous, boutique, space benefits from a full wall of bespoke, solid wood, wardrobes. The dark exterior of the wardrobes is complimented beautifully by the oak interior. The Primary bedroom offers windows at each end to provide natural light.

Shepherds Hill has as much to offer outside, surrounded by mature plants with a fantastic, private and secure lawn. The trees around the property add privacy. To the rear of the property a fabulous terrace and pergola offers somewhere to enjoy alfresco dining. A spacious driveway, complete with turning circle offers room for several cars and is secure.



A traditional stone barn sits to the front of the property. This Grade II* listed barn also dates to 1754 and is the home of the former Penrith based brewery, Glasson's. This fantastic, historic building offers so much more on the inside and holds a wealth of history. The original kiln is still intact and the barn itself is divided into several sections which would make a great base to run a business from. With the right planning applications, this could also be utilised to bring in a revenue for the new owner. The barn has its own access from the front of the property and would work perfectly as a garage space. Shepherds hill is accessed via Watson terrace via a secure, electric roller gate.
