Scalehouse, Renwick, Penrith, CA10

Nestled in the beautiful hamlet of Scalehouse, set in an elevated position to take in the most delightful panoramic views, is this 3 bedroomed, 2 bathroom single storey property, well proportioned and benefitting from fabulous gardens, together with a paddock extending to circa 1 acre, and an additional field area with large farm building in situ.

Starting life as a cow byre and converted in 1999, Mountain view is now a property that caters well to varying lifestyles and would certainly benefit those wishing to acquire a home with facilities that would accommodate an equestrian/small holding lifestyle and those wishing to be more self sufficient. With accommodation that is both well laid out and well proportioned, the external aspects complement this delightful home very well indeed.

Internally a welcoming entrance hall leads to accommodation which briefly includes a generous living room complete with multifuel stove, sun room, dining kitchen, three double bedrooms, one of which benefits from a walk in wardrobe and ensuite facilities, a separate family bathroom, utility and rear porch.

To the rear, there is a beautiful walled garden, one which is reminiscent of the Mediterranean, with terracotta coloured walls and flagged patio providing a wonderful, sheltered and private area of tranquility. Off the rear garden there is a useful adjoining workshop, with power and lighting. Furthermore, beyond the wall is a haven for wildlife, with an area of wilding/woodland providing a blanket of fauna, trees and shrubs, with steps leading to the gated parking area and car port. The grounds extend to the side and front of the property which is where the enviable views on offer can be embraced and enjoyed. The low maintenance, walled front garden is perfectly positioned to look over the paddock and ground which forms part of this delightful acquisition.

The paddock extends to circa 1 acre and houses a fabulous fruit and vegetable garden together with a sizeable Dutch Barn to one end. In addition to the paddock, a small field, complete with an area of hard standing and substantial, three bay former farm building, completes the property.

If it is a beautiful rural lifestyle that you wish to embrace, look no further...
