1 & 2 Mellfell View, Troutbeck, Penrith, Cumbria

Situated midway between Keswick and Penrith, with easy access to the Ullswater Valley and with wonderful views of Mell Fell and Blencathra, a most interesting opportunity to acquire a pair of 2 and 3 bed cottages, sat in grounds circa 2.5 acres, ideal as a main residence, with holiday let potential.

Found in a great location, on the banks of the Troutbeck stream which gives the village its name, 1 and 2 Mellfell View is a great chance to purchase a most appealing pair of cottages, occupying a generous plot, in all circa 2.5 acres, with excellent potential for landscaping into beautiful gardens, or as a small paddock area.

Having been renovated and greatly improved by our clients in recent years, with some completion works being required in places, the property has the great benefit of a ground source heating system providing underfloor heating to the lower floors of both cottages, and also the first floor of number 2.

Accommodation wise, number 1 comprises to the ground floor 2 reception rooms and a modern kitchen, with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom to the first floor.

Number 2 is the larger of the cottages and consists to the ground floor a living dining room, kitchen with breakfast room area and downstairs WC, sitting room and rear porch / conservatory.

To the first floor are 3 double bedrooms and a bathroom.

In addition to the attached grounds, which have a selection of useful stores, stables, woodshed and carport, the property also includes a small piece of land to the southern side of the road which is currently used as a chicken run.

Troutbeck itself is set within the Lake District National Park (recently voted a UNESCO World Heritage Site) has direct access to the A66, is the gateway to Ullswater and the Eastern Lakes with Keswick to the west some 8½ miles away and Penrith and the M6 motorway to the east some 9½ miles distant, is within the catchment of Penruddock Village Junior School and well rated Keswick/Penrith Secondary Schools. The Troutbeck area benefits from a Public House/Hotel, farm shop, Sportman Inn and popular ‘Rookin House’ Equestrian Centre nearby.

An excellent opportunity to acquire a characterful family property, ideal for multi-generational living or with income generating potential from the 2nd cottage as a rental unit, subject to the necessary permissions, viewing is highly recommended to appreciate.
