WHY HESKET NEWMARKET? A sought after village just within the northern edge of the Lake District National Park, away from the hustle and bustle of the more touristy centre. A thriving village community in its own right, there is a shop, popular pub (The Old Crown) and brewery in Hesket, which are co-operatively owned within the village; and a shop and pub in the neighbouring village of Caldbeck where you will also find the local GP surgery. Convenient for access to the wider region, Penrith, Carlisle and Keswick are all almost equidistant from the property offering the flexibility to commute to either for work, schools or amenities.  

ACCOMMODATION Spacious living providing a dual aspect living dining room with a 9kw multi-fuel stove, which is more than capable of heating the house whilst also providing water heating and heating the towel rail in the bathroom. Water heating can be supplemented by an electric immersion heater if required. There is an ample kitchen with plenty of storage and workspace. There is a door from the kitchen to the low maintenance walled garden with woodstore. Also on the ground floor is a utility room with W.C. At first floor level there are three similarly sized bedrooms and a bathroom, with shower over the bath. The property is double glazed and has LPG central heating with an automatic changeover value. Additionally there are 3kw solar panels to aid with reducing running costs. They currently provide c.£1,000pa of income. For additional storage there is ladder access to a fully boarded and lit loft. Of additional interest is the attached single garage, perfect for storing mountain bikes, motorbikes or outdoor equipment.
