Cemetery House, Coast Road, Maryport, CA15 6PA

Dating back to 1855 this beautifully presented former Cemetery Keepers Lodge House is a delightful period property, rich in character and enjoying a fantastic coastal location which has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with far reaching views over the local Golf Course to the Solway Firth and Scottish Hills.

The current owners have undertaken a thorough renovation of the property, carried out with great care and attention to detail and managing to sympathetically enhance the period details, whilst breathing new life into the home with modern convenience, including a brand new air source heat system, solar panels and multi fuel stove.

The accommodation comprises: lounge with multi fuel stove, dining kitchen with hand built cabinetry and dining space for up to eight, ground floor double bedroom and a shower room.

To the first floor are two spacious double bedrooms, both enjoying far reaching views over Allonby Bay, the Solway Coast and the Scottish hills, a three piece bathroom with shower over bath and a roof terrace which gives panoramic views over the surroundings - as well as being a perfect place for a BBQ and entertaining, enjoying the spectacular Solway sunsets or even star gazing!

Externally there is an attached former stable which works perfectly as a storage room or workshop, but has lapsed planning permission to be converted into additional accommodation or as a bijoux annexe. There is permissive parking for three cars to the front, and to the rear of the property is a private lawned garden and patio area which are a complete sun trap.

Cemetery House is something truly special, and only an internal inspection can truly show off this one of a kind home.
