Chapel Mews, Penrith, CA10

Cradled within a peaceful mews in the idyllic village of Cliburn, we discover 2 Chapel Mews. Behind its modest façade lies one of the most aesthetically pleasing homes; renovated and lovingly maintained by its current owner for over 20 years.
Spread gracefully across three floors, this remarkable home offers beautiful views, impeccable styling, and meticulous attention to detail. Inside, it feels like a brand-new home. Rebuilt in 2020 on the footprint of an ancient barn, the property retains an original limestone floor; a timeless nod to its heritage.
The accommodation is light, spacious, and versatile, making it a perfect choice for someone looking to downsize or for those seeking a characterful holiday let investment.
Let’s take a closer look at this stunning home, see what captures your heart first.
Welcome Home to Chapel Mews…
Arrive via a generous, block-paved driveway adorned with potted plants that burst into colour throughout the seasons. Close the handsome, heavy gates and step inside.
Underfoot, you’re greeted by limestone paving, worn smooth by many footsteps over time. To the right sits Bedroom Three: a well-proportioned single room or ideal home office, with rustic, hardwearing oak flooring and a charming arrow-slit window offering views of the peaceful lane at the front.
Adjacent is the ground-floor WC. Despite its size, style has not been forgotten here, gleaming white sanitaryware is set against a bold feature wall in Grey Shingle, with matte black shelving for towels and quirky bathroom art.
To the left, a door leads into the integral garage. The current owner has cleverly created a utility area here, complete with plumbing for a washing machine, space for a tumble dryer and fridge/freezer plus a wall of shelving and cupboards provides ample storage. These can easily be removed if desired, allowing the garage to return to its original use, with convenient up-and-over doors.
Throughout the home, the colour scheme is a sleek, stylish monochrome. Skirting boards and architraves are finished in modern flat matte black, a striking contrast to the warm solid oak doors. Contemporary black wall switches and socket plates add a sophisticated, design-led edge to the interiors.
Living & Entertaining
Ascend the first staircase, where a thick, luxurious carpet (fitted in 2023) flows through the full height of the home. A flat matte black handrail and matching spindles lead you to the first landing.
Here, you’ll find the incredible open-plan living space. The lounge, dining area, and kitchen flow seamlessly, perfect for both relaxed living and entertaining. The kitchen, designed and fitted by Howdens in 2021, features elegant under-counter and eye-level cabinetry, a Lamona five-ring gas hob with concealed overhead extractor, integrated Bosch fridge, Neff oven, Bosch slimline dishwasher, Lamona microwave/grill/oven, and a Lamona warming drawer. Additional discreet storage continues into the dining area.
Oak flooring adds warmth and richness, while two east-facing windows flood the room with morning light and offer enchanting views across to the Pennines, glowing pink and orange as the sun sets. A square bay ‘nook’ creates the perfect spot to take it all in.
The Upper Floor
Climb to the top floor, where two double bedrooms and a newly upgraded shower room await.
Bedroom One enjoys easterly views and easily accommodates a king-sized bed. An open wardrobe, tucked neatly behind soft voile curtains, could be enclosed with doors if desired.
Bedroom Two is bright and airy, thanks to a generous Velux window, and offers ample space for wardrobes and drawers.
The bathroom was transformed in 2023 into a beautifully appointed shower room, a luxurious haven in which to relax and recharge. A large double enclosure houses a mains-fed shower with overhead drench and handheld attachment. Complemented by a low-flush WC and stylish vanity basin, the suite is finished with a bright chrome heated towel rail and underfloor heating beneath slate tiles.
At the top of the landing is access to a fully insulated loft via a large hatch.
