Hackthorpe, Penrith, CA10

Nestled in the sought-after village of Hackthorpe, this charming and unique Georgian home offers versatile living space, seamlessly blending period charm with modern finishes and sociable outdoor areas. From its extensive and well curated gardens to the panoramic views over the Eden Valley and Pennines, this home is truly one of a kind.

As you step through the glazed double doors from the rear terrace, you are immediately greeted by a wealth of character. Evidence of the recently completed renovations can be seen in the majority of the rooms, from the beautiful heritage paint colours to the sumptuous floor coverings.

In this wing of the property, you'll find a spacious and bright hallway that allows you to weave your way through the house, leading to the two reception rooms on offer; one being the spacious, triple-aspect lounge, with perfectly framed vistas from every window, open fireplace and room enough for a baby grand; the other being the former library room, now used as a snug. It too features stunning views, as well as a multi fuel stove set into a Georgian fireplace surround.

Between the two reception rooms, you'll find the superbly appointed downstairs cloakroom. Finished with high quality porcelain goods, Spanish tiles and heritage paint, it offers a flexible and useful space.

Returning to the hallway, the original staircase with bannister leads up to the first-floor landing, a cavernous under stairs store cupboard and access to the kitchen. For now, take the stairs and wind your way up to the landing, hallway and three of the four bedrooms, all generously proportioned and featuring breathtaking views, providing the perfect place to rest at the end of a long day. Here, you'll also find the main bathroom. Finished with an opulent bathroom suite and Spanish styled flooring. It perfectly encapsulates the blend of modern fixtures with clever nods to the property’s Georgian heritage.

Downstairs, it's time to make your way to the kitchen. Featuring its original flagstone floor, it comes equipped with a mixed-fuel Rangemaster oven, a vast array of cupboard and worktop space, all of which provide the perfect ingredients for this culinary hub.

As you move though the kitchen, you enter the former coach house and saddlery. Consisting of a utility room with butler sink, plumbing for appliances and side access to the rear courtyard, you'll also find a sizeable plant room that houses the central heating system and a huge amount of storage for the ground floor. Upstairs, you'll find another double bedroom, complete with its own ensuite. Perfect for guest accommodation, or as a teenager’s den, the coach house section of the property provides a plethora of options to fit the new owners’ needs.

If the internal space isn’t enough, it’s time to head outside to look around another key feature of Eden House: its grounds and outside spaces.

Starting from the main gate, the gravelled driveway provides plenty of off-road parking. Flanked by formal lawned areas, it snakes its way around the side of the house and into a beautiful wooded area. Here, tucked away and screened off, you will come across a sheltered store. Currently used to stow away a number of canoes and boats, the space could also be used for a classic car, or raised to provide a covered car port for larger vehicles.

Turning back, to your right sits the woodland garden. Mature and well tended, this area provides a host of colours and smells to enjoy, as you meander through the small pathways that criss-cross it. Onwards from here, you'll get to the rear terrace, which, secluded and out of sight, offers the perfect setting for summer socialising, alfresco dining and BBQs. If you fancy something a little more intimate, head through the wooden door to the rear courtyard, where you'll find a sheltered BBQ area with access to the utility room and workshop.

Returning to the terrace, take the steps and head up to the rear garden. Almost hidden from view from the house, this well-maintained lawn, edged with established flower beds, backs onto the Lowther Estate deer park. Frequented by a myriad of wildlife, this space is perfect for nature lovers and budding enthusiasts alike.

A viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the unique character and space which Eden House has to offer potential buyers. Contact us today to book in an appointment and avoid missing out on this hidden gem.
