Description
Located in the heart of the Lakeland village of Gosforth, Blengfell is a spacious and beautifully maintained 5 bedroom detached home, currently set up with 3 bedrooms in the main house and an adjoining self-contained annex. The annex offers flexibility to be used as a one bedroom with own lounge and kitchen facilities, or could be incorporated into the main house to provide a further 2 bedrooms.
This rare offering provides a superb opportunity for families seeking flexible living space, with the added benefit of holiday letting potential. The annex can be fully integrated with the main house or accessed independently, making it ideal for a dependent relative, guest accommodation, or income generation. The main house has also recently operated as a successful holiday let, highlighting the area’s strong demand for short-stay accommodation close to the Western Lake District.
The property is presented in excellent condition throughout. The ground floor includes a welcoming hallway, a bright dual aspect lounge with patio doors to the rear garden, and a separate dining room accessed from both the hallway and lounge. A modern kitchen with freestanding wood-burning stove connects to the annex, and there is also a ground floor WC. Upstairs, the main house offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, a contemporary family bathroom and a separate WC. The annex includes its own kitchen (which could serve as a utility if the spaces were combined), internal access to the garage, and stairs to a private lounge, double bedroom, and shower room. It has its own private entrance and outdoor space, making it entirely self-contained if required.
Externally, the property occupies a generous plot with wraparound gardens, a private driveway for multiple vehicles, and an integral garage. The rear garden is mainly lawned and features a timber outbuilding and a sectioned area offering private outdoor space for the annex. Blengfell is offered chain-free and is ideally suited to buyers looking for a substantial family home with space to grow, work, or earn additional income. This is a rare opportunity in a vibrant village setting, just minutes from Wasdale, Wastwater and the Lake District fells, and within easy reach of key employment centres such as Sellafield and West Lakes Science Park.
