Cuthbert House and The Bungalow, Glenridding, Penrith, Cumbria, CA11 0QQ

Two properties. Endless possibilities. Exceptional Lake District living.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Glenridding, with spectacular lake and fell views, Cuthbert House and The Bungalow is a truly rare opportunity to acquire not one, but two beautifully positioned homes in one of the Lake District's most sought-after villages.

Cuthbert House, a characterful four-bedroom Lakeland slate home, sits alongside The Bungalow, a self-contained two-bedroom property with private garden and parking, creating an incredibly versatile package ideal for multi-generational living, a permanent residence with income potential, holiday letting, or a peaceful second home in the Lakes.

Nestled on the shores of Ullswater, Glenridding perfectly balances vibrant lakeside life with peaceful rural charm. Surrounded by dramatic fells, flowing streams, and some of the Lake District's most iconic scenery, the village offers year-round appeal for residents and visitors alike.

Cuthbert House

This handsome four-bedroom semi-detached Lakeland slate house enjoys beautiful views towards the lake and surrounding fells; scenery you'll never tire of waking up to. Inside, the home combines warmth, character, and practicality throughout, creating a welcoming retreat in the heart of the Lakes.

The bright and welcoming sun room provides the perfect place to relax while taking in the ever-changing landscape beyond. The spacious dining room offers a wonderful setting for entertaining family and friends, with large windows framing beautiful views and filling the room with natural light. After a day exploring the surrounding fells, the cosy living room provides a peaceful place to unwind, while the charming sitting room, complete with a wood-burning stove set upon a stone hearth, creates a warm and inviting atmosphere during the colder months.

The well-equipped kitchen benefits an adjoining utility area, offering practical storage and workspace suited to modern family living. Upstairs, all four bedrooms are generously proportioned doubles, many enjoying breathtaking outlooks across the lake, gardens, river, and surrounding fells. Bedroom two is particularly impressive, benefitting from stunning dual-aspect views that truly showcase the beauty of the surrounding landscape. A useful cellar provides excellent additional storage space.

Outside, the private garden is bordered by mature shrubs and trees, creating a peaceful outdoor sanctuary that attracts an abundance of local wildlife and offers the perfect place to sit back and appreciate the tranquillity of the setting.

The Bungalow

Positioned adjacent to Cuthbert House, The Bungalow offers superb additional accommodation with its own private garden and off-road parking, making it ideal as a holiday let, guest accommodation, independent family living space, or a long-term rental investment.

The bright dual-aspect living room feels both cosy and spacious, featuring useful alcove shelving and a multi-fuel stove within an attractive surround. The spacious breakfast kitchen enjoys lovely views over the rear garden and surrounding fells while offering ample storage and workspace.

Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles, ideal for family members or visiting guests, while the large loft area benefits from power, lighting, and partial boarding, providing highly practical additional storage space.

To the rear, the peaceful garden overlooks the nearby river and surrounding fells, creating a wonderfully private and tranquil setting. Off-road parking and two external stores add further convenience and practicality.
