49a Wordsworth Street, Penrith, Cumbria

Situated within easy walking distance of the town centre, in the New Streets Conservation Area, a well presented, mid-terrace townhouse, built in local sandstone providing flexible family accommodation over 4 floors with 3 reception rooms, 5/6 bedrooms, 3 baths and enclosed garden to rear.

Perfect for a growing family, this impressive sandstone 4 storey townhouse is ideally positioned close to the town centre’s facilities and amenities, with convenient access to The Beacon and Penrith Golf Club. Set within one of the most desirable areas of the “New Streets” conservation district, the property offers a wonderful opportunity to acquire a characterful home boasting a wealth of original features.

A front vestibule opens into the formal entrance hallway, showcasing marble flooring along with original plasterwork and wood detailing. From here, you can access the two principal reception rooms and the well-appointed rear kitchen, which includes several integrated appliances—dishwasher, fridge, freezer—and a Quooker tap.

French doors from the kitchen lead out to the rear garden elevated decking area, which has far reaching views across the town to the Lake District Fells, and a staircase descends to the basement level.

The converted basement, which also has its own separate front and rear entrances, provides excellent additional living space. It includes a family room (or optional extra bedroom), a double bedroom, shower room, and utility room. This level is ideal for teenagers or a dependent relative, and with minor alterations—such as converting the utility into a kitchen—it could become a self-contained flat with potential for rental income.

From the main entrance hallway, a return staircase leads to the first floor, where you will find the family bathroom and the main and second bedrooms. The master bedroom features a four-piece ensuite. A further staircase from the first-floor landing rises to the top floor, which accommodates two additional double bedrooms.

Outside, the rear of the property offers a landscaped, low-maintenance garden with pedestrian access via a right of way from Lowther Street, and a raised decked seating area located just off the kitchen.

Homes in this location are always in high demand, and viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate.
