Description
Situated in the heart of the pretty village of Skeleton, just outside Penrith, this stunning modernised upgraded and newly decorated traditional Cumbrian longhouse offers spacious accommodation and timeless charm.
The property is entered via a welcoming entrance vestibule that opens to a flowing ground-floor layout designed for modern family living. The kitchen-diner features a beautiful stone fireplace and a wood-burning stove, providing a cosy focal point and a superb space for entertaining or family meals. Adjacent dining room and a comfortable living room with a multi-fuel stove and doors to the garden extend the living space for both everyday life and special occasions. A large utility room with a WC adds practical convenience and storage.
Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms, two of which boast indulgent ensuite bathrooms, showcase exposed beams and handsome stonework that celebrate the cottage’s heritage while delivering contemporary comfort. A well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. The blend of traditional character with modern fittings offers a versatile and restful retreat.
Externally, the home enjoys a gravel based driveway and formal lawns, with a garage and parking for several vehicles. The setting is enhanced by the village’s appealing amenities, including a local primary school and the renowned Dog and Gun Michelin-starred restaurant at the heart of the community.
For commuters and explorers, Penrith is approximately six miles away, providing convenient access to broader services and transport links while preserving a peaceful semi-rural ambiance.
This remarkable Cumbrian longhouse combines architectural elegance, practical living space, and a highly desirable location, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home that exudes character and warmth, with room to grow.
