Orton, Penrith, Cumbria, CA10

OVERVIEW

With character and period features throughout, this charming three level cottage really must be viewed to be appreciated. An eye for detail is evident in every room, with bespoke carpentry, retained window seats, white washed stonework walls and a unique staircase, all creating a wonderful home. The lounge and dining room are offset making it a great sociable space and the kitchen has bespoke pine units and worktops. There are four bedrooms over the first and second floors with bathroom facilities on each floor plus a study space with access to the raised terrace at the rear. Once outside the property continues to have more than expected. The integral garage has an extra store plus utility and WC and there is an upper garden area with lovely view to the church.

ACCOMMODATION

Entering the cottage style front door, a handy porch has space for coats and shoes and a contemporary part glazed oak door leads into the dining area. Being semi open plan to the lounge, this generous space is ideal for family meals, relaxation, studies and is the real heart of the home. White washed stone walls with alcove shelving add charm and there is a cosy woodburner in the lounge area. A bespoke 'serving hatch' to the kitchen is a unique feature and there is a traditional alcove cupboard adjacent to the chimney breast. A characterful door leads to the kitchen. A one-off, the kitchen has a good amount of storage within the handmade pine units and there are matching solid worktops and door to the under stairs cupboard. A pantry at the side provides yet more storage and has stone slab shelves and a flagged floor. Half spiral stairs lead to the first floor.

Once on the first floor, the character and quirks continue with an internal window to the bathroom plus a Jacobs ladder to the second floor - there are also stairs from the study/hobby room. There are two double bedrooms on the first floor, both a good size and having white washed stone work walls and wide floorboards. The bathroom has a three piece suite with shower above the bath, panelling to the walls and a built in cylinder cupboard. The study/hobby room has an external door to the raised terrace at the rear and is a really versatile room, stairs lead into the third bedroom.

The top floor accommodation is within the roof space with each room having a Velux rooflight to maximise light. Ascending the stairs from the study/hobby room, the third bedroom is a good size with a dormer at the rear with lovely view - the perfect place for a comfy chair. White washed stonework adds a sense of calm to the space. The adjoining 'Jack and Jill' shower room can be accessed from both bedrooms on this floor and has a white three piece suite. The fourth bedroom has access to the Jacobs ladder and again has a white washed stonework wall.
