Description

15 Rayrigg rise is a unique detached house, individually built in the 1970s and cherished by the same family ever since. Occupying a prime position within the Lake District National Park, this spacious property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home that has never before been offered to the open market. Whilst the property has been lovingly maintained throughout its ownership, it would now benefit from a programme of modernisation and renovation, presenting an exciting opportunity for buyers to create a superb family home tailored entirely to their own tastes and requirements. Homes with this combination of location, generous plot and untapped potential rarely become available. The accommodation is currently arranged as a spacious two-bedroom true house comprising a large sitting/dining room, kitchen, bathroom and a self-contained studio with separate access, kitchenette and shower room.
