Glenridding, Penrith, CA11

Description

There are few places in the Lake District where everyday life comes with a view like this. Perched above Glenridding on Greenside Road, Cuthbert House looks out across Ullswater to the fells beyond — a panorama that shifts with the light and the seasons, and one you will never take for granted.

Built of traditional Lakeland slate, this is a house with genuine character and a footprint that surprises. Four separate reception spaces give the home room to breathe: a sun room positioned to make the most of that outlook, a generous dining room flooded with natural light, a comfortable living room for quiet evenings, and a snug sitting room where a wood-burning stove on its stone hearth does the work on winter nights. The kitchen comes with an adjoining utility room, keeping the practicalities of family life neatly out of sight, and a downstairs WC completes the ground floor. Below, a substantial cellar adds storage most Lakeland cottages can only dream of.

Upstairs, every one of the four bedrooms is a proper double. Several look out over the water, the gardens and the river, and the second bedroom enjoys dual-aspect views that stop guests in their tracks.

Outside, mature trees and shrubs wrap the private garden in greenery, drawing in birdlife and giving you somewhere genuinely peaceful to sit with a morning coffee while the village wakes below. Two external stores and driveway parking take care of the practical side of fell-country living.

Glenridding itself needs little introduction — a lakeside village at the foot of Helvellyn with its steamer pier, cafés and inns, alive with walkers in summer and beautifully still out of season. Whether you're looking for a permanent home, a holiday let with proven appeal, or a second home to escape to, Cuthbert House offers the Lake District at its very best, from your own front door.
