Hackthorpe, Lowther, CA10

A rare opportunity to enjoy relaxed, single-storey living in a truly rewarding corner of Cumbria, this two bedroom detached bungalow offers a comfortable, well-considered home within easy reach of some of the region's most celebrated countryside and excellent everyday amenities.

Inside, the layout has been thoughtfully arranged to make the most of the available space. The kitchen/diner forms a natural hub of the home — a practical, sociable room where meals can be prepared and enjoyed together, with everything close to hand. It comes fully fitted with a suite of BOSCH appliances, including oven, hob and extractor, dishwasher, and two floor-level fitted fridge-freezers, so the new owner can simply move in and start cooking. The sitting room provides a welcoming retreat from the day, offering a relaxed space to unwind or gather with family and friends. Two bedrooms give flexibility for a couple, a small family, or those looking to accommodate guests with ease, while a family bathroom completes the internal accommodation in a neat and functional arrangement.

The home is heated by an air source heat pump feeding underfloor heating throughout — an efficient, modern system that keeps every room evenly warm without a radiator in sight, and one that increasingly matters to buyers thinking about running costs. Throughout, the bungalow carries an accessible, easy-living quality that makes it genuinely appealing — whether as a first home, a comfortable downsize, or a lifestyle move to the Eden Valley.

There is scope for more, too. The loft is fully floored and readily accessible, and because it is an entirely open space with no roof timbers in the way, it presents a clear opportunity for conversion, subject to the necessary consents, should additional accommodation be wanted in the future.

To the rear, an enclosed garden offers real privacy and a proper sense of outdoor space. Whether you have children, a dog, or simply the desire for somewhere quiet to sit on a summer's evening, the garden provides a sheltered setting that feels genuinely usable throughout the year. Off road parking to the front adds an everyday practicality that quickly becomes something of a luxury, removing the stress of finding a space at the end of a long day.

The location is one of the bungalow's most appealing qualities. Sitting close to Lowther Castle — one of Cumbria's most cherished historic landmarks, set within expansive parklands and gardens that draw visitors from across the country — the property enjoys a setting that balances countryside character with genuine convenience. Penrith itself is close by, bringing with it a full range of independent shops, supermarkets, schools, cafes and community life that makes it one of the most liveable market towns in the north of England. The Eden Valley unfolds in every direction, offering walks, cycling routes and an unhurried way of life that is increasingly hard to find.

For those who need to travel for work or leisure, the connectivity here is quietly impressive. The M6 motorway is readily accessible, placing the Lake District, the Scottish borders, Manchester and beyond all within practical reach. Rail links from Penrith further extend the options, making this a location that suits both those who work locally and those who commute further afield.

David Britton Estates would be delighted to arrange a viewing and show prospective buyers everything this welcoming home and its surroundings have to offer. Properties of this kind, in a setting this appealing, deserve to be seen in person — and we look forward to helping you do exactly that.
