Cross House, Newby, Penrith, Cumbria

A rare opportunity to acquire a traditional former farmhouse, set in a peaceful village setting and offered for the first time in over 100 years. With four bedrooms, generous gardens, former orchard and ample parking, the property offers excellent scope for modernisation.

Set within a peaceful rural setting in this popular village to the south of Penrith, a traditional former farmhouse occupying a generous and well-proportioned plot, with easy access to Morland with its thriving community, the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District National Park via Askham and the Ullswater Valley. Offered to the market for the first time in over 100 years, it presents a rare opportunity to acquire a traditional country property with a long-established family history.

Much loved and occupied by the same family for generations, the property retains considerable charm and character, with well-proportioned accommodation arranged in a traditional double-fronted format. Whilst now requiring updating and modernisation, it offers excellent scope for a new owner to improve and personalise the house to their own requirements, with the price reflecting its current condition. Prospective purchasers intending to use mortgage finance are advised to seek appropriate professional advice regarding the property's condition and suitability for their chosen lender prior to proceeding.

The ground floor accommodation comprises a spacious living room and separate sitting room to the front, with a dining kitchen, useful utility room and shower/wet room to the rear. To the first floor are four bedrooms and a family bathroom, providing flexible accommodation with considerable potential for improvement.

There is also useful cellar storage, together with a separate, outside, stone-built store room.

Outside, a traditional forecourt garden lies to the front, whilst to the rear there is ample off-road parking and a carport. To one side, an area of former orchard will form part of the property, providing an attractive additional area of garden with scope for landscaping or reinstatement as an orchard.

With its peaceful rural setting, generous plot, traditional character and exceptional family history, this is a property with considerable potential to create a very appealing country home, whilst remaining conveniently placed for Penrith, the Eden Valley and the Lake District.
