Laithes, Penrith, CA11
House
A delightful four-bedroom detached home, beautifully presented throughout and offering deceptively spacious and versatile accommodation, complemented by wonderful landscaped gardens, ample parking and a detached workshop garage.
Having been a much-loved home for the current owners, this charming residence successfully combines character features with modern comforts, creating a property that caters exceptionally well to contemporary family life. Offering flexible accommodation that could suit a variety of lifestyles, including multi-generational living, the property enjoys a unique appearance, presenting itself very differently from the front and rear elevations, and must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
Entering from the rear, a stylish and highly practical utility/boot room provides the perfect everyday entrance. Fitted with an excellent range of wall, base and full-height units, together with a ceramic sink and drainer, wall-mounted boiler housed within cabinetry, and space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer, the room offers ample storage for coats, footwear and household essentials.
A doorway leads through to the hallway, which provides access to both the kitchen and living room. The living room is a particularly impressive space, flooded with natural light thanks to its vaulted and beamed ceiling and Velux roof window. A multi-fuel stove set within an attractive wooden fireplace surround creates a warm focal point, whilst patio doors open directly onto the gravelled garden, seamlessly connecting the indoor and outdoor spaces. An inner hallway leads from the living room and provides useful storage and hanging space, together with access to a contemporary shower room and what is currently utilised as the principal bedroom. Positioned to the rear aspect, this comfortable double bedroom benefits from fitted storage, whilst the shower room has been thoughtfully designed in a modern wet-room style and incorporates a shower area, WC, wash hand basin and underfloor heating.
A small flight of steps leads up to the beautifully appointed kitchen, fitted in recent years by the current owners. The shaker-style cabinetry is complemented by quality work surfaces and incorporates a ceramic sink with drainer and Zip Tap hot water facilities, together with an integrated dishwasher. A freestanding Belling range cooker sits neatly within a sandstone-edged recess, creating a charming focal point, whilst space is available for a tall fridge freezer.
The kitchen flows through to the spacious dining room, a wonderfully versatile room that forms the heart of the home. A wood-burning stove set within an attractive stone fireplace creates a cosy seating area, while twin rear-facing windows allow plenty of natural light to fill the room. A useful understairs pantry provides additional storage, whilst stairs rise to the first floor and an external door leads to the front of the property. The dining room also provides access to a further ground-floor room, currently utilised as Bedroom Four, which could equally serve as a snug, home office, hobby room or playroom depending on individual requirements.
To the first floor, the landing leads to two further double bedrooms, both enjoying pleasant views over the gardens and surrounding countryside beyond. The family bathroom is beautifully appointed and fitted with a four-piece suite comprising WC, wash hand basin, separate shower enclosure with electric shower, and a delightful claw-foot bath. Stylish panelling and carefully chosen finishes enhance the property's charming cottage character.
Externally, the property continues to impress. Positioned to the side and rear, the beautifully landscaped gardens provide a wonderful extension to the living accommodation. A gravelled parking area offers space for approximately three vehicles and is complemented by a detached workshop garage.
The gardens themselves have been thoughtfully designed and lovingly maintained, featuring extensive lawns, established flower beds, raised planters, mature shrubs and specimen trees. Further additions include a greenhouse, garden shed, flagged patio and excellent storage beneath the elevated decked veranda.
Taking full advantage of the property's elevated position, the decked veranda and gravelled seating areas provide ideal spaces for al fresco dining, entertaining and family barbecues, all while enjoying the attractive garden outlook.
In summary, this charming detached home offers a superb combination of character, flexibility and practicality. Enhanced by its beautiful gardens and peaceful village setting, yet conveniently positioned for access to neighbouring amenities, it presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a home capable of adapting to a wide variety of lifestyles.
