The Hollies, , Penrith, Cumbria
Detached House
The Hollies, formerly the village post office, sits at the heart of the village of Penruddock. The property itself, consists of generously sized accommodation throughout and boasts a substantial living room and equally well sized kitchen along with two additional reception rooms, rear conservatory and separate coal shed that could be incorporated back into the house if needed. To the first floor there is a good sized landing leading to the family bathroom and four double bedrooms of which the triple aspect master bedroom enjoys a similar footprint to the living room below.
Externally the property is slightly set back from the road and has a generous side garden which was previously used as a vegetable garden but now houses an array of wild plants. Surrounding this, and following the boundary wall, is a continuous flowerbed which is stocked with mature shrubs, plants and roses. To the rear of the property is a raised lawned area that borders a field and provides access to the rear conservatory. To the other side of the property is a driveway which provides three off street parking spaces, a wooden garage and access to the coal store.
While this property is a renovation project, it offers a great deal of potential when complete.

Follow the road into the village, passing the Bird's Bistro until you get to the "main road". The Hollies is located on your left before you reach the school and is identified by the red postbox outside.
