Christmas Cottage, Stainton, Penrith, Cumbria
Cottage
Nestled within the ever popular village of Stainton is this rather special property. Following extensive renovations by the previous owner, this delightful, traditional terraced cottage oozes charm and character whilst benefitting from modern facilities and comforts. Having three bedrooms, one with an ensuite WC, beautiful accommodation throughout and gardens that are deceptive in size, don't miss out on this gem!
This is a property with much more than meets the eye...After undergoing an extensive refurbishment, the current owners have enjoyed adding further upgrades, including the sun room and replacing the front door and front aspect windows, so that the property offers peace and tranquility whilst being in the heart of the village. The work completed on the property has been carried out to exacting standards and it is lovely to see traditional touches dotted throughout the property, complementing the age of the cottage, including wooden latch doors, beams and of course, the fabulous range that would have been the hub of the kitchen over the years (not currently in use).
The accommodation comprises an entrance landing leading to both floors, a welcoming living room, kitchen with dining facilities, sun room, three bedrooms and a family shower room. The internal accommodation is further complemented by the cottage garden to the rear which is an attractive combination of lawn, flagged patio, established floral borders and low maintenance gravelled areas, set within a walled boundary. A private parking space lies to the end of the terrace with a right of way over the gardens of the neighbouring properties to the rear of Christmas Cottage.
Stainton is a popular village conveniently located approx. 2.5 miles west of Penrith, within five minutes of J40 of the M6, close to the Lake District National Park and within only a 15 minute drive to Ullswater. The village itself provides a primary school, hotel, traditional inn, post office, chapel and village hall. There is also an hourly, daily bus service between the village, Penrith and Keswick. Penrith caters well for everyday needs with secondary schools, varied shops, supermarkets, banks, cinema, castle and park, bus and main line railway stations and a good selection of sports/leisure facilities.
