Set in the heart of the Lake District, Parcey House and Cottage has some of the national park’s greatest attractions on its doorstep.
A rare opportunity to snap up a slice of Cumbrian countryside will present itself on the 21st May, when Auction House Cumbria puts Parcey House and Cottage of Hartsop under the hammer for a guide price of £475,000 (plus fees).
Property with personality
Tucked into the hillside of a quiet no-through road, Parcey House and Cottage epitomises peaceful countryside living. Built in traditional stone and surrounded by an abundant garden, the property enjoys breathtaking views. To the front, the vista unfolds over Patterdale Valley, while to the rear the outlook rises gently up the hill.
Inside, the Grade II listed property is given warmth and character by its exposed beams and wood and slate floors. The wooden beams are particularly beautiful in the main house’s living and dining rooms, which gain added cosy factor from their built-in fireplaces.
Also on the ground floor is a generous sunroom, perfectly positioned to bask in the light from the surrounding valley. A practical utility room, a kitchen and a rear porch then complete this level’s accommodation. Upstairs are four bedrooms served by two bathrooms – a layout ideally suited to family life.
The adjoining cottage provides a snug living space for a guest or extended family. Accessed via its own private kitchen, the cottage also includes a bathroom on the ground floor and a first-floor bedroom with views over both the front and rear gardens.
Now in need of some TLC and updating, the house and cottage will give a new owner the perfect opportunity to add a touch of their own personality to the existing building’s character.
A stepping stone to outdoor adventure
Adventurers, explorers and wanderers won’t have to travel far to enjoy the best that the Lake District has to offer. The property lies close to the lakes of Brothers Water and Ullswater, which have scenic walks tracing their outlines. It is also within easy reach of the hiking routes climbing High Street fell, Helvellyn mountain and Fairfield fell. Open water swimming, wing foiling and water coursing can also be enjoyed in the national park.
Commenting on the property, Colin West, Director and Auctioneer of Auction House Cumbria, said: “Parcey House and Cottage offers easy access to a playground of outdoor activities and a variety of hikes and trails. Wherever you wander, you can enjoy 360-degree breathtaking views.
“If you want to get yourself away from traffic jams and concrete jungles, take this chance to buy your forever home with scope to put your own stamp on it.”
