The Old Rectory & Annexe, Clifton, Penrith CA10

A rare and exciting opportunity to purchase a handsome Grade II listed Victorian residence occupying a wonderful position on the edge of the popular village of Clifton with stunning views across Penrith and towards the Pennines. This impressive home sits on a generous plot with well-kept lawned gardens, an “in and out” driveway providing ample parking to the front of the property and additional parking in front of the double garage that boasts an inspection pit, workbench, power and lighting (potential to convert – subject to planning permission). This substantial family home comes with an adjoining two bedroom annexe that could accommodate a dependent relative, provide you with an additional income or be easily connected back to the main house. The main residence oozes grandeur with its spacious rooms, high ceilings and beautiful entrance hall whilst retaining many of its original features that include doors, windows, skirting boards, staircase and fireplaces. The accommodation briefly comprises entrance hall, lounge, study/bedroom, dining room, ground floor shower room, kitchen with pantry and access to the rear hall with doors to the cellar, boot room and utility room. To the first floor is a generous landing with access to four bedrooms and bathroom. With beautiful views from the main reception rooms and bedrooms this property provides everything that you would expect and more. Whilst this property has been well-maintained there is a level of updating required and would suit anyone looking to put their own stamp on a truly remarkable home. Sold with the benefit of no onward chain.
