Lads Lodge, Penton, Carlisle, CA6

Lads Lodge is a delightful smallholding, currently run as an equine centre. It comprises of a 2 bedroom cottage with a multitude of stables, outbuildings, yard areas and menage, with around 18.74 acres of land all in a ring fence.

Accommodation

The property is approached via a drive from the road which leads to a parking area for several vehicles at the rear of the cottage. The cottage is entered via a basic porch/storage area, with the rear door leading into the galley style kitchen. The kitchen has fitted units and cupboards and space for a range cooker, dishwasher and washing machine. The kitchen opens into a bright and airy living room with dining room beyond. Each of these areas has the benefit of a log burning stove. A door from the living room leads out into the front garden. The remaining ground floor accommodation consists of two double bedrooms and a bathroom, as well as a hallway with boot and coat storage and door to the rear yard/parking area. The bathroom has tiled walls and a bath with shower over, WC and sink.

The loft space has been converted to two rooms, but cannot be classed as accommodation as the conversion does not comply with current Building Standards.

Outside

The house and steading occupies an area of around 2.27 ac. The buildings closest to the house have various uses including housing the oil fired boiler, workshop, storage, old byre and stables. One of the buildings is currently used as gym and has electric and heating installed. There are several more buildings providing storage and stables. In all there are currently around 15 stables on the steading, with scope to develop more or change their use if required. There is a useful Office building adjacent to the 42m x 22m menage. Electricity and water are connected to most buildings. Solar panels are present on one of the outbuilding roofs. We understand that they are attracting Feed in Tariff and currently net around £1,500 per annum, but this has not been verified.

The land is in a ring fence around the steading and is split into useful paddocks closer to the steading. It totals around 18.74 acres and is of variable quality, but useful grazing land.

Location

Lads Lodge lies about 15 miles north-east of Carlisle and is surrounded by open farmland and gently rolling countryside. Penton is primarily agricultural, with scattered farmhouses rather than a central village core. The area is quiet and sparsely populated, with limited local services, and residents typically rely on Carlisle for shops, schools, and transport links. The nearby A7 road provides access south to Carlisle and north towards Langholm in Dumfries and Galloway.
