Description

Located in a quiet rural area with open views, to the fringe of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, easily accessible to Penrith and historic Appleby, a well presented, detached, 4 bedroom bungalow, with flexible living space, adjacent barn/workshop and land in all circa 2.5 acres.

Set in a peaceful rural location, Heronwood enjoys an open aspect to the front, with fields stretching down to the River Eden and far-reaching views towards the Pennines, and is a superb opportunity to acquire an equestrian lifestyle property in a highly sought-after area.

Ideally positioned, the property is within easy reach of the market towns of Appleby-in-Westmorland and Kirkby Stephen, and conveniently located for Penrith and the M6. The charming Eden Valley village of Warcop is within walking distance and offers a well-regarded primary school. Both Appleby and Kirkby Stephen, approximately five miles away, provide excellent secondary schooling, including grammar schools served by a school bus network.

With locally sourced stone for the walls and facing of the front elevations, the property offers spacious and well-maintained accommodation, centred around an inviting entrance hallway. To the front, a triple-aspect living room and a kitchen/dining room, which are perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the outstanding views.

There are four well-proportioned bedrooms, two with built in wardrobes, and a four-piece family bathroom with underfloor hearing, complemented by a utility room and an attached garage.

The loft space has been fully boarded, providing useful additional storage.

Externally, the property benefits from ample parking to the front, along with well-stocked gardens to the side and rear, with a greenhouse installed in 2021, creating an attractive and private setting.

Adjacent to the house is a substantial barn/workshop, with mains water and power, extending to approximately 3,500 sq. ft, recently re-roofed, with updated electrics, and offering excellent versatility for a wide range of uses.

The land includes an enclosed field to the front of the property and a further field to the rear (please refer to the plan for full details). Each field has mains supplied water troughs and there is an additional concrete parking area adjacent to the bottom field.

Opportunities to acquire such a complete rural package are rare, and early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that Heronwood has to offer.

Directions
From Penrith join the A66 heading east in the direction of Scotch Corner. Continue for 18 miles and then turn right signposted Sandford. At the bottom of this road go under the bridge and follow the road round to the left signposted Warcop. On entering Warcop go past the school along a straight section of road and keep right, go past the telephone box over the small bridge and turn immediately right at the war memorial towards Bleatarn. Follow the road right through the village then drop down at the small hill then cross over a stone bridge, and take the lane to the right hand side. Go through the gate over the cattle grid and the house is on the left hand side.
