Description

Rakestraws Cottage is a fine period cottage dating back to the 18th Century with later additions. The current owners have completed quite extensive works to the property with the most recent being the addition of the utility room, WC and upstairs dressing room with en-suite. The property is a mix of contemporary and traditional living.

The property is approached by a private lane that is shared with the neighbouring property. There is ample parking and access to the property is by the front door located on the lane or the side entrance that welcomes you in to the spacious utility room with downstairs WC. From there a door takes you into a sitting room with exposed painted stone wall, exposed beams and window seat. A few steps down lead you to the heart of the house, the kitchen/diner with low ceilings and exposed beams, this is a very cosy but also modern room with range cooker and under floor heating encased under slate flooring. The lounge follows on from the kitchen and this room is a wealth of character with exposed stone to the walls and beams to the ceiling and features a large fireplace with wood burning stove. The window sills are deep and show the traditional thickness of the walls. A staircase takes you from this room up to the second floor where there are three bedrooms, the master having a dressing room and en-suite and a further family bathroom. To the outside is a lovely garden area with terrace decking and a good size shed for storage.

Penruddock is a very popular village as it is within easy access to Penrith and the M6 and also Keswick and the Western Fells. The village is able to boast a Primary School, Village Hall, church and local Public House. There is a bus service that travels from Penrith to Keswick, stopping off in the village. Penruddock is also central for Keswick Secondary School and Queen Elizabeth Grammer School and Ullswater Community College in Penrith.

Edwin Thompson thoroughly recommends internal viewing of this property to appreciate its charm and features.
