Langwathby, Penrith, CA10

Nestled within a charming, well served village, this beautifully transformed former farmhouse and granary blends rustic heritage with modern family living. With five to six spacious bedrooms, this substantial residence is a harmonious fusion of traditional character and contemporary design.

From the moment you step into the welcoming entrance hall, you’re led through versatile spaces that include two elegant reception rooms, a spacious utility, and a pantry that rivals the size of some kitchens. A thoughtfully designed kitchen, complete with Aga, flows seamlessly into a beautiful dining area and a sunroom flooded with natural light, perfect for relaxed gatherings, combining to make for a wonderful 'hub of the home'. Also on the ground floor, there is a further room that could serve as an office, additional bedroom, or flexible reception space, while a convenient cloakroom/WC completes the layout.

To the first floor, there are five double bedrooms, two of which are currently used as dressing rooms. The principal suite is a true retreat, featuring a luxurious ensuite shower room with a private dressing area, and access to a unique "posh loft" eaves room, ideal for extra storage or creative use.

Outdoors, this property doesn’t disappoint. A detached double garage with an electric roller door provides both vehicle and pedestrian access to the garden. The beautifully landscaped gardens feature original stone steps from the former granary, which create a quaint spot for discreet storage beneath. The spacious gardens enjoy mature beds, lawn, potting shed, and summer house, and offer tranquil spaces for outdoor enjoyment. This home is an exquisite blend of character and functionality, perfect for modern family life, and set in a highly desirable village location.
