Breathtaking Lakeland views towards Blencathra and Mell Fell and the dramatic backdrop of Gowbarrow Fell make Dale View on Ulcat Row an exceptional find for those seeking an peaceful lifestyle in the heart of the Lake District National Park.

This spacious detached family home welcomes you with the kitchen/diner being at the heart of the home, while a practical utility room and ground floor shower room add valuable space. The ground floor is completed by a hallway with a curved feature staircase and a large lounge. On the first floor there are three generous double bedrooms, ensuring comfortable accommodation for growing families and a family bathroom. While some cosmetic updating would enhance the property's appeal, the fundamentals are all in place.

The real magic happens when you step outside. Dale View sits on its own private drive with garden space stretching across the front. The rear terrcace becomes the star of the show, where those magnificent open countryside views unfold daily. There is a private driveway with ample off-road parking providing access into the garage. The entire setting captures an unrivaled sense of space and freedom.

Perhaps most exciting of all, a separate paddock of approximately eight and a half acres becomes available through separate negotiation, opening up possibilities for those with equestrian interests or small holding aspirations. The property operates under an agricultural & forestry restriction, meaning new owners must demonstrate local agricultural or forestry credentials as their main employment. (See below for more details)

The location strikes that perfect balance between rural tranquility and practical accessibility. Positioned close to Dockray and Matterdale within the Lake District National Park, families find themselves minutes from the shores of Ullswater and the charming villages of Watermillock and Glenridding. Numerous walking opportunities begin right from the doorstep, while the market town of Penrith remains easily accessible, bringing schools, shopping, restaurants and excellent transport connections within comfortable reach.

This represents a rare opportunity to secure a detached family home in one of England's most beautiful National Parks, complete with the potential for additional land and those ever-present mountain and countryside views. Ideal for those seeking that special combination of space, location and lifestyle potential.

An early viewing will reveal why properties like this rarely remain available for long in such a coveted corner of Cumbria.
