4 bed detached house for sale

Lower Carhullan, Askham, Penrith CA10

Accommodation


Internally, the accommodation has been thoughtfully designed to maximise both space and natural light, while retaining the integrity of the original structure. A striking curved staircase rises to a galleried landing, where exposed stonework and architectural detailing create a strong sense of place and history.

The principal living space is centred around a superb open-plan kitchen and dining area, perfectly suited to both everyday living and entertaining. The bespoke shaker style kitchen is beautifully appointed with granite work surfaces and a comprehensive range of integrated appliances, including an electric aga, induction hob, two ovens, Quooker tap, fridge freezer and twin dishwashers. This space flows seamlessly into a generous yet inviting sitting room, where a woodburning stove forms a natural focal point and glazed doors open onto the courtyard, framing the surrounding landscape.

Underfloor heating extends throughout the property, enhancing comfort. A well positioned ground floor shower room provides practicality for country living. Supporting spaces include a substantial utility room, finished to the same high specification as the kitchen, incorporating a washing machine, tumble dryer and additional freezer. There is a generous boot/plant room, ideal for outdoor pursuits and storage.

The first floor hosts three beautifully presented double bedrooms, each benefitting from its own luxurious en-suite facilities. The principal suite is particularly impressive, featuring charming low-set windows capturing dual-aspect views, along with a private balcony from which to enjoy the sunsets. The remaining bedrooms are equally well-proportioned and finished to a consistently high standard, offering both comfort and privacy for family or guests.
Detached annex


Enhancing the versatility of the property is a detached, single-storey annex, providing additional living accommodation. It comprises a generous bedroom, living space, and a well-equipped kitchen with electric oven, combination oven, induction hob, dishwasher and a washer/dryer, along with a high-quality bathroom. The kitchen/living area also benefits from an Esse woodburner/cooker, creating a warm and inviting environment.

This additional space is ideally suited for multi-generational living or guest accommodation.
Gardens and land


Externally, the property is equally impressive, with extensive parking and a superb raised decked area, currently arranged for outdoor dining and featuring a hot tub and a Chesney outdoor heater/cooker, perfect for entertaining, while enjoying the exceptional panoramic views across the surrounding landscape and the property’s own land.

The adjoining paddock, extending to approximately three acres, represents a significant lifestyle asset and greatly enhances the versatility of the property. Well positioned to take full advantage of the surrounding landscape, it offers excellent potential for equestrian use, hobby farming, or smallholding pursuits. Whether utilised for grazing, the creation of private paddocks, or the addition of stabling (subject to the necessary consents), the land provides a rare opportunity to enjoy a truly rural way of life within this spectacular National Park setting.
