The Old Vicarage A magnificent country house set in idyllic grounds with panoramic views

T

he Old Vicarage is a magnificent Victorian country house, in an idyllic elevated Eden Valley setting, with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and distant Lakeland fells. This impressive 5 bedroom residence has beautiful one acre grounds, four acres of land plus a one bedroom cottage, presently let as self catering accommodation. The property is located on the edge of the picturesque village of Ainstable, within easy reach of Penrith, Carlisle and national transport links.

This residence was built in 1855 as the vicarage for the neighbouring church, with the North West Wing added around 1900. The current owners have refurbished the property to a very high standard, including rewiring, re-roofing, installing double glazing and super insulating the walls and floors. Stunning period features have been retained and many of the rooms are of grand proportions and bathed in light. Bi-folding doors allow for open plan living on the ground floor and French doors extend the space out onto the South facing patio - ideal for when entertaining.

This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a magnificent family home in a remarkable setting, with the added benefit of income from the holiday let. The Coach House cottage is beautifully presented and would also be well suited as accommodation for extended family.
