A lovely, mature detached 3 double-bedroomed property, Bank House was in built nineteen hundred and eight to house the Howard Estate blacksmith, incorporating an attached 2 double-bedroomed self-contained cottage(formerly the smithy) which can be used as a holiday let, AST or for a relative. The cottage heating/hot water can be isolated from the main house as can the electricity, with the choice of a card meter. The main house has two single garages, ample forecourt parking and a large side garden with mature fruit trees. The whole property is well insulated and totally double glazed (Fensa certificates) and has been competely rewired/replumbed/refurbished last year to the highest standards by a reputable local company. New kitchens and bathrooms installed in house and cottage, house kitchen with underfloor heating. The entire property has been carpeted and redecorated throughout. All top of the range fittings and appliances are guaranteed as is all work by local company. The property has a wood pellet burning boiler installed (in its own boiler room behind the garages) for heating and hot water, this is extremely efficient as well as being a 'green' renewable form of heating and is carbon neutral, very popular in Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Scandanavia and is rapidly becoming popular in Britain. It is worth noting that this form of heating has chosen by Prince William for his new 'green' home. It burns small wood pellets which are readily available at only five percent vat. The boiler is also under guarantee. The property is in the quiet village of Newbiggin, 4 miles west of the market town of Penrith and the M6. It lies on the fringe of the Lake District National Park, 5 miles from Ullswater, 7 miles from the Blencathra mountain range and 14 miles from Keswick and is ideally situated for the quiet life, yet convenient for motorways and main line rail station. There is a friendly pub which does good food half a mile away and a convenience shop/post office two miles. The milkman delivers milk, eggs, newspapers etc. daily. Also, there is an option to purchase a piece of land, about half an acre, to the rear of the property which I am advised, when turned into a nice garden will enhance the value of the property by about twice as much as what the farmer wants for the land. We have had the property valued by every estate agent in Penrith and the mean average of their valuations is what we are asking here.
