3 bedroom detached house for sale

Occupying a vast plot within the Great Salkeld conservation area, and now in need of extensive renovation is the handsome Mattinson House. Undoubtedly a charming property in its time, this period cottage forms part of a substantial site which includes two very large units, one of which is a more modern building (previously used as a workshop) and the other being of timber and block construction. These are coupled with a paddock extending to circa. 2 acres.With the two buildings formerly housing a successful woodwork and joinery business, they now offer a superb degree of scope, with the workshop lending itself to a variety of purposes, and having direct access out onto the paddock.Those looking to acquire a site which would offer them the opportunity to accommodate a business, small holding and a more self-sufficient lifestyle would certainly benefit from a visit and with many attributes consistent with its period of construction, Mattinson House itself is ripe for a sympathetic renovation and restoration which would make for an excellent home within a delightful setting.



Great Salkeld lies in the heart of the Eden valley within easy commuting distance of Penrith (approx. 5 miles) and Carlisle (approx. 17 miles) and situated in panoramic landscape between the Pennines to the east and the Lake District National Park to the west, with the M6 being easily accessible at Junctions 40 and 41.

The garden of the dwellinghouse is largely walled and has a great deal of potential as does the property itself.
