A seven-bedroom semi-detached house in Grange, Keswick, has been listed for sale at a guide price of £835,000.
According to the listing on Zoopla, The Grange, located in the heart of Grange Village, is a freehold property with three bathrooms and three reception rooms.
The property has a unique history, once being part of a larger hotel, then a guest house, and has been a private residence for several years.
The house, which has been part of the village landscape since the 1870s, is described as a 'very traditional Cumbrian home' by the estate agent.
With its slate frontage and roof, the property is accessed through a white wooden gate, which leads to a gravelled drive area.
The front door opens to a porch with a stone flagged floor, and a part-glazed door leads to the sitting room.
The sitting room features a large floor-to-ceiling window looking out to the south-facing garden and Grange Fell, exposed beams, and an open fireplace with a slate surround and hearth.
Described as "fantastic in size", the dining room has double aspect windows, exposed stone walls, and views of Grange Fell.
A serving hatch connects the dining room to the large kitchen, which houses a four oven aga, ample wall and base units, and a central island.
The kitchen also has double aspect windows that allow plenty of natural light to flood the room.
The large utility room is equipped with a Belfast sink and taps, storage, and a floor-mounted oil boiler.
Seven bedrooms spread across the first and second floors.
The first floor houses three double bedrooms and one single bedroom facing the garden and Grange Fell, while the fourth double bedroom faces Castle Cragg, Maiden Moor, and Catbells.
The second floor has two more bedrooms, one a double and one a large double with an ensuite.
Both rooms offer views of the surrounding local fell ranges.
The property also features ample parking space at the front, which merges into a lawned garden.
The garden is bordered by Lakeland Stone walls and filled with mature hedging, shrubs, plants, and trees.
Views from the garden are described as "spectacular", offering a great spot to enjoy the picturesque surroundings.
The estate agent suggests that the property would benefit from some modernisation and some rooms could be amalgamated to form fewer, but larger rooms.
The property also has a large utility room, and one last door enters an inner hallway where a further reception room can be found, with double aspect windows and exposed beams.
A door gives access to the back lane, and a further door to a WC.
The property is equipped with all main services, with an oil-fired boiler situated in the utility room.
The water tank is located in the cupboard on the half landing to the first floor.
Mobile phone and broadband results have not been tested.
The council tax band is advised to be E, with the rate for 2024/2025 being £2,757.64.
The agent advises that all offers should be made to the Agents, Edwin Thompson Property Services Limited, and viewings are strictly by appointment.
