Calthwaite Hall Lodge, Calthwaite, Penrith, CA11 9QU

Calthwaite Hall Lodge is a handsome Victorian lodge house built in warm local red sandstone beneath a slate roof. The datestone above the entrance reads 1906.

Its character details include decorative red-painted bargeboards on the gable, a turret-style roof feature, sash windows with stone surrounds, a canopied porch and a bay window.

The house offers a generous amount of internal living space, with four bedrooms, and sits within a range of traditional outbuildings, a cobbled courtyard and an enclosed walled garden.

It needs renovation, so it is a rare chance for a buyer to put their own stamp on a period home with a lot of potential.
