Inside

A well-presented Victorian vicarage with five ensuite bedrooms, a three bedroom annex, detached coach house and extensive grounds, located in the highly desirable Lorton Valley. This Lake District residence is a peaceful retreat, surrounded by open countryside and Lakeland fells and is within easy reach of the market town of Cockermouth and the A66. The Old Vicarage is approached via a quiet country lane, leading to the gated in and out driveway, with large gravel parking area. From the entrance porch you are welcomed into the atmospheric entrance hall, with original pitch pine staircase and doors. Off the entrance hall is a spacious dining room with multi fuel stove and an elegant, light filled sitting room with open fire and original box bay windows with seating to enjoy the garden views. The third reception room is presently used as a study and has an ensuite bathroom with shower over bath. An inner lobby leads into the kitchen with bespoke Mark Wilkinson maple wood cabinetry, granite worktop and high end appliances, including a professional Miele dishwasher and Britannia 6 burner range cooker. The ground floor of the main house is completed by a utility room, laundry and rear hallway with doors to garden and the annex. The main stairwell leads to the first floor landing, with original feature windows. Off the landing are five beautifully presented bedrooms, all having ensuite shower rooms, with one having a slipper bath. There is an additional house bathroom on this floor with roll top bath, a walk-in laundry cupboard and access to a large partially boarded loft. The Old Vicarage has a great deal of charm and character and also has income potential, presently some of the bedrooms are used as Bed & Breakfast accommodation for part of the year. The Coach House has a range of potential uses. It should be noted that the dwelling can only be used as a permanent residence.
