The Old Vicarage  A distinguished Grade II listed village residence with three luxury holiday cottages and exceptional private grounds.  Dating back to approximately 1780, The Old Vicarage is a remarkable former vicarage, steeped in local history and occupying an enviable position within one of the area’s most exclusive and picturesque villages. Held by the current owners for the past 25 years, the property has been sympathetically restored and meticulously maintained, blending period authenticity with refined contemporary styling.  This is a genuinely rare opportunity to acquire a substantial historic home with significant ancillary accommodation and an established lifestyle income stream, all within beautifully landscaped grounds.  The village itself carries strong historical significance, with celebrated poet W. H. Auden having famously performed here, adding further cultural heritage to an already distinguished setting.  Over recent years, the property has undergone extensive improvements including a full reroof, chimney reconstruction, comprehensive redecoration and thoughtful interior styling throughout, ensuring the home is presented to an exceptional standard.    Accommodation Entrance Hall & Kitchen Living Spaces Entering through the front door, you are welcomed into a generous entrance hall which immediately sets the tone for the home, showcasing the elegant proportions and period detailing found throughout. To the right is a practical utility and boot room, perfectly suited to country living. Opposite sits a versatile additional reception space, currently utilised as an extension to the kitchen, providing further storage, a large sink area and space for a double fridge freezer. Traditional tiled flooring, wood panelling and original character features continue throughout these spaces. The kitchen itself is beautifully appointed and flooded with natural light via a large feature window overlooking the gardens. Bespoke Birdseye maple cabinetry is paired with black granite work surfaces, while a traditional oil-fired Aga with four ovens, twin hotplates and warming plate forms the centrepiece of the room. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher and fridge, while original working shutters further reinforce the property’s historic charm.   Reception Rooms Beyond the kitchen lies the impressive main hall and entrance porch, creating a wonderful space to welcome guests. Across the hall is the principal lounge, a beautifully styled reception room centred around an open fireplace with bespoke fitted wall cabinetry. Large sash windows with original working shutters frame attractive views across the gardens and provide exceptional natural light. The room offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, equally suited to relaxed evenings or formal entertaining. Leading from the lounge is a generous study, ideal for home working or welcoming clients thanks to its own external access door, allowing business use without disturbing the main residence. A log-burning stove provides additional warmth and character, while large dual-aspect windows enjoy attractive views over the grounds. Accessed from the study is a highly useful storage room, currently utilised in support of the holiday cottage business. To the rear of the property, a long internal corridor provides access to the cellar, a downstairs WC and rear yard access.

Accessed separately via a track running alongside the property, guests can arrive and depart discreetly without impacting the principal home.   Gardens & Grounds The Old Vicarage sits within beautifully maintained mature grounds, offering a high degree of privacy and shelter. To the rear and side are immaculate landscaped gardens featuring mature planting, lawned areas and a stunning rill cascade water feature, creating a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere. The front gardens are equally impressive, with formal box hedging, mature trees and an attractive seating terrace perfectly positioned to enjoy afternoon and evening sun while overlooking the village green. A substantial gravel driveway provides extensive parking, while a large garage offers excellent additional storage potential.   Location – Eden Hall Occupying a distinguished position within the heart of Edenhall, The Old Vicarage enjoys an exceptional village setting just four miles from the highly regarded market town of Penrith. Steeped in history, Edenhall is widely recognised for its historic hall and the famous “Luck of Edenhall” glass legend, a story dating back centuries which helped establish the village’s reputation far beyond Cumbria. The village itself retains an attractive and peaceful character, centred around beautiful period buildings, mature greenery and a strong sense of community. Despite its tranquil setting, the location is remarkably convenient. Penrith provides an excellent range of independent shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and everyday services, while the nearby M6 motorway and West Coast Main Line station offer superb connectivity north and south, making the area highly accessible for both commuting and leisure travel.
