Lovingly maintained and cared for by the current owners, there are few properties quite like this exquisite residence, especially ones which fulfil so much and cater incredibly well to an ever diverse broad spectrum of wants and needs. Having created a most welcoming home, the current owners are now relocating, allowing a rare opportunity for new custodians to occupy this grand property.
If you are looking for a substantial period residence, extended to offer a range of accommodation, including 5 bedrooms incorporating the wonderful and versatile annexe, which can be both integrated or separated from the main dwelling house, a vast array of outbuildings, all of which are in excellent order and provide a host of scope and opportunity, then New House Farmhouse may well be the property for you. These outbuildings include a former byre and an upper level barn/office, all nestled within expansive, established and incredibly well maintained gardens.
With agricultural land bordering the property, there is a wonderful feeling of peace and tranquility, whilst being conveniently located between the town of Penrith and the city of Carlisle, in the rural idyll of Thomas Close.
New House Farmhouse is a delightful residence that must be viewed to be fully appreciated and briefly comprises the following generously proportioned accommodation; two entrance halls with the adjoining staircases, one of which forms part of the original dwelling, and includes a study/office, formal dining room, expansive living room, cloakroom/WC and pantry to the ground floor. The remainder of the ground floor includes a charming kitchen with ample dining space, sun room which overlooks the delightful garden, further study/office, cloakroom/WC, pantry and utility with door leading through to the annexe.
Barely 10 miles from Penrith and around 13 miles from Carlisle, Thomas Close sits near to Hutton End and enjoys a rural setting with only a handful of neighbouring properties. With easy access to the M6, around 3 miles from Thomas Close, properties rarely come up in this area, which offers a mix of convenience within an expansive rural setting. The nearest villages include Calthwaite and Ivegill, both of which have a primary school, and the nearby Southwaite Services offers a number of shops.
Mains electricity, water and septic tank drainage. (we understand this complies with current regulations). Heating is supplied by wood pellet boiler with an oil tank in place covering the Aga cooker. Telephone line installed subject to BT regulations with Fibrus broadband installed. Please note - the mention of any appliances and/or services within these particulars does not imply that they are in full and efficient working order.
Please note the annexe is currently a commercial entity with separately metered services.
Solar panels were added to the property in 2012 - for information on the recent income, please contact the Penrith office.
From Penrith, take the M6 northbound and exit at Junction 41 (Wigton). Take the first exit and continue on the B5305 taking the right turn, after a sharp left bend, for Hutton End/Ivegill/Carlisle. Continue on this road through Hutton End, and you will pass a stone built property on the left. A very short distance beyond this roadside property, you will come to a layby on the left. Take this layby, followed by the left turn. Continue over four unmarked speedbumps and the property can be found ahead.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
