A FORMER joiners shop in a Lake District village has been remodelled into a two-bedroom home currently on the market for offers over £250,000.

The Old Joiners Shop on Church Row in Threlkeld sits at the foot of Blencathra, four miles east of Keswick.

The Grade-II listed stone-built house enjoys a view towards the glacial valley of St John’s in the Vale, and incorporates a number of features including exposed beams.

The property has a local occupancy condition, which means the house can only be occupied by a person with a local connection as their principle home.

According to the listing, the locality in this definition means the administrative areas of the parishes of: Above Derwent, Bassenthwaite; Bewaldeth and Snittlegarth; Blindbothel; Borrowdale; Buttermere and Brackenthwaite; Caldbeck; Embleton; Keswick; Lorton; St John's, Castlerigg and Wythburn; Setmurthy; Threlkeld; Underskiddaw; Wythop; and those parts of the Parishes of Blindcrake; Ireby and Uldale; and Loweswater which lie within the administrative area of the Lake District National Park.

The house certainly isn’t the biggest – it has just two bedrooms and the kitchen has an area with restricted headroom.

However, it does feature a stable door to enter, as well as a spacious living room with views into the vale, along with exposed beams.

The kitchen is modern and has a hob and oven, integrated fridge freezer, plus plumbing for a washing machine.

Upstairs, the bathroom and the two bedrooms both feature sloping ceilings and partially restricted headroom too, but there are more exposed beams to add character.

Each room also uses recessed low voltage lighting.

Outside, there is a gravelled off-road parking area with space for two cars. The listing describes the village of Threlkeld as “an ideal base for exploring the Lake District and the Eden Valley.”

The property has been listed on rightmove by Keswick-based estate agent Hackney and Leigh.
