See inside: Renovated Victorian townhouse in Penrith town centre

Located at 1 Portland Place in Penrith, the newly renovated and beautiful house is built in local sandstone - a fine example of Victorian architecture, with elegant detailing.

The property, which is on sale with a guide price of £560k, lies at the foot of Wordsworth Street, near walks and woodland areas, and near the golf course and Eden Valley via Lazonby and Langwathby.

The house has recently had a thorough renovation using local builders and joiners and has become a contemporary family home while retaining some original features - old meets new.

The front has a forecourt with a sandstone dwarf wall with wrought iron railings, an arched doorway leading to the vestibule and an entrance hall with Minton-style tiled flooring and wood panelling.

Its dining room opens to the large kitchen from Atlantis Kitchen of Kendal with granite worksurfaces and a Rangemaster cooker.

To the rear is a utility room with more cooking facilities, and connecting doors lead to the back outside space and cellar which currently consists of a pantry and main room - being used as a gym for now.
