Great Salkeld, Penrith CA11

Nestled in the heart of the Eden Valley lies Ruskin Cottage, a quintessential stone-built residence in Great Salkeld.

Great Salkeld is a sought-after village, renowned for its tranquility and traditional charm.

The community thrives around The Highland Drove, a welcoming country pub, and the village hall, which forms the hub of local activities.

Though immersed in rural beauty, Great Salkeld offers practicality with excellent proximity to the M6, the historic market town of Penrith, and its myriad of amenities, schools, and transport links, including the West Coast Mainline – London is around a three-hour journey away.

As well as the unspoilt Eden Valley, it's only a few miles before you enter the Lake District National Park.

You really do get the best of both worlds here - real authentic Cumbrian village life (without the National Park premium) but with the Lake District on your doorstep.

Ruskin Cottage stands proudly, a testament to its period charm and character.

The inviting ambiance is palpable upon entry, leading you to a spacious living/dining area, complete with an open fire that promises warmth and comfort during the cooler Cumbrian months.

Adjacent lies a well-proportioned kitchen, offering access to the rear garden and additional storage space.

Ascending to the first floor, you'll discover two inviting bedrooms; the larger a generous double, the second ideally suited as a single bedroom or home office.

Completing this level is a well-appointed bathroom.

Externally, the property boasts a quaint enclosed front garden, while the rear garden offers space for relaxation.

Ruskin Cottage awaits those yearning for a life of rural charm without forgoing the conveniences of modern living.

It's more than a house; it's a lifestyle opportunity not to be missed.
