For Sale4 Bedroom Semi-Detached House in East Larches, Beacon Edge, Penrith, CA11£675,000

This impressive Victorian home, originally a Manse, was divided in 1947 and as you would expect from a Victorian property the rooms are generous and well proportioned with a plethora of period features but it still has that perfect blend of grandeur and homely charm. East Larches is well maintained having been recently re-decorated with an abundance of tasteful Farrow and Ball and has been extensively re-carpeted. The property has had a new central heating system installed in July 2024 with many contemporary period style radiators; in addition, the property is double glazed throughout. On entering the property there is a conservatory, the double glazing in this room was entirely replaced in 2016.

The land wraps around to three sides of this southwest facing home. There is a delightful, formal, south facing lawn to the front of the property and often the venue for a game of croquet. It is surrounded by mature trees and shrubs with three outstanding Japanese Maples and a stunning Beech tree. On the east side, the terraced garden, also with open views, includes a south facing walled garden at the highest point of the plot complete with productive espalier apple, pear and plum trees, which provides a relaxing sun trap in the spring and summer months. The apple and plum blossom, followed later in the season by the flowers and shrubs in the borders such as globe thistles, oxeye daisies, cotoneaster, make it a haven for lots of buzzing bees and butterflies.
