A rare opportunity to acquire a property, which has changed hands only three times in its history! Standing proud along Greenside Road, Mountain View is rather iconic to Glenridding; starting life as a well-appointed piece of land, it was acquired to erect a local village shop in the early 1900's, with the owner of the shop building the adjoining property to reside in. The property was subsequently acquired by the Army, changing hands in 1947 to become home to the grandparents of our current Vendor.
This property offers deceptively generous accommodation together with an adjoining structure which used to be the village store, detached garage, summer house and expansive gardens, all set with the impressive Glenridding Dodd Fell overlooking you and within walking distance to local amenities and facilities; the scope and opportunity on offer here is vast!
The structure of the shop remains in situ and does require attention, however, when coupled with this rather well-proportioned property, and the excellent gardens, it becomes part of so much more; a plot of approx. 0.24 acres (.097ha) which offers an abundance of potential for the right buyer. Mountain View may look small from the front, however it stretches back to offer accommodation which includes two reception rooms, kitchen and adjoining lean-to outhouse (which connects internally to the shop structure). To the first floor you will find two good sized, double bedrooms, a single room/hobby room and a family bathroom.
Externally, in addition to the large garden, there is a summer house which is set up to potentially incorporate bathroom facilities, a detached garage and shed. Parking can be found to the side and front of the property.
Glenridding is a popular, tourist village situated in a prime position on the southern shores of Ullswater in the central Lake District National Park, approximately 14 miles south west of Penrith and the M6. Keswick to the north west and Windermere/Kendal to the south, are all within a half hours drive and London is only three hours away by train from Penrith railway station. There is also the delightful neighboring village of Patterdale within close proximity.
Mains electricity & water; septic tank drainage - access within garden; oil central heating - a back boiler in the multi fuel stove supplements both heating and hot water; majority double glazing installed; telephone & broadband connections installed subject to BT regulations. Please note: The mention of any appliances/services within these particulars does not imply that they are in full and efficient working order.

From junction 40 of the M6 at Penrith, access the A66 trunk road heading west and proceed for just under a mile to the Rheged Discovery Centre roundabout. Take the second exit (A592 for Ullswater) and continue for approximately 11 miles along this route which borders Ullswater. Once you are in Glenridding, take the second right on to Greenside Road and then the first left as though going to The Travellors Rest. Once you take the left, the property is a short distance along on the right hand side (opposite the Health Centre).
