Location - Situated in the picturesque village of Orton about twenty minutes drive from both the market towns of Kendal and Penrith and having excellent access to the M6 Motorway (junctions 38 & 39). Orton is a pretty traditional Westmorland village, enjoying a delightful rural position built around a central green with two streams crossed by many footbridges and having a fine church on a hill overlooking tranquil countryside.
The surrounding countryside is indeed very beautiful and unusual in having large tracts of unfenced land providing a huge variety of interesting walks. The area has excellent access to the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks, both within less than half an hour's drive. The village itself has retained many of the services lost in recent years by other rural communities and maintains a wonderfully strong community with regular events being held within the village. The village boasts a well-regarded Primary school, two churches, hotel, public house, post office, general store, a fortnightly farmers market and a specialist chocolate shop and café.
Additional Information - Services: Mains electricity, water and drainage. Electric heating and double glazing installed throughout. Immersion heater for hot water and solar panels installed. Please note the mention of any appliances/services within these particulars does not imply that they are in full and efficient working order.
Flooding: The 1st and 2nd floors were subject to surface water flooding during Storm Dennis in 2020, caused we believe due to a blocked drain in the adjacent field. This has been rectified and flood defenses and pumps have been installed following this event.
