Fast fibre broadband installed. Please note - the mention of any appliances and/or services within these particulars does not imply that they are in full and efficient working order.
From Penrith, enter Appleby and proceed past the Grammar School and down Battlebarrow hill onto the Sands. Follow the main road through Appleby then take the left turn signposted Hilton and Murton as you ascend the next hill. Continue under the railway bridge, taking the second exit at the mini roundabout, following the road taking the next left until reaching Murton. On reaching the village, cross over the bridge, and continue straight ahead. Follow this road for approximately 2 miles and Tidy Bank can be found in an elevated position, on the right hand side.
