5 bedroom link detached house

Here we have a rare opportunity to purchase a charming period village property with a large mature garden. The house is in need of complete renovation.
Quaker Croft is a Victorian house in the desirable village of Eaglesfield. The double fronted facade gives little clue to the extensive rear garden and courtyard that benefit from a lovely sunny aspect and boasts mature trees and space to spread your wings, the centre-piece being a fabulous mature copper Beech tree. Viewing is essential to get a feel of the charming outdoor space on offer and appreciate the tranquil position of this property.
The house itself will require extensive refurbishment with every trade required. The current owners have made some stop-gap alterations to make it liveable but ideally it would benefit from a top-to-tail strip back and full renovation. Once the necessary work is complete it will make a beautiful family home of generous proportions within easy reach of Cockermouth and highly rated nearby schools.
Planning permission exists for a large rear kitchen extension to replace or add on to the unfinished extension that the current owner has built. There are many design opportunities here for a purchaser who wishes to put their own stamp on it.
The house currently has 5 beds and 3 reception rooms. Outside there is a large carport and a charming wooden summerhouse plus ample parking for 4 or more vehicles.

Things You Need To Know - The current owners of this property have started its renovation but they are now selling it as it is: work is required throughout the property including works to the roof, electrics, plumbing, plastering, joinery, decor etc.
Planning permission has previously been granted for a large extension to the rear - the current owners chose to erect a smaller two storey extension with an additional utility room adjoining but Building Regulation approval has not been finalised for this.
The vendors would like to take the opportunity of talking through what needs to be completed - they are actively open with what needs to be done and will provide you with a full information.
