Commanding an enviable, elevated position, this magnificent Victorian residence with detached two bedroom lodge has a private sweeping driveway, beautiful grounds and panoramic Lakeland Fell views.

Lonsdale Villa - This incredible 8 bedroom Victoria residence sits in a private elevated position in the heart of Penrith town centre with grounds of around 0.7 acres. Approached by a tree-lined sweeping driveway this wonderful home has every element that a modern family may be looking for. With the possibility for income generation, working from home or for multi-generational families, the possibilities are endless! Internally arranged over 4 floors and has around 4800 sqft of accommodation with an abundance of charm and original period features. Believed to date back to 1861, and has been sympathetically renovated, this fabulous home is beautifully presented both inside and out. All windows in this wonderful home frame the elevated views towards the Fells.

Stepping through the handsome front door of the main house, you are immediately greeted by a central entrance hall, with its high ceilings, decorative cornicing and ornate pitch pine staircase. The three reception rooms leading from this space are generously proportioned and beautifully appointed, blending period character with modern comfort, light flooding in through the Victorian windows.

The dining room and lounge are statements in elegance, with tall stone mullion windows framing views over the gardens and across Penrith to the Lakeland fells beyond. The snug provides a more intimate space for quiet reading or family evenings, while the games room and bar create a true sense of occasion — perfect for entertaining guests or enjoying relaxed weekends.

The kitchen has been sensitively modernised and extended, offering the perfect combination of function and style. Here you will find sleek, glossy cabinets, an original wooden work surface, high-quality appliances, and underfloor heating that makes the heart of the home welcoming all year round.

- The first floor boasts four double bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, providing abundant space for family, guests, or visitors. High ceilings and generous and original fireplaces ensure that the period charm remains very much intact.
- The second floor offers four further bedrooms, all accressed from a central lounge area, with the benefit of two stylish and unique bathrooms. This upper floor adds a host of flexible options to create spaces suitable for your own family needs.

Hermitage Lodge - Sitting in a private position in the grounds, Hermitage Lodge is a fully self-contained two-bedroom property with its own kitchen, bathroom and living space. This secondary dwelling offers exceptional flexibility: it can serve as a working from home space, guest annexe, staff accommodation, a separate rental property, or simply a peaceful hideaway for multi-generational living.

The Gardens - The property sits within generous private grounds extending to around 0.7 acres that create a sense of seclusion. The landscaped gardens include sweeping lawns, terraces, orchard, zen-garden offering multiple outdoor seating and entertaining areas. A detached double garage and ample parking make this home as practical as it is beautiful.
The elevated position means many rooms — and the gardens themselves — enjoy panoramic views towards the surrounding hills and fells, a constant reminder that the Lake District National Park lies just on your doorstep.
