Property for sale in Penrith
Penrith is an historic market town on the fringes of Lake District National Park. It is an important shopping centre for the region, with a good mix of traditional shops. Opposite the railway station in Penrith are the striking remains of Penrith's red sandstone 'Castle of the Kings' that date from 1399. High above is Penrith Beacon, a monument built in 1719 in recognition of the beacons that had been lit since the reign of Henry VIII. From the monument, there is a magnificent view across the Eden Valley.
If you are looking for property for sale in Penrith, Castletown is to the west of the railway line and is a mix of industrial estates and Edwardian terraced houses. Townhead lies to the north of Penrith and has modestly-priced houses and local authority-owned housing estates. The "New Streets" is an area on Beacon Fells, between Townhead and Scaws, where the streets are steep and estate agents in Penrith represent large detached and semi-detached 19th century houses. The Scaws Estate was built by Penrith Council after World War II and in later years private houses were also developed. Carleton Village is an area of Penrith that has seen the greatest growth in houses and flats. Buyers looking for houses for sale in Penrith are attracted to the area as it is close to Frenchfield with its sports pitches and to Winters Park where Penrith RUFC has its ground.
