About this property
The Hayloft, Ousby, Penrith, Cumbria
A rare opportunity to acquire an exceptionally well-appointed three bedroom home in one of the Eden Valley's most sought-after fellside villages, where thoughtful renovation meets one of the finest outlooks in the North Pennines.
The Hayloft has been comprehensively renovated to an exacting standard throughout, and it is immediately apparent that no corner has been cut. The accommodation is arranged in reverse, a decision made entirely in service of the view. Rising to the first floor, the living room is the undoubted heart of the house — a generous, light-filled space framing breathtaking views across the Pennine fells. It is the sort of room in which an evening passes rather quickly. Two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a stylish house bathroom complete the first floor.
On the ground floor, a large open plan kitchen diner provides a wonderful sociable hub, finished with stone work surfaces to a beautiful standard and offering ample space for both cooking and entertaining. A third bedroom on this floor benefits from its own en suite, making it ideally suited to guests, multi-generational living, or those seeking single-level sleeping accommodation. A utility room and cloakroom add practicality without compromising the elegance of the main living spaces.
Externally, the property enjoys the considerable advantage of a large drying room and separate boiler room — a genuinely useful provision for fell walkers and country living alike. To the rear, an attractive, low maintenance garden overlooks the fells, offering a peaceful spot from which to enjoy the ever-changing light across the Pennines without the burden of extensive upkeep.
Ousby and the Surrounding Area
Ousby is a charming and historic village nestled at the foot of the Pennines in the heart of the Eden Valley, an area celebrated for its unspoilt countryside, red sandstone villages and strong sense of community. The village sits beneath Cross Fell, the highest point of the Pennine chain, and the surrounding landscape offers outstanding walking, cycling and riding directly from the doorstep.
Despite its wonderfully rural setting, The Hayloft is far from remote. The thriving market town of Penrith lies approximately eight miles to the west, offering an excellent range of independent shops, supermarkets, cafés and restaurants, together with well-regarded primary and secondary schools, a leisure centre and a full range of professional services. Penrith also provides access to Junction 40 of the M6, placing Carlisle, the Lake District National Park and the wider motorway network within easy reach, while the West Coast Main Line station at Penrith offers direct services to London, Manchester and Glasgow.
Closer to home, the neighbouring villages of Melmerby and Langwathby provide day-to-day amenities, including the renowned village bakery at Melmerby, a primary school, village pubs and a station on the scenic Settle to Carlisle railway line.
In Summary
The Hayloft represents a rare combination: A beautifully renovated home of genuine quality, a flexible layout suited to a variety of buyers, and a position that captures the very best of the Eden Valley. Early viewing is strongly recommended.
