Description
Dating back to 1858, when it was a Church Of England girls school, 8 St. Catherines Court is a well thought out conversion of this historic building, solidly constructed in local red sandstone, which was carried out in the late 1980's, creating a wonderfully well-proportioned home, in this always sought after area of Penrith.
Easily accessible to a wide range of local facilities and amenities, the property is in excellent well maintained contemporary order, having been improved in recent years with a new boiler which was installed in 2020, new windows that were installed in 2021-22, and a new front door in 2023
The property has accommodation over three floors, the ground floor comprising the main entrance hall with its arched doorway, the living room which has high windows looking on to St Catherines church, and a generous kitchen dining room which then opens onto a covered walkway which gives access to the rear parking area.
To the first floor is a recently renewed shower room, the main bedroom which has a corner aspect, the 2nd bedroom which overlooks the front and a 3rd bedroom / study which has a staircase giving access to the 4th bedroom in the attic space.
Externally there is a private garden area which wraps the corner of the house, storage cupboards in the covered walkway area and a parking area to the rear with allocated and marked spaces.
Ideal as a low maintenance residence, or with excellent options available as an Air BNB or rental unit, viewing is highly recommended to appreciate.
