"An impressive Georgian detached house set in private grounds on the edge of a highly desirable Cumbrian village"
The Property
Eden Bank is a distinguished detached Georgian property set within approximately 1.88 acres of private gardens and grounds. This Grade II Listed property, dating back to 1834, was originally built for a prominent wine merchant and was the first large house in Wetheral, benefitting from the area’s growth due to the development of the Newcastle to Carlisle Railway.
The property sits amidst extensive landscaped gardens, featuring sweeping lawns, mature woodland, and a tennis court, offering a peaceful retreat from modern life. There is also a substantial outbuilding that includes a one-bedroom annexe, providing further flexibility. Additionally, a paddock of around 3.04 acres is located to the north-east of the grounds, which may be available to let through separate negotiation.
Eden Bank offers generous and versatile living spaces, with elegant reception rooms and spacious bedrooms spread across two upper floors. The stone portico entrance leads to an impressive hallway with access to the principal reception rooms. The grand drawing room boasts full-height sash windows, decorative wood flooring, and a marble fireplace, while the sitting room provides another large reception area. A versatile study is also located on the ground floor.
The kitchen/dining room features fitted cabinetry, a grand AGA, and an adjoining boot room that leads to a laundry room and pantry. A cloakroom and WC complete the ground floor.
The first floor offers two large bedrooms, including the principal bedroom with an en-suite shower room. A third guest bedroom with an en-suite is also accessible from the half landing. A spacious dressing room, which could be converted into an additional bedroom, has an adjoining shower room. A further family bathroom is located on this floor.
A concealed staircase leads to the second floor, where there are three attic rooms. These spaces, though with limited headroom, could serve as playrooms, hobby rooms, or home office space.
The extensive cellarage beneath Eden Bank provides ample storage, with multiple cellar rooms and a boiler room.
External Features
Eden Bank is accessed via a gated entrance leading to a gravelled driveway and spacious parking area. To the rear of the property is a courtyard with outbuildings, incorporating garages, storage, and a self-contained annexe. The annexe includes a ground-floor kitchen/utility room, a first-floor sitting room, and a bedroom with en-suite shower room – ideal for guests or as private accommodation.
The landscaped grounds surrounding the property include mature woodlands, lawns, a tennis court, and winding footpaths that link to peaceful seating areas, including a summerhouse that rotates to capture the sun throughout the day.
A paddock of approximately 3.04 acres may be available to let through separate negotiation.
