The Property

Dating from the 1800s, Eden View is an impressive period house that has undergone an extensive programme of renovation, retaining the proportions and architectural presence of the original building while introducing the comfort and specification of a newly finished home.

Approximately 4,893 sq ft of accommodation is arranged between the principal house, substantial cellar level and adjoining two bedroom annexe, creating exceptional flexibility for family life, guests and multigenerational living. The annexe originally formed the staff quarters of the house, reflecting the scale and standing of the property throughout its history.

The renovation has been comprehensive. Internally, the house was stripped back before new insulated wall systems, floors, plumbing, electrics, windows, doors, plasterwork, joinery, bathrooms and flooring were introduced. The kitchen and utility room are being supplied by Atlantis Kitchens, with an allowance included within the asking price for the current design. Amendments within budget may be considered following an agreed sale.

At the heart of the ground floor is an impressive kitchen and dining room extending to approximately 10.3 metres in length. Its scale allows generous space for cooking, dining and entertaining, complemented by herringbone engineered wood flooring through the hallway and kitchen.

The principal living room measures approximately 4.5m x 6.8m, providing a substantial yet comfortable reception room. Alongside it, the garden room extends to approximately 5.6m x 4.1m and opens directly onto a newly created deck, establishing a strong connection between the house and its landscaped grounds. A generous utility area and separate WC complete the principal ground floor accommodation.

Below the house are two unusually substantial cellar rooms, measuring approximately 4.2m x 5.4m and 4.2m x 5.0m. These have been professionally tanked and damp proofed, with new concrete floors, tiled finishes and underfloor heating. They offer excellent scope for use as a cinema room, gym, games room, studio, wine room or dedicated workspace.

The upper floors provide four generous double bedrooms within the principal house, each with its own en suite facilities and built-in wardrobes. The adjoining annexe adds a further two bedrooms and two bathrooms, offering independent accommodation for relatives, guests or those working from home.

Eden View also carries an interesting historical thread. Research has identified a possible connection with physician and novelist Henry De Vere Stacpoole, author of The Blue Lagoon, who was recorded at a property referred to as Eden Vue in Langwathby in 1907. The precise connection remains part of ongoing historical research rather than established fact.

Externally

The exterior of Eden View has received the same extensive attention as the interior. The elevations have been sandblasted and repointed, the roof replaced in natural slate, and the guttering, fascias, windows and doors renewed.

The driveway, pathways, boundaries and gardens have also been comprehensively renewed and landscaped. There is ample parking for several vehicles together with a substantial double garage, while gardens extend to both the front and rear of the house.

The garden room opens onto a newly created deck, providing an easy setting for outdoor dining and entertaining and allowing the principal living accommodation to connect directly with the gardens.
