Tirril House EPC

"A handsome Georgian property with exceptional gardens, far-reaching views and a wealth of original features"

The Property
Set within a traditional village setting beneath the silhouette of Cross Fell, Tirril House is an elegant Georgian home of generous proportions, complete with extensive gardens, mature orchards and an excellent range of outbuildings. The house retains a wealth of original features, including working shutters, traditional fireplaces and fine joinery. The setting is peaceful, with long-reaching views across open countryside to Helvellyn and Blencathra, yet the house remains well placed for Penrith, the Lake District, and major transport links.

Internally, the layout is well considered and full of character, with high ceilings, original paneling and sash windows contributing to a sense of calm and quiet grandeur. A wide, part-glazed front door opens into a welcoming hallway, laid with original sandstone flags. There is a large cellar below, with generous storage space and housing for the boiler.

The principal reception rooms are arranged symmetrically around the hallway. To the left, the drawing room extends the full depth of the house; a beautifully bright, dual-aspect space arranged into two distinct seating areas, with an open fire. Across the hall, a formal dining room has original wood flooring. A snug, complete with a multi-fuel stove set into a traditional surround, sits to the front and is a central hub connecting the reception rooms with the kitchen dining room and utility spaces beyond.

The kitchen brings a more relaxed and informal character, with quarry tiled flooring and traditional cupboards wrapping around a oil-fired Aga. There is also an electric hob, integrated dishwasher and butler-style sink. A traditional pantry with open shelving sits just off the kitchen, along with a downstairs WC and a utility room with internal access to the garage. The garage is fitted with electric doors and also contains the oil tank. The ‘coat room’ sits between the kitchen and garden room, acting as a transitional space and an informal entrance from the rear garden. The garden room itself offers views over the enclosed rear garden and opens onto the patio via wide bifolding doors.

Upstairs, the main landing is naturally lit by a tall arched window and retains its original bannisters and ceiling rose. There are five double bedrooms in total, each with generous proportions and period details, including fireplaces, dado rails and cornicing. The principal bedroom enjoys views to the rear and is served by its own private dressing room and bathroom. A family bathroom, fitted with both bath and shower, and study space complete the property.

Externally
The house sits behind a walled front garden, with graveled parking for several vehicles and access to the integral garage. To the rear, the main garden is predominantly laid to lawn with mature planting and fruit trees, enclosed by stone walls and enjoying open views across pasture to Cross Fell. Steps lead down to a productive kitchen garden, with raised beds, a fruit cage, and a further potting shed and greenhouse. A series of stone-built outbuildings and workshops lie beyond the garage, offering excellent storage, workspace or further potential subject to any necessary consents.
