Eden Mount, Wetheral, is a magnificent Grade II listed Victorian residence overlooking the village green in the highly desirable Eden Valley village of Wetheral. Built in 1872 for a wealthy tea merchant, this handsome home combines historic elegance with generous accommodation, creating a wonderful setting for families and friends to come together. Its central location, with excellent access to the M6, the Lake District, the Scottish Borders and Newcastle, makes it a convenient meeting place for guests travelling from across the UK.
The house has preserved much of its original character, with an abundance of period features throughout. Wetheral itself is a charming village, home to a friendly pub, restaurant and village shop for everyday needs, and sits on the Newcastle train line, allowing for easy car-free excursions. Those with an interest in local history can explore nearby highlights such as the waterfall at Corby Castle, the striking 19th-century viaduct over the River Eden, and the remains of an ancient abbey within the village. The city of Carlisle is close at hand, offering a castle, cathedral, excellent shopping and a wide choice of attractions for all ages.
A short flight of steps leads to the front door and into a spacious entrance hall, where decorative stained-glass windows and traditional Victorian tiled flooring create an immediate sense of character. For quiet evenings, the main sitting room offers a welcoming space to relax with a book or enjoy time together by the open fire. There is also a cosy snug, again with an open fire, and a large formal dining room.
The traditional kitchen is fully equipped for all cooking requirements, featuring an electric double oven and hob, fridge, microwave and dishwasher. A kitchen table provides a relaxed setting for informal meals, while a sofa allows guests to socialise while food is prepared. A practical utility room houses a large fridge-freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer, and a ground-floor WC adds further convenience.
At the end of the day, guests can retreat to one of the beautifully appointed bedrooms. There are three double bedrooms, including a super king-size four-poster room and a double four-poster bedroom, as well as an additional double. A fourth bedroom offers a king-size bed that can be converted into twin beds on request, while the fifth bedroom is ideal for children, with a single bed and pull-out trundle. Two family bathrooms serve this floor: one with a bath, walk-in shower and wash basin, and the other with a bath and shower.
In the warmer months, the extensive gardens provide a delightful outdoor space, with a large lawn bordered by mature shrubs and planting, alongside a patio area furnished for alfresco dining.
Gas, electricity, bed linen, towels and an initial supply of fuel for the open fires are included. Two well-behaved dogs are welcome, and a travel cot and highchair can be provided on request. The property offers ample private parking and generous gardens. Please note that stag and hen parties are not permitted.
