The Old Telephone Exchange, Bank Lane, Egremont, CA22

Nestled just a short distance from Main Street, The Old Telephone Exchange was once the heart of Egremont's telephone network. Today, it has been transformed into a distinctive three bed bungalow, complete with a detached garage that once housed the original exchange equipment. Offering spacious, single level living, this property benefits from ample parking, gardens and a prime location within easy reach of local amenities.

The accommodation is well presented throughout and briefly comprises an entrance hallway, open plan kitchen/diner/reception room, a second reception room with French doors out to the garden, three piece shower room, two generously sized double bedrooms, and a single bedroom. Externally, the property enjoys a large, secure driveway with ample space for several vehicles and gardens to the front and rear. The surrounding gardens and outdoor space include well maintained lawns, patio seating areas and mature trees and shrubbery. Uniquely positioned, the property also borders a peaceful stream, offering a tranquil setting while being just a stone's throw from the conveniences of the town.
