Following on from the extremely popular first phase, Persimmon Homes are delighted to present the next phase of Carleton Meadows. The development is located in the historic market town of Penrith in the scenic county of Cumbria and offers a wide range of properties.
Carleton Meadows is an easy 5-minute drive east of the town centre and all the local facilities of this lovely town. There`s very convenient access to the M6 connecting Penrith with Carlisle to the north and Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool to the south. The A66 is the direct route west from the town into the glorious Lake District National Park via Keswick. To the east, you can head into the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and if you come off the M6 for Sedburgh, you`ll be in the unspoilt landscape of Cumbria and the Yorkshire Dales National Park. What a great place to set up home.
Leisure
Nestled in the beautiful Eden Valley, Penrith is positioned on the edge of the Lake District, with breathtaking views all around. The imposing ruins of the castle are a clear sign of the town's rich heritage as the former capital of Cumbria.
