Stenkrith House is a lovely stone built, double fronted house built around 1820. The house is enclosed in its own walled gardens, with beautiful views over the surrounding countryside. The wonderful garden slopes gently down towards the Eden River and you can hear the water rushing over the spectacular Cowcarni Waterfall.

Denise and Mike have lived in the Eden Valley all their lives and are passionate about the area. In fact on most days you will probably spot Denise walking Meg their spaniel across the fields and local pathways, quite often directing lost coast to coasters.

The house is less than 10 mins walk into the centre of the town, with a population of less than 2000.
