Property Description

Some houses have just got it and The Challenge is certainly one of those properties... this gorgeous semi-detached sandstone period home sits elegantly in one of Cumbria's most desirable villages.

Featuring an incredible garden and a garage the saying 'never judge a book by its cover' is extremely apt with this delightful property. QUOTE AP0121

Bursting with period charm and panache this home has quirkiness and originality and awaits its new owner.

As soon as you arrive in the village of Wetheral, you cannot fail to be impressed by the location.

The house is situated in a nicely elevated part of the village just off the main village green and has bags of curb appeal. 

There is a pretty front garden and a driveway with gated access to the left.

On opening the front /side door of this 'turn-key' property you enter a vestibule that then leads to an intriguing hallway.

There is a superb main reception room which is the main living/dining space.

Double aspect and flooded with natural light you really can watch the world go by from this room. There's even a lovely window seat, where you can relax with a book.

You can also hunker down in here, and there is a wood-burning stove perfect for when the nights draw in.

Also on the ground floor is a wonderful kitchen/diner.

This is the heart of this lovely property and a great place to spend time in the morning with coffee and toast and then on an evening when regaling tales of the day.

On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms and a superb bathroom.

The main bedroom to the front elevation features an excellent range of quality fitted wardrobes.

The garden to the front is very pretty and easily maintained.

As you look at the property to the left side, there is a generous driveway area which is gated and leads to a detached and well-proportioned garage.

A hidden gem awaits at the rear of the property, and you will be blown away by the rear garden, which has been meticulously looked after and provides a wonderful place to spend time, potter and relax.

The property enjoys a pleasant orientation and will pick up a good deal of sun.

Location:

Less than 15 minutes from the city centre of Historic Carlisle but full of rural charm, Wetheral is arguably Carlisle’s most desirable village. It’s nicely off the beaten track with a vibrant local community but still close to the shops and amenities in the city. 

You do get the best of both worlds here.

It’s a short walk to the popular village hall and sports fields and also to the village green where you’ll find the local store and post office.

There is also a doctor's surgery in the village.

The village has plenty of great food choices - from satisfying lite bites and fabulous cakes in the Posting Pot, a meal and a thirst quencher at The Wheatsheaf to a dining experience in the Crown Hotel or Fantails.

Wetheral even has its own train station. Regular trains to Carlisle only take around ten minutes.

If you love the great outdoors, Wetheral is the perfect base. It's nestled between the North Pennines AONB and the Lake District National Park. You can enjoy real Cumbrian village life without paying the National Park premium.

If you must travel further afield, you can be on the M6 at junction 43 in less than 5 minutes. The West Coast Main Line at Carlisle connects you to London, Birmingham or Glasgow. London can be reached in just over 3 hours.

Located in one of Carlisle's most desirable villages, it gives you the best of both worlds. You can enjoy a simple village lifestyle along with access to all the modern City essentials like good restaurants, schools and leisure facilities.
