House

This unique and delightful detached family home, built just over 20 years ago is a rare opportunity to acquire a meticulously designed and maintained property, enjoying virtually 360 degree views of the rolling northern Cumbrian countryside on a generous 4 acre plot. It is ideal for buyers looking for a quality, modern home within easy access to Carlisle and the major road and rail routes but in an unspoilt rural setting and with the benefit of land. The current owners have maintained the home to the highest of standards and it is in turnkey condition.

Beech House is wrapped handsomely by well-maintained and mature gardens. To the west of the property is a further pergola with vines and sunny patio area. The generous and well-manicured lawn leads to an attractive wild garden, home to many hedgehogs. The garden boasts a rather fine horse chestnut tree and cherry and apple trees. The view to the north from the property is open and uninterrupted to the fields and beyond and often planted with barley which is particularly spectacular in the late summer months. In addition there is a 3.5 acre field with access through double gates off the drive. This large field has been put to many uses by the family over their 20 years at the property.
