Woodside, Sandysike, Carlisle, CA6 5SP

You’re Going To Need A Bigger Log Basket! This stylish extended semi doesn’t just have one log burner, it has two! It’s got a versatile downstairs layout, plenty of room upstairs and a big back garden with countryside views stretching to Skiddaw! Property ref: KD0516

If you’re looking for a spacious and stylish family home, in a quiet rural setting this could be your perfect next move.

It’s part of a small row of semi’s just a short drive from the A7 and just 5 minutes from Longtown.

That means you can enjoy peace, quiet and those gorgeous views over open fields towards the National Park fells - without living out in the sticks.

It sits on a 450m2 plot with the house set back from the road, giving space to park several cars next to the neat and tidy front lawn.

There are three homely and welcoming reception rooms. Two have traditional log burners and the third was created by converting the garage into another usable room plus a handy utility room.

The stylish fitted kitchen isn’t the biggest - but the utility does mean that none of the kitchen cupboard space is wasted. 

And if you wanted to open it up you could easily knock through into the rear of the large lounge, creating an L-shaped kitchen/diner/family room.

Upstairs has three double bedrooms, a good size single bedroom and the family bathroom.

The sun trap, south facing back garden has a block paved seating area, another neat lawn and a versatile outbuilding. It’s an adaptable space that could be a handy shed, a studio, a garden office or even a bar!

It may feel rural but it’s really only a short drive from the centre of Longtown, which has a Spar along with a couple of pubs and takeaways. 

The location is handy if you need to head off on the M6/A74(M) as Junction 44 at Carlisle is only a 10 minute drive down the A7.

It only takes another 10 minutes to drive to the centre of Carlisle, making this a practical commute if you work in the city but don’t particularly want to live there.

If you are heading into Carlisle in the morning you can drop the kids off at school on the way. The nearby Blackford Primary School is the closest primary school (it’s in the next village) and is rated “Good” by Ofsted.

Older kids will need to head into Carlisle for a choice of secondary schools. There are regular buses from nearby Sandysike on the A7 into Carlisle, the journey taking around half an hour.

This spacious and versatile family home has got so much going for it. From the tranquil, rural location to the choice of reception rooms…and don’t forget those views!

Make sure you don’t miss out by calling me to arrange a private viewing.
