Tall Trees, Cargo, Carlisle, CA6 4AW

An Immaculate, Modernised Single Storey Home With Very Unusual Neigh-Bours. If you love horsing around then this three bedroom bungalow will be ideal - it’s next door to a horse breeder and trainer with an outdoor arena just beyond your back fence. Property ref: KD0516

This move-in ready single storey home is in a fabulous little village that’s close to the Solway Plain and yet handy for town or the M6.

But there’s plenty of modernised bungalows in nice little villages within a 15 minute drivetime of Carlisle.

But very few will have a renowned breeder and showjumping training facilities on the other side of the garden fence!

Some might learn this news and gallop away from Tall Trees in the opposite direction. But others might saddle up and see this as their dream home!

Tall Trees is one of those “deceptively spacious” bungalows that look tiny when viewed from the street. But it has hidden depths!

It’s set well back from the road on a substantial plot, so what you see at the front is just the kitchen and lounge.

The property is approached via a long driveway with room to park several cars, leading up to a welcoming front garden bordered by mature plants.

The heart of the home is the spacious open plan lounge and dining area. It’s light and bright, with a front window looking out to the front garden and French doors at the rear which open to the back garden.

Here, an open fire with a gorgeous tiled hearth and wooden surround will keep you warm on chilly winter evenings - and it also makes a fantastic focal point for the room.

The kitchen / diner is modern, with plenty of space in the shaker-style fitted units and room for a small table and chairs - perfect for midweek meals. French doors lead out to the south facing front lawn.

There are three double bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes. The master bedroom also has a stylish ensuite shower room, which matches the luxurious four-piece family bathroom.

The rear garden has a small lawn, a choice of patio seating areas, mature borders, and a handy shed. 

If you love sitting out with a morning coffee you may hear the comings and goings of the working stud farm next door - the stables are next door with an outdoor showjumping arena on the other side of the back fence.

And if you’ve got some spare time on your hands you could even ask next door if they would let you help out!

Cargo is the perfect choice if you work in Carlisle City Centre or the Kingstown Industrial Estate but want to live in a quiet village where you can explore the Solway Firth AONB minutes from your front door. 

It’s still a standalone village, near the banks of the river Eden, but it’s also one of the nearest villages to the northern edge of the city.

That means you can jump in the car and be in the centre of town in under 15 minutes. Or if you head west you can be at Kingstown Retail Park or Junction 44 of the M6 in less than 10.

But if you head east it’s a completely different story. Drive ten minutes in that direction and you can be heading through Burgh By Sands, well on the way to Bowness and the coast.

You can’t ignore what’s going on with the horses next door, so this smart and versatile single storey home is going to be best suited to those who’d embrace the positives about having such unique neigh-bours.

If this sounds like you, call me to arrange a viewing.
