Location and directions

Widely regarded as one of Carlisle's best villages, Wetheral has a wonderful community feel and benefits from a shop and Post Office, cafe, two pubs, restaurant, leisure club with pool and gym as well as a doctor's surgery and Church, not to mention a village hall and an active social community. Further to this, the village is served by both bus and railway just a few minutes' walk from the property, with the latter offering access to both Carlisle and Newcastle. The M6 and A69 are both just minutes away offering access to the wider region. Whilst benefitting from all of the above, the village manages to retain a rural feel, sat high above the river Eden, along which there are a plethora of pleasant woodland walks, one being across the viaduct to the neighbouring village of Great Corby. The property is centrally positioned in the village and located on a private driveway through Hall Moor Court. It is just 2.8 miles from M6 motorway, 5 miles from Carlisle City centre and just 18 miles from the North Lake District and Penrith. Newcastle International Airport being 53 miles.

A little about Passive design.
Passive design uses orientation utilising sunshine, shade, ventilation and building materials - to avoid the need for fossil fuels for traditional central heating and hot water production. The only technical input being solar roof panels linked to the electrical circuits for hot water storage and air source heat pumps to feed the underfloor heating system. The house uses simple solar gain and external thermal insulation to retain heat all year round with solid wall construction and no cavities or cold spots. By only using the highest levels of insulation, airtightness and building materials, passive specification homes can use up to 90% less energy than a standard home.
Internal air is circulated through filters and mixed with fresh air to help maintain a steady temperature even in the middle of winter and to assist with cooling in summer. Passive specification homes offer a superior indoor comfort experience thanks to the consistent temperatures and good quality airflow. They also have the added benefit of reducing both external and internal noise due to the high levels of insulation and triple-glazed windows. Such homes will have the most efficient performance standard available in today's market. With an expected EPC of A+ We are advised by the builder the projected annual energy cost to be £1500 pa.
