Capon Tree Road, Brampton, CA8 1QW

A “Grand Designs” Transformation That’s Also A Fabulous Family Home. This stunning four bedroom bungalow has been extended and updated to include a superb, sociable kitchen / diner, a luxury bathroom and a gorgeous first floor master bedroom suite.

Not so long ago this was a very neat and tidy 1980’s bungalow which would suit an older buyer looking for a single storey home on the edge of the countryside.

The current owners bought it a few years ago and set about undertaking a dramatic transformation - extending it and improving it so that it’s now an almost unrecognisably fabulous family home.

Like all good family homes, the kitchen will be the main social hub where everyone likes to spend time together.

Here the open plan kitchen / diner / family room is a spectacular space. Not only does it contain stylish fitted units and top of the range NEFF appliances (including a Bake Off style hide & slide oven) but it’s beautiful too. 

The Karndean flooring is both practical and lovely to look at and the high vaulted ceiling with full height windows floods the family area with light.

If everyone automatically heads to the kitchen to catch up, there’s a choice of two reception rooms where you can nip off to relax in peace.

There are three good size double bedrooms on the ground floor and an opulent master bedroom suite with its own staircase to the first floor.

The master bedroom has a dressing room and a luxurious ensuite shower room which matches the beautiful modern design of the four piece family bathroom below.

It has a Juliet balcony which looks out over the back garden and gives unspoilt views of open fields which stretch towards the distant Pennines.

The property is practical too, with a handy utility room just off the kitchen, a separate downstairs w/c and underfloor heating throughout. There’s a large porcelain tiled seating area with a pergola at the rear and space to park several cars on the drive.

Capon Tree Road is one of Brampton’s most sought after addresses - being right on the edge of the countryside but still only a short drive to the Market Place or station.

Brampton is a bustling market town with a range of local shops, pubs and cafés along with some big name stores.

If you’re looking for more choice, it’s only around 20 minutes in the car to Carlisle. If you wanted to leave the car at home there is a station (on the Newcastle to Carlisle line) that’s about a mile out of town.

Being a family-friendly home it’s reassuring to know that the local primary school is rated “Good” by Ofsted. It's only a 5 minute drive or less than a 20 minute walk away. 

Older kids have an even shorter journey up to the popular William Howard School.

This is a truly spectacular family home in a sought after spot, right on the edge of the countryside. It will be perfect if you work in Carlisle but prefer to bring up your family in a small market town rather than the busy city.

The owners really should be proud of how they’ve created such a luxurious transformation without losing the essence of a warm and welcoming family home.

I’m expecting plenty of interest from discerning families eager to move in and make it their dream home, so call me to arrange a viewing.
