Armathwaite, Carlisle, CA4 9PB

Your Chance To Own One Of Armathwaite’s Most Recognisable Homes. With breathtaking views, vast river-facing living spaces and a garden terrace that stops you in your tracks, this standout family home offers luxurious calm in an idyllic Eden Valley village. Property ref: KD0516

You’ve probably seen this house before - bright white and proudly perched above the River Eden, it’s a local landmark for anyone crossing the bridge into the village. 

But now it’s your turn to see it properly. Because when you step inside you’ll quickly realise it’s even more impressive than it looks from the road.

At just over 3,200 square feet, this detached four-bedroom home was built to make the most of its riverside setting. 

The main living room is a showstopper - 30ft long with bi-fold doors that frame uninterrupted views of the river. Throw them open and you step out onto south facing sun trap terrace that stretches the full width of the house, perfect for sunset drinks, morning coffees or just soaking up the stillness.

The rest of the home follows suit. 

There’s a separate drawing room, a formal dining room and a cosy reception room used as a family snug. 

The kitchen is a beautiful bespoke solid oak fitted units, centred around a classic Aga - exactly what you want in a homely and welcoming place like this. 

And there’s also a large utility room and downstairs loo tucked away, keeping things practical.

Upstairs, four double bedrooms give everyone their own space, including two with en-suites. 

The stunning family bathroom is a real feature in itself, with a gorgeous freestanding bath (there’s another freestanding bath in one of the ensuites)

When you step outside, the garden unfolds in tiers. 

The main terrace leads down to a lower level with a sandstone-built garden room and a pergola-covered seating area - each spot framing its own stunning view. 

It’s private, peaceful and full of garden party possibilities.

Out front, the secure gated driveway is block-paved with space for several cars, plus a detached garage. Everything you’d expect from a forever home - and then some.

Armathwaite is one of those rare villages that truly has it all. You’ve got riverside walks, cycling routes and proper country pubs (The Fox and Pheasant and The Duke’s Head are local favourites). 

There’s a popular primary school, a village shop and a station with direct trains to Carlisle taking around 20 minutes. It’s quiet but well connected.

So yes - it’s the house you’ve always noticed. But now it could be the one you never want to leave.

I’m expecting plenty of interest from discerning families, so please call me to arrange a viewing.
