Howgill Close, Bolton Low Houses

Set in a quiet modern estate in Bolton Low Houses, this detached family home offers the best of all worlds - easy access to Carlisle, quick routes to both the National Park and the beach, and a certain kind of countryside calm.

Inside, there’s versatile space exactly where you need it. 

A large kitchen/diner is sure to become the social hub of the home - roomy enough for homework at the table, casual coffee chats or full-on Sunday roasts with the in-laws. 

The two reception rooms at the front give everyone their own corner to relax, recharge or catch up on the latest boxset.

Practical touches make life flow better: there’s a utility room to keep laundry out of sight, a downstairs loo for visitors and four proper double bedrooms upstairs, 3 of them with built in storage.

One of the bedrooms has a stylish ensuite, when added to the four piece family bathroom it should help to keep the weekday morning bathroom queues to a minimum.

Outside, the back garden is made for summer BBQs and lazy weekend lounging - with a generous paved area and lawn ready for a kickabout with the kids.

At the front, another smart lawn and a block paved drive gives you plenty of space to park, plus there’s a single garage for extra storage or your dream home gym.

Bolton Low Houses is a quiet little village that’s handy for Carlisle, the sea and the National Park.

It’s conveniently close to the A595 but is set back so you won’t be bothered by passing traffic. 

The village hall, primary school and pub are the only amenities currently in the village. You’ll need to head to nearby Wigton for your daily essentials. It’s less than a 10 minute drive to the centre of town.

There’s a selection of shops, cafes and pubs along with a popular market every Friday. There’s also a host of leisure facilities in the town, with both a swimming pool and badminton club. 

If you’re looking for a greater choice or are heading further afield there’s hourly trains which will take you from Wigton to Carlisle in less than 20 minutes (or you can drive in less than half an hour - making it a feasible commute).

The village is also handy if you prefer to spend your time on the beach or the fells. 

You’ve got a choice of unspoiled beaches all less than half an hours drive away, or the north shore of Bassenthwaite is only 20 minutes drive (or a 60 minute bike ride) away.

So if you're torn between city buzz, sea breezes and National Park peace - this practical, peaceful and private home means you don’t have to choose.
