Goldington Drive, Appleby-in-Westmorland, CA16

If you’ve ever dreamed of finding a home that feels private, peaceful and just that little bit tucked away, then 82 Goldington Drive will absolutely delight you. Hidden in one of the most secluded parts of the Bongate Cross development, this home sits quietly at the very end of the road, so there’s no passing traffic, just calm, birdsong, and a wonderful sense of space.

The smart block-paved approach gives a polished welcome, extending onto a double driveway with a garage adjoining its neighbour’s. The house itself is striking in crisp white render with jet-black detailing, with quoins, lintels, porch canopy and a sleek composite door setting the tone for what lies within. Stand at the front steps for a moment and you’ll see why this spot is so special: the green swathe rolls out before you, and when the sun sets to the west, the skies put on the most beautiful show. And, for all this privacy, the town is only a short stroll away.

Step inside and the sense of style continues. Engineered oak flooring sweeps through the hallway and into the lounge, with oak doors adding a touch of craftsmanship throughout. The kitchen is a star feature, refitted in 2021 and finished with a keen eye for detail. Sleek Amtico flooring, marble-effect worktops and brushed chrome fittings give it a modern edge, while the porcelain sink and herringbone tiled splashback add a classic twist. Integrated appliances, clever under-cabinet lighting and a chic breakfast bar beneath pendant lights make this a kitchen that is both practical and effortlessly stylish.

Even the downstairs WC is worth mentioning, with panelled walls, a pedestal sink and bold safari-print wallpaper that prove function and flair can go hand in hand.

The lounge is a wonderfully inviting space, with a statement palm-leaf feature wall, a bespoke media unit and a contemporary electric fire creating instant atmosphere. Throw open the patio doors and you’ll find yourself under a sheltered seating area, perfect for enjoying the garden whatever the season.

Upstairs, the master bedroom feels serene and grown-up, with soft sage panelling, gentle décor and a stylish en suite shower room. Bedroom three is currently used as a dressing room, with sleek mirrored wardrobes offering plenty of storage. Bedroom two, currently a nursery, is just as appealing, beautifully styled with French grey panelling, west-facing views and a wall of mirrored wardrobes that catch the last of the evening light. The family bathroom is equally charming, with a deep bath, muted tones, rustic oak shelving and contemporary tiling.

The home continues to surprise with thoughtful extras. A utility room with additional cabinetry and space for appliances leads through to the dining room extension, completed in 2021. This is a fantastic entertaining space, complete with herringbone oak flooring and underfloor heating. With room for a large dining table and wide tri-fold doors opening to the garden, it is a room designed for gathering and celebrating.

And then there is the garden, a true showpiece. Indian sandstone patios, a swathe of lawn, a chunky pergola strung with ambient lighting, a firepit, and even an outdoor bar make this the perfect setting for summer evenings and weekend parties. The garage, with power, lighting and additional appliances, doubles as a practical workspace or overflow entertaining hub. As the outdoor lighting comes to life at dusk, the garden transforms into something magical.

82 Goldington Drive is more than just a house. It is a stylish, private and thoughtfully designed home that balances everyday comfort with real flair. Whether it is the peaceful cul-de-sac setting, the high-quality interiors, or the incredible entertaining spaces, this property offers something truly special
