Caldew Bank, Sebergham, Carlisle, CA5 7HR

Caldew Bank is a beautifully refurbished two-bedroom period cottage, dating back to circa 1850, enjoying an elevated rural position with far-reaching views across the surrounding valley and open countryside.

The property has been fully renovated throughout and now offers stylish, low-maintenance accommodation with generous parking, a long garden and detached garage.

The cottage is accessed via a glazed entrance porch, flooded with natural light and providing a practical space for coats and boots, finished with hard-wearing flooring. Two steps lead up into a utility room / ground floor shower room, fitted with modern sanitaryware, vinyl flooring and shower boarding to the walls.

The heart of the home is the kitchen / dining room, fitted with grey shaker-style units and enhanced by timber panelling, creating a warm and characterful feel. A small oil-fired Rayburn sits within bespoke storage, complemented by an integrated oven and concealed spaces for a fridge and dishwasher.

The living room is a cosy and inviting space, featuring wood panelling and the original chimney breast (now closed), with a PVC door providing direct access to the garden.

To the first floor, the main bedroom is a generous double with built-in cupboards and a low-level window framing outstanding views over the valley. The second bedroom is also a comfortable double, enjoying the same impressive outlook. A well-appointed first-floor shower room completes the accommodation, finished in a rustic style with timber panelling.

Externally, the property benefits from a long, gently sloping garden, offering excellent flexibility and potential to be sectioned for different uses such as lawn, patio and vegetable plots. The upper section closest to the house has been landscaped with lawn, decorative stone pathways and raised beds. A new retaining wall has been constructed along the rear, providing access around the back of the property and onto the driveway. At the lower end of the garden is a detached garage, along with additional parking, with a pathway leading back up to the cottage.

The property further benefits from extensive improvement works, including new electrics, new plumbing, new kitchen and bathrooms, full redecoration, replacement lintels to the living room windows and doors, and the removal of a former extension to create a large parking area.
