Welcome to Millfield House, Cumwhinton, a wonderful and deceptively spacious three/four-bedroom detached family home that immediately impresses with its sense of quality, versatility and thoughtful design, offering modern living that has been carefully tailored to suit the demands of contemporary family life - QUOTE LI0465.

Benefiting from generous off-road parking, low-maintenance yet attractive gardens and the rare advantage of a fully converted former garage to the rear, now providing an exceptional home office or studio space ideal for today’s work-from-home lifestyle.

This charming and highly adaptable detached home is rich in modern touches and finished with a warmth that is felt the moment you arrive, sitting comfortably within the ever-popular village of Cumwhinton, to the south of Carlisle, where a peaceful village atmosphere blends seamlessly with excellent accessibility, creating an enviable balance between rural tranquillity and everyday convenience.

From the very first approach, Millfield House creates an outstanding first impression, with its welcoming frontage, neatly kept lawn and substantial driveway combining to set the tone for what lies beyond, and as you step through the front door you are immediately met with a sense of space and calm that confirms you have arrived somewhere special, making the start of the viewing feel both exciting and reassuring in equal measure.

The property opens into a generous and well-proportioned entrance hallway, which provides an excellent sense of arrival while also offering practical everyday functionality, and this space is further enhanced by the presence of a convenient downstairs cloakroom, ensuring that the needs of family life and visiting guests are easily catered for without compromise.

The main living room is a wonderfully inviting space, generous in size and centred around an open fire that creates a cosy and atmospheric focal point during the colder months, while its seamless flow into the conservatory allows the room to adapt beautifully throughout the seasons, providing a light-filled and sociable area that works just as well for quiet evenings in as it does for entertaining friends and family.

The conservatory itself is a standout feature, flooded with natural light and enjoying a strong connection to the garden via French doors that open directly onto the rear outdoor space, making it an ideal spot to relax with a book, enjoy family meals or host summer gatherings where indoor and outdoor living blend effortlessly together.

Also located on the ground floor is a highly versatile additional room, currently used as a games room, which offers exceptional flexibility and could equally serve as a fourth bedroom, playroom, snug or additional reception space depending on individual needs, making it a particularly valuable feature for growing families or those requiring adaptable accommodation.

At the heart of the home lies the stunning kitchen and dining room, a truly impressive space that has been designed to combine striking contemporary style with everyday practicality, boasting an abundance of sleek work surfaces and storage solutions that make it as functional as it is visually appealing, and creating a natural hub for cooking, dining, entertaining and day-to-day family life.

This exceptional kitchen is comprehensively equipped with a wealth of high-quality features, including LED under-unit lighting, an integrated wine cooler, integral microwave, two separate induction hobs, three ovens and a substantial American-style fridge freezer with water dispenser, while the slim, modern worktops and superb breakfast bar area elevate the space further, providing the perfect setting for informal dining, socialising or honing your culinary skills in true MasterChef style.

Rising to the first floor, the property continues to deliver in terms of space and comfort, offering three generously proportioned double bedrooms, all of which are well presented and filled with natural light, with the principal bedroom enjoying the added luxury of its own en-suite shower room, creating a private retreat that feels calm and indulgent at the end of a busy day.

Completing the upstairs accommodation is a contemporary family bathroom, stylishly fitted with a bath and overhead shower, and designed to be both practical and visually pleasing, providing a smart and functional space that comfortably serves the needs of a busy household.

Externally, Millfield House continues to impress with outdoor spaces that have been carefully designed to be both attractive and easy to maintain, ensuring they enhance everyday living without demanding excessive upkeep.

To the front of the property, a neatly laid lawn complements the substantial driveway, which provides off-road parking for several vehicles and removes any concerns about parking when returning home, whether after a long day at work or a busy family outing.

The rear garden is particularly appealing for those seeking low-maintenance outdoor space, featuring a combination of paved and decked areas that are ideal for summer evenings, outdoor dining and entertaining, while still offering a pleasant and private environment in which to relax and unwind.

A real highlight of the property is the dedicated outside office or studio, formerly a garage and now fully converted and insulated, complete with power and lighting, creating an exceptional work-from-home space, creative studio or hobby room that is entirely separate from the main house and perfectly suited to modern working requirements.

The location of the property significantly adds to its overall appeal, with Cumwhinton long recognised as one of the most sought-after villages on the outskirts of Carlisle, celebrated for its friendly community feel and excellent range of everyday amenities, including a popular village shop, a welcoming public house and a well-loved coffee shop, all of which contribute to the village’s distinctive charm and strong sense of identity.

Families are particularly well catered for, with the highly regarded Cumwhinton Primary School located just a short walk away, while older children benefit from access to a number of respected secondary schools in the surrounding area, including Caldew School in Dalston and William Howard School in Brampton, both of which are easily reached.

Although enjoying a peaceful village environment, Cumwhinton remains exceptionally well connected, lying less than a 15-minute drive from Carlisle city centre and offering straightforward access to the M6 motorway and A69, while the nearby village of Wetheral provides a convenient railway station with direct links to the West Coast Main Line, connecting to major cities such as London, Birmingham and Glasgow.

For those who value outdoor living, the area is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with a variety of riverside walks, woodland trails and scenic routes close at hand, and for longer adventures, the stunning landscapes of the Lake District National Park and the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty are both within comfortable driving distance, offering endless opportunities for exploration, leisure and relaxation.
