Iona, Gelt Road, Brampton, CA8 1QH

Pretty As A Picture At The Front And The Views At The Back Are Even Better. A double fronted dormer bungalow on a large plot with countryside views. Inside there’s a modern kitchen, four reception rooms and a flexible layout with scope to make it your own. Property ref: KD0516

Set back from sought after Gelt Road, the front of Iona is genuinely lovely…and first impressions do matter. But here it's the second impression that really makes the difference - when you reach the sitting room at the back, with open fields stretching away beyond the dry stone wall, that’s when you'll realise you've found something worth getting excited about.

It’s been extended at the back to create more space, with large landscape windows running the full width of the sitting room. But there’s still plenty of space outside - the lawn at the back measures over 250 square metres in total, enclosed by dry stone walls with countryside stretching away behind them.

The modern kitchen is the other room that’s likely to stop people mid-viewing. It sits under a vaulted ceiling, and has real character - with cream shaker-style units and walnut block worktops, a matching island and a large picture window looking out over the garden. 

Back through the hall, the two bay fronted reception rooms have a completely different feel. They’re much more traditional but each have their own style, with one featuring an original cast iron fireplace, oak floor and period detailing that takes years to accumulate. 

The dining room sits opposite the bathroom in the middle of the house, giving the ground floor a natural flow that works well for family life (and will make an ideal ground floor bedroom if someone struggles with stairs). The bathroom has been modernised, with a dark slate and teal finish a walk-in wet room style shower.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms (two doubles and a single). If you don’t need all the upstairs bedroom space the layout lends itself to converting the smallest (middle) bedroom into a Jack and Jill ensuite serving the two larger rooms, with the downstairs shower room more than covering everyday needs in the meantime.

Gelt Road is one of Brampton's most sought-after addresses, and the town centre is only a 10 minute walk from the front door - with plenty of shops, pubs and places to eat all within easy reach. 

Carlisle is around 20 minutes in the car, and if you'd rather leave the car at home, there's a station on the Newcastle to Carlisle line about a mile out of town. 

The local primary school is rated “Good” by Ofsted and is less than a 20 minute walk away, with William Howard School for older children a similar distance.

Homes with this much space, this much potential and views like these don't come up on sought after Gelt Road very often - and when they do, they don't hang around! Get in touch to arrange a viewing and see it for yourself.
