Drawbriggs Court, Appleby-In-Westmorland

Positioned at the head of a quiet cul-de-sac on the popular Drawbriggs Court, this well-presented detached dormer bungalow enjoys an elevated setting above the historic market town of Appleby-in-Westmorland, with lovely open views across the rooftops towards Appleby Castle and the distant fells beyond. Offering versatile accommodation across two floors, the property features three well-proportioned bedrooms — one currently used as a ground floor study — two bathrooms, and an inviting reception room perfect for both relaxing and entertaining. Outside, attractive gardens wrap around three sides of the home, providing a wonderful private outdoor space, while a large garage and driveway parking for multiple vehicles add everyday practicality. Situated on the edge of town, residents enjoy the tranquillity of suburban living alongside easy access to Appleby's local amenities, train station, and the surrounding Cumbrian countryside — a rare combination that makes this a truly special place to call home.

Ground Floor - Entered via a welcoming entrance porch with laminate flooring, the ground floor is centred around a bright and sociable layout. The hallway, with its attractive open-tread staircase, leads to a front-facing living room where a uPVC double glazed window frames views across the rooftops towards Appleby Castle. Part-glazed double doors connect the living room through to the kitchen/dining room, which runs the full width of the rear of the property and is an excellent space for everyday family life and entertaining alike. The fitted kitchen features painted wooden base units, a pale green worksurface, and a stainless steel sink, with space provided for a freestanding cooker and fridge/freezer. The dining area is filled with natural light from patio doors and windows to the rear and side, opening directly onto the garden.

A practical utility room provides space for laundry appliances alongside a stainless steel sink, worktop, and a wall-mounted Vaillant condensing combi boiler, with a stable-style composite door leading out to the side of the property. A downstairs cloakroom with WC and wash basin adds everyday convenience, while a versatile front-aspect room — currently used as a study — lends itself equally well as a third bedroom or additional reception room.

A gated side garden leads through a charming pergola to a lovely flagged rear terrace, complete with a gravel bed, block-paved seating area, a greenhouse, and a shed — a wonderful space for gardeners and outdoor entertaining alike.
