Plains Road,Wetheral,Carlisle,CA4 8LE

Savvy Buyers Aren’t Put Off By This Being An "Apartment." You get over 2,100 sq ft of stylish single-storey space, two sets of bifold doors to the garden and horses in the paddock behind. In gated grounds shared with only 1 neighbour, in the village everyone in Carlisle wants to call home. Property ref: KD0516

Wetheral has a well-deserved reputation as the kind of village where people move once and stay for life. A conservation village with a real community feel, surrounded by countryside, and close enough to Carlisle to make everyday life genuinely easy. Getting a foothold here at all is difficult. Getting one like this is truly rare.

Meadow View House sits behind electric gates on Plains Road - a handsome red brick building that you could mistake for a family home. Instead it’s shared between just two apartments. From the moment you arrive, it doesn't feel like a typical apartment block. It feels like somewhere special.

And once you're inside this ground floor apartment, the entrance hall alone sets the tone - wide, light and welcoming, with dark hardwood flooring. To one side is the lounge, stretching nearly 24ft, with a double-sided log burner sitting on a granite hearth, more dark hardwood floors and a vaulted ceiling that gives the whole space a real sense of occasion. Two sets of bifold doors open the room right up to the garden - one set faces directly out to the terrace and lawn, the other to the side. 

The kitchen and dining room runs to almost 20ft and has been finished to a high standard throughout - high-gloss cream cabinetry with dark granite worktops, a central island, integrated double ovens, a wine fridge and a large extractor over the hob. There's a separate utility room off the kitchen with its own stable door to outside, which takes the everyday laundry clutter well away from the main living space.

One of the real joys of this apartment is the private southwest facing garden. A large sandstone terrace sits directly off the bifold doors, perfect for morning coffee or summer evenings, and it opens onto a sweeping lawn bordered by mature planting and well-stocked herbaceous beds. At the far end, the garden boundary backs onto a paddock with open fields behind.

The main bedroom is a calm, well-proportioned room with fitted oak wardrobes and a dedicated ensuite shower room. Bedroom two is another generous double with plenty of natural light. The study - with its own garden-facing window - works brilliantly as a home office, a reading room or a third bedroom for guests. There's also a smart family shower room finished in dark slate-effect tiling with a walk-in enclosure.

Underfloor heating runs throughout. The double garage sits within the secure gated grounds. Solar panels are fitted to the garage roof.

The centre of Wetheral village is on your doorstep - a post office, a village shop, a well-regarded pub and walks along the River Eden that most people living in Carlisle would make a day trip of. The railway station is about a ten-minute walk, with direct trains into Carlisle city centre taking less than ten minutes.

The word "apartment" really doesn't do this place justice. Anyone looking for stylish single storey living who walks away from this one will spend a long time wondering why…
