Murton View, Appleby-in-Westmorland, CA16

Welcome home to Murton View…

A one-bedroom first-floor apartment tucked away in a quiet residential cul-de-sac, within walking distance of Appleby-in-Westmorland town centre. Offering well-proportioned living space, excellent potential to add your own personal touch and, perhaps most notably, beautiful views of the historic Appleby Castle, this is a property with plenty to offer.

Upon entering, a small entrance vestibule leads to the staircase, with the main accommodation arranged across the first floor. The living room is a generous, square-shaped space with a large window overlooking Murton View. A deep windowsill provides an ideal spot for displaying photographs and treasured possessions, while the west-facing aspect brings in the afternoon and evening light. The room also benefits from an electric night storage heater and provides access to the bedroom’s en-suite facilities.

The bedroom is a comfortable double, enjoying a south-easterly aspect and those truly special views across to Appleby Castle. A striking feature of the local landscape, the castle’s impressive Norman keep has stood for centuries, with a rich history dating back to the 12th century. Its commanding position above the town makes it an iconic sight, and having this historic landmark as part of the everyday outlook is a real highlight of the property. Two useful cupboards provide additional storage, one offering hanging space and shelving, while the other houses the pressurised hot water cylinder.

The en-suite shower room comprises a pedestal wash basin, shower enclosure and electric shower, with a separate WC conveniently located off the landing at the top of the stairs.

The kitchen is another particularly appealing space, with further views towards Appleby Castle from the sink. Fitted with a range of soft beech-effect wall and base units, black laminate work surfaces and a tiled border, the kitchen offers practical storage and preparation space. A freestanding green Belling cooker with a four-ring halogen hob, top oven and grill, and main oven adds character, while plumbing for a washing machine and space for an under-counter fridge complete the facilities. There is also room for a small dining table, making this a versatile space for everyday meals.

Throughout, the property has a neutral colour scheme, with almond-white walls and chocolate-coloured carpeting. While some cosmetic updating could enhance the interiors, the apartment offers a sound foundation for a buyer looking to make a home their own.

Externally, the property benefits from an allocated parking space for one vehicle. A communal drying area is located to the right hand side of the property. There is no private garden or outdoor garden space, although the town centre and its amenities are within comfortable walking distance.

With its peaceful setting, practical layout and exceptional outlook towards one of Appleby’s most recognisable landmarks, 14A Murton View could appeal to a range of buyers. It presents an opportunity for a first-time buyer looking to take their first step onto the property ladder, as well as an investor seeking a property with potential in the local rental market.

Thoughts from the Owners....

"We have owned 14A Murton View for over 20 years and it has proved to be a very successful rental. We have always had great tenants who have loved the quiet location and of course, those views of the castle!

With some cosmetic upgrades, this flat could easily be a very comfortable home for someone who enjoys being close to the cafes, bars, shops and river walks. Murton View is a lovely Cul de Sac where the neighbours look out for each other and there is a real community feel”
