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.

FIRST FLOOR
The first floor landing is a generous, open space currently put to good use as a reading and hobby area, with a Velux window and drop-down loft ladder providing access to a boarded roof space ideal for storage. A recessed airing cupboard with shelving is also found here.
Two well-proportioned double bedrooms sit to the front of the property, both enjoying wonderful dormer window views across the rooftops of Appleby to the distant fells — a real feature of this home. The principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and a private en suite shower room, which is fitted with a WC, wash basin, and a generous shower enclosure with a mains-fed rainfall shower head. The second double bedroom is a bright and comfortable room of excellent proportions. The family bathroom is fitted with a WC, wash basin, and steel bath, and is served by an extractor fan and shaver point.

Outside
The property's grounds are one of its most impressive features, extending attractively around three sides of the home. To the front, a well-kept lawn is framed by established shrub beds and borders. 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. A lower area of the garden presents real potential as a productive kitchen garden. The generous side lawn also offers genuine scope for extending the property, subject to the necessary planning consents.
A tarmac driveway provides off-road parking for three to four vehicles and extends to a large detached garage/workshop fitted with an up-and-over door, light, power, and windows to the side.
