About this property
Sitting on the grounds of Grade II-listed Garth House, this magnificent property offers the perfect base for families and groups of friends planning adventures across the Cumbrian countryside and North Pennines National Landscape. The market town of Brampton (0.5 miles) charms with its wealth of independent shops and choice of pubs, restaurants and cafes for the nights you don’t fancy cooking. The world-famous Hadrian’s Wall passes nearby for keen history buffs – visit Walltown Quarry Country Park and the Roman Army Museum (both within 10 miles) to soak up the local heritage. Closer to home, Gelt Woods and Talkin Tarn Country Park (both within 3.5 miles) offer lovely spots for walking, water sports and fishing. For more dramatic days of hiking, the property provides easy access to the North Pennines (3.5 miles) and the Lake District (21.5 miles). Days of shopping, attraction-hunting and eating out are also within reach, with bustling Carlisle awaiting 10 miles away.
Approach this high-end, red local sandstone property along a cute garden path that leads to the front door, opening into a handsome entrance space perfect for kicking off muddy walking boots. Be greeted by a light and airy, spacious living area with an open-plan design combining an inviting lounge with a well-appointed kitchen and dining area. This social heart of the home invites guests to spread out and relax after days of Cumbrian adventure. On balmy days, slide open the garden doors to let the fresh countryside air fill the home. Unwind in the lounge space; sink into the soft seating and flick on the Smart TV for easy entertainment. When stomachs rumble, a sleek kitchen stands ready for cooking up holiday feasts, to be enjoyed at the central dining table, at the kitchen island if numbers are low, or alfresco style up on the roof terrace. At the end of each busy day away, three fantastic bedrooms are spread across the first and second floors. Choose from two super-king-size bedrooms on the first floor, both with en-suite shower rooms and storage space, and a second-floor super-king-size room with a wow-factor copper bath and an en-suite shower room with a walk-in shower.
Outside, make full use of the enchanting roof terrace with its uninterrupted rural views, soft seating, and outdoor dining furniture – perfect for scenic al fresco meals together. Guests will also benefit from a private and enclosed garden with more outdoor seating and that all-important hot tub for nights spent bubbling under starry skies. An on-site indoor swimming pool offers private 1-hour slots each day, while off-road parking for three cars means you can come and go with ease. Please note the swimming pool is for those over the age of four only.
