Glen Cottage is a secluded four-bedroom detached cottage set over three floors, tucked within over half an acre of mature gardens, orchard and adjoining woodland. The house balances character features — cast-iron spiral staircase, log-burning/multifuel stove and generous raised decking — with a modern open-plan kitchen, sunroom and contemporary four-piece family bathroom. The upper-level suite offers a bedroom, ensuite and large walk-in dressing room that could serve as a fourth bedroom if required.
This property will suit families or buyers seeking a peaceful rural retreat with convenient access to Carlisle and nearby villages. The layout is flexible: ground-floor living opens onto the elevated deck for outdoor dining, the sunroom overlooks the garden and a utility room provides practical mudroom access from the rear. There is off-street parking for multiple vehicles and numerous garden sheds, an established orchard, vegetable area and grape vines offering immediate hobby-gardening potential.
Buyers should note a few practical points: broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal only average, which may affect home working; glazing install dates are unknown; council tax is above average; and the house is in a remote hamlet setting, so daily amenities require short drives. The property is chain-free and freehold, but as with older, characterful homes buyers are advised to commission independent surveys to check services and structure before purchase.
Overall, Glen Cottage offers a rare combination of privacy, character and flexible family accommodation. It will particularly appeal to those who value outdoor space, established gardens and a serene countryside setting, while accepting the trade-offs of remoteness and limited digital connectivity.
