Summary - ALPINE COTTAGE RAUGHTON HEAD CARLISLE CA5 7DD
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Versatile five-bedroom home with generous gardens and excellent parking.
Half-acre private plot with mature hedging and patios
Tucked behind electric gates in the village of Raughton Head, this detached five-bedroom home sits on a very large half-acre plot that will suit growing families who value privacy and outdoor space. The house has been reconfigured for modern living, centred on a striking open-plan kitchen, dining and living area that opens to paved patios for effortless indoor–outdoor entertaining.
Comfortable everyday living continues in the generous sitting room, where feature wood panelling and a multi-fuel stove create a cosy focal point. A versatile ground-floor room with en-suite works well as a guest suite, home office, or a fifth bedroom for multigenerational arrangements. Upstairs, a galleried landing, main bedroom with fitted wardrobes and upgraded en-suite, plus three further bedrooms and a family bathroom give flexible sleeping arrangements.
Outside, mature hedging and lawns provide seclusion and multiple patio areas, with a detached garden room for hobbies or workspace. Practical features include triple glazing, an integral double garage with electric doors, secure driveway parking and LPG-fired central heating. The village location offers a primary school, church and countryside walks, with Carlisle and the Lake District within commuting range.
Buyers should note a current EPC rating of E, reliance on LPG (not a mains gas supply), and private sewage via a septic tank. Broadband speeds are average locally, and council tax is in the higher band. Overall, the property offers substantial family accommodation and a large private plot, but expect ongoing running costs and some energy-efficiency upgrade potential.
