Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac on the edge of Cumwhinton, High House is a substantial stone-built semi-detached cottage extended over time to create genuinely flexible family accommodation. Five reception rooms, four bedrooms and two bathrooms give scope for home working, children’s space and entertaining, while the converted garage provides a useful extra living room or playroom. The private rear garden with pergola and decent plot size suits outdoor family life and summer gatherings.
The house retains period character — exposed beams, stone facade and a freestanding clawfoot bath — yet it also shows signs of incremental alteration. Construction is traditional sandstone/limestone with assumed no wall insulation; double glazing is present but install dates are unknown. Mains services (gas, electric, water, drains) are connected, though boilers, radiators and other systems have not been tested and may need inspection or updating.
This home will suit families seeking village life with fast broadband, easy access to Carlisle and the M6, and a well-regarded primary school within walking distance. It also offers refurbishment potential for buyers who want to modernise heating, improve insulation and personalise interiors. Parking is convenient with ample off-street space. Note the property’s age and incremental extensions mean buyers should factor in maintenance and a possible programme of upgrading rather than expecting a fully modernised turnkey finish.
