Magical forever home ready and waiting to impress you, welcome to Low Hurst House, sitting pretty in just over a third of an acre there is not a finger to lift to move in and enjoy living here, but there is certainly opportunity to make changes depending on your lifestyle needs...
This property is bursting with character and charming quirks, including two staircases, three front doors, three back doors, two heating systems, three multifuel stoves and whilst there is a pear tree in the garden, we did not find a partridge in it!
The approach to the property is along a private lane, owned by the property and giving access to just a handful of other homes, there is parking for 3-4 cars to the front, plus private gated access to a large driveway providing ample additional parking. Entering via the door in the sandstone side porch you are transported into a vibrant, welcoming hallway, with access to reception rooms 1 & 2, the first staircase which leads up to bedrooms 2 & 3, the family bathroom and then finally opening into the gorgeous family room with sandstone inglenook fireplace. The family room gives access to the rustic oak kitchen, complete with stable door out to the glorious rear sandstone patio, you also gain access to the inner hallway from the family room. The boot room is the second front door you could use, which opens into the inner hallway, and this leads to the cloakroom & WC, and to the foot of the second staircase. The top of the second staircase you will find an arched picture window to the rear garden and the door to the master suite, with exposed A beams and vaulted ceiling, built in storage, plus a walk in wardrobe and en-suite. Back on the ground floor the next room is the snug, with glazed door to the rear garden and 2 steps leading up to the rear hallway. This vaulted ceiling hallway gives you the third front door and also the third back door, with the fourth bedroom, second bathroom and utility room (previously a kitchen) all with vaulted ceilings and bags of character.
Currently utilised to accommodate a family who just love their own space, it would be easy (STP) to create separate multigenerational living or Airbnb/holiday let /WFH facilities and that does not even take into account the 3 stables that are used for workshop / storage at the moment!
Low Hurst House is an enviable opportunity to own a stunning home, with magical woodland gardens including a secluded tree stump seating around the campfire for toasting marshmallows, take it as it is, or make it so much more, what are you waiting for?
Low Hurst House sits privately in a small cluster of homes, just 0.8 miles to the north of the village of Wreay. Wreay itself is a picturesque rural village around 5 miles to the south of the city of Carlisle which lies on the River Petteril and even has its own community flag. It is well connected for easy access and the M6, A6 and West Coast Main Line railway all skirt the village. With plenty going on in Wreay, you will be pleased to discover a village hall, a 'Good' OFSTED rated C of E Primary School, a popular village pub, The Plough Inn and the beautiful St Mary's Church located next to the lovely village green. The church was designed by Sara Losh in around 1835, and is notable as the earliest known example in Britain of a revival of Lombard architecture, it is a Grade II* listed building and well worth a visit.
Mains electricity and water & part oil central heating and part Flow Gas central heating with gas tank and oil tank located in garden; double glazing installed throughout. Please note: The mention of any appliances/services within these particulars does not imply that they are in full and efficient working order.
