If you want to a spacious modern home with an expanse of easily maintainable gardens, sublime views and the potential of adding stables and creating something bespoke to your needs in the garage, then look no further.

The house has been lovingly updated over the past few years to create an amazing home. You enter the hallway with staircase to the first floor, cloakroom at the end, and a brilliant fitted utility room with door to the rear garden. The utility is ideally placed to hang up your coats and kick off the muddy boots.

To the left of the hall is a door that leads you into the most spectacular open plan, living, dining and kitchen space. It really does have the wow factor. There is also a beautiful sunroom  opening out from this area. The perfect place to relax and take in the gorgeous views of the Lake District and Croglin fells. If you are very lucky you may just spot a steam train chugging along the Carlisle to Settle line.

The living area of this room has a log burner and although open plan, still has a cosy feel. The kitchen sits attractively at the opposite end, is fully fitted with German units, tall integrated fridge and freezer, dishwasher, two full sized ovens, induction hob and a Quooker tap. There is a sensational island which stretches from one side of the kitchen to the other. If you enjoy cooking and entertaining, you will love this kitchen. This fantastic open plan area, as well as the downstairs cloakroom benefits from underfloor heating. Nothing nicer than toastie feet in the winter months.

From the kitchen there are two additional rooms, currently being used as a study and play room. 

On the first floor there are four generous double bedrooms, one with a handy dressing area. Again the views from every angle upstairs are so beautiful. The family bathroom is something else! The walk in shower is huge, and the whole room has the feel of a posh hotel bathroom. It is contemporary and the bath is devine. It is very easy to imagine laying in the bath covered in bubbles, candles lit and letting your busy day soak away. 

Where the property gets even more exciting is in the garden. There is additional planning permission for stables and the garage is massive! It is currently used as a workshop and has a large electric garage door. This building is two story and has a generous balcony on the first floor. The potential of this building is thought provoking. Will it be your granny annex, teenage games room and den, sensational man cave, or maybe you will utilise it for business. Whatever you decide to use it for having breakfast on the balcony is a must. There's so much to see all around, the hours will just melt away.

Wrayside Cottage also benefits from an electric car charger and biomass boiler. There is a seven ton pellet hopper which feeds the boiler and if your business is registered to the property you can gain from quarterly RHI payments of approximately £2300 per annum.
