Crosby-on-Eden, Carlisle, CA6 4QN

Draw Back Your Curtains And Take In The Lovely River Views. Then after breakfast you can throw yourself into village life. This spacious family home is in a tranquil spot by the river but still handy for the M6, with an "Outstanding" village school.

There can’t be a much better way to start each morning than waking up to views of the River Eden flowing past the end of your back garden. 

And with all three bedrooms at the rear having riverbank views, you don’t have to argue over who gets the ‘best’ bedroom.

This versatile family home is in the peaceful village of Crosby-on-Eden. It’s a handy spot that feels rural and peaceful yet it’s only a short drive from Carlisle and the M6.

If you’re a busy modern family, this house is perfectly suited to our busy modern family lives.

The spacious lounge has a quirky 1970’s style wood burner which gives the room a uniquely funky retro style.

If you’re a formal dinner party kind of family the separate dining room is a little more refined and will be perfect for breaking out your finest crystal glassware.

The kitchen / diner is a good size. There’s plenty of room in the fitted units and space for a dining table and chairs. You also have a handy utility room next to the kitchen so none of the precious kitchen cupboard space is wasted.

Of all the rooms in this high quality modern home the kitchen is the one you may want to update first.

You may just replace the units or you could think about opening up the utility room or even the garage to create a larger, more sociable space.

The built-in garage is big enough for a modern car to fit inside but as nobody parks their cars in garages these days (especially with parking on the drive) it could be converted. 

You’ve got so many options for how to use it - it could be used to create a superb, even bigger kitchen or turned into a home gym, office or a downstairs bedroom.

Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms, each with riverbank views. One has an ensuite shower room and the other a substantial dressing room. It used to be the 4th bedroom and it would be a simple enough job to turn it back into a bedroom if required. 

This tranquil village could be the perfect place to bring up a young family. The village primary school, rated "Outstanding" by Ofsted, is just a three-minute walk away. 

While younger children benefit from a top-notch education in the village, older kids have a good choice of secondary schools in Brampton or Carlisle. This includes the prestigious Austin Friars independent day school.

Living in Crosby-on-Eden means you're only a 15-minute drive from Carlisle city centre and six minutes from Junction 44 of the M6.

This superb family home offers you the perfect mix of a peaceful village with the convenience of being close to town and the motorway. It’s ready to move into but gives you plenty of scope if you want to make it your own.
