Burrells, Appleby-in-Westmorland, CA16

Constructed to exacting standards in the late 1960's is this fabulous residence - with expansive accommodation over two floors, this property offers so much more than meets the eye. Enjoying up to five bedrooms, ample reception rooms, three bathrooms and adjoining garage, coupled with a fabulous plot extending to around 1.5 acres (0.61 ha) and circa 5.5 acre (2.23 ha) paddock, the opportunity on offer is incredibly vast!

Having only ever changed hands on the open market just the once (in 2015), do not miss out on an incredibly rare opportunity to acquire this deceptively large, bungalow-style, property, which enjoys the sympathetic inclusion of period charm and the characteristics of the mansion house located in the neighbouring grounds, from which the original owners took their inspiration.

Enjoying rural views and gardens that house an array of beautiful plants, shrubs and trees, along with a pond occupied by numerous fish and delightful lily pads, this is a home that would cater well to a range of lifestyles. There are endless possibilities ... for those who like to enjoy a self-sufficient lifestyle, there is a vegetable patch, greenhouse, orchard and level lawn - which, having started off as the tennis court to the mansion house and would be fabulous for use as a kitchen garden, whilst the paddock is ideal for those who wish to acquire a rural residence that could work as a small-holding or for equestrian facilities.

This fine residence is ready for new custodians to further enhance the property and make it their own. With a number of upgrades made by the current owner that have positively attributed to the dwelling, the accommodation briefly comprises the following accommodation on the ground floor: entrance porch, shower room, impressive hallway with galleried landing, kitchen/diner, dining room, utility, WC, sunroom, study, living room, sitting room, three double bedrooms, bathroom and additional ensuite and dressing room. To the first floor there are ample storage options and two further double bedrooms - one with basin and currently used as a games room.

The adjoining garage houses a workshop and two storage areas with mezzanine level and the private driveway provides ample parking space.

Given the versatility of this property, an early viewing is highly advised. It offers a delightful home to those with a desire to live in a generous, privately appointed house, with their own paddock and extensive grounds ... don't miss out!
