Scaleby, Carlisle, CA6 4LU

A Superb Rural Bungalow With A Large Garden And Countryside Views - But You May Be Most Excited About The Garage! If you’re a petrolhead, a crafter or into DIY the detached garage may get your mind racing. Or could it even become an Airbnb annexe?

Scaleby is a small rural village around 6 miles north of Carlisle (it’ll take around 20 minutes to drive to the city centre). 

And Silverdene is an immaculate detached bungalow, sitting on a 985m² (10,600ft²) plot with gorgeous gardens that wrap around the property.

It’s in an idyllic spot, with open fields stretching as far as the eye can see at the front of the property. You can wake up to those inspiring views every day as the master bedroom (with a stylish ensuite) is at the front, looking out over the front garden to the fields stretching into the distance.

And if you are in any way creative, you may feel energised by the inspiring setting to act. If so, the detached double garage is the perfect place to bring your creativity to life.

It’s a double garage, with space for 2 cars (one in front of the other). But it would be such a waste just to use it to park the car or fill it full of storage boxes. 

Restoring classic cars would be more fitting. Or using it as an artists workshop or studio. With light, power and plenty of windows you’re only limited by your imagination.

And that might include turning it into a granny flat or Airbnb annexe.

If you were looking to attract holiday guests the unspoilt location - close to the Scottish border, the Solway Firm AONB and of course Carlisle would make it a popular place to stay.

Getting back to the main house, it’s an immaculate single storey home with four  bedrooms (two doubles and two singles).

There are two reception rooms that have been opened up to create a superb sociable space. There’s a traditional style log burner in the lounge and space for a large dining table in the dining room.  

The fabulous fitted kitchen has plenty of storage space in the shaker style fitted units, a Belfast sink and a breakfast bar.

The luxurious four piece family bathroom has both a wetroom style walk in shower and a modern freestanding bath. 

The lawned garden is immaculate and wraps around three sides of the property, ensuring you can enjoy the sun throughout the day. There’s a choice of seating areas at the front and back of the house - you can enjoy your morning coffee on the patio at the back before moving round to the front later in the day.

If you do decide to put the garage to a creative use there’s still space to park several cars on the drive.

Scaleby is a great little village if you work in Carlisle or need to regularly visit the city but want to live in a more peaceful setting.

It takes less than 20 minutes to drive to the city centre. If you’re heading further afield it’s only 8 minutes from Junction 44 of the M6, where you’ll also find the Kingstown Retail Park with McDonalds and a choice of big name retailers.

This is an exceptional single storey home which gives you the perfect blend of quiet village tranquillity with close-to-the-city convenience. And the detached double garage is bound to be a bonus - whether you’re thinking of using it to indulge your hobbies or turn it into separate guest accommodation.

It goes without saying that I’m expecting plenty of interest - so call me to arrange a viewing.
