The Property
Crofton Hall Farm is an eye catching detached house set within unspoiled open countryside and a rural community, yet within easy reach of the regional capital of Carlisle and all it has to offer. The attractive red stone and render property is immaculately presented with neutral décor and is ready to move straight into. It is incredibly light and airy, and includes some lovely features such as wooden internal doors throughout and a dual fuel stove set within a stone inglenook fireplace in the sitting room.

The large entrance hall opens onto a fantastic sitting room and garden room, the latter with exposed wooden ceiling beams, underfloor heating, double doors out into the garden and fabulous views across the fields. Light floods in through the many windows and creates a wonderful and homely place to relax and entertain. Across the other side of the entrance hall is the kitchen/dining room with an excellent range of wooden wall and floor units and integrated appliances including a double oven, dishwasher and electric hob. There is ample space for a good sized table and chairs beside the double doors into the garden, to enjoy further magnificent views whilst dining. Off the kitchen is a useful utility room plumbed for a washing machine and with space for a tumble dryer and large fridge/freezer. A WC and a handy porch can be found to the rear of the house.

A beautiful oak staircase leads up from the entrance hall to the first floor, where the principal bedroom runs the full length of the house, with windows on three sides to take in the spectacular, far-reaching views, and a smart en-suite shower room. The two further double bedrooms, one with built-in wardrobe, are served by a well-presented family bathroom with shower cubicle and separate bath.

Accessed via a gated tarmacadam driveway leading to paved parking for several vehicles, Crofton Hall Farm sits in the centre of a generous plot with private lawns, mature trees and amazing open countryside views. A raised gravel area beside the house is perfect for growing a variety of plants and shrubs.
