. This most delightful detached Grade II Listed home, being a Georgian property with Victorian additions, sits amid a matured 1.3 acre garden site including paddocks (with water supply, used previoulsy for pony). Located one-and-a-half miles east of the city centre just beyond the historic hamlet of Rickerby, and set amid delightful Cumbrian countryside to the north of the River Eden. The Beeches further benefits from a detached one bedroomed annex/granny cottage, ideal for housing a dependant relative or as a potential income stream.

SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION

The Beeches presents a rare opportunity to acquire an aesthetically appealing home, set within a generously proportioned and matured garden site with additional paddock and range of outbuildings. The property offers considerable privacy, being set amid open countryside to the east of the city beyond Rickerby Park and to the north of the River Eden. A further merit is the delightful self-contained and detached annex which provides generous, one bedroomed accommodation entirely suitable for a dependant relative or with change of use, the opportunity to create an office suite and the like. The current accommodation could readily provide a useful income stream as a rental property.

Being a mere one-and-a-half miles east of Carlisle city centre, and approached via delightful parkland, The Beeches will find favour with discerning buyers looking to enjoy rural living, yet also looking for the convenience of ready access to city amenities as well as transport links. The speedy, west coast Virgin railway gives easy access south to London, and north to Glasgow/Edinburgh, whilst easy access to J.44 of the M.6 offers road links north and south, as well as easy access via Brampton and the A.69 to Newcastle - Newcastle Airport within one hour's drive.

The Border City of Carlisle sits amid adjacent areas of contrasting, outstanding natural beauty, including the Eden Valley running south and linking into the Lake District National Park. To the west there is ready access to the Solway coastal strip, and immediately to the north is the Borders area with Scotland, and of course the World Heritage Site which is Hadrian's Wall, the route of which passes close by the subject property.

Internally, The Beeches benefits from a host of attractive period features including original fireplaces, delightful low cilled windows, panelled doors and the like. A particular feature is the arched window to the half landing benefiting from superb finely crafted, period timber tracery. The overall effect is a comfortable well proportioned home benefiting from a country feel to the kitchen which includes an oil fired Aga. Modern sanitaryware is provided to the bathroom and shower room facilities.
