Calva, Upton, Wigton CA7

Calva is a spacious, five bedroom property, perfectly located in the popular and picturesque village of Caldbeck, nestled on the northern edge of the Lake District National Park.

Calva has been owned by the current family for 33 years and was their main residence until 2018 when it was then used as a successful Holiday rental. Entering the property a spacious boot room is the perfect place to keep coats and boots after a scenic walk, of which there are plenty in the area. A downstairs cloakroom is also located from here and has enough space to double as a laundry room.

Via the main hallway you gain access the Living room. This cosy space benefits from views to the front of the property and an open fireplace, the perfect place to snuggle up and relax after a day on the fells. In the adjacent room, a large kitchen dining room acts as the communal space to sit, eat and relax. The kitchen units offer ample storage, space for two fridges or freezers and a large range style cooker with five electric hobs, two ovens and a grill. The dining area can accommodate a large dining table, currently shown with an 8-seat variant. French doors also open to give access to a sheltered and private patio area for alfresco dining.

The Garden room or Family room is a bright and airy space, offering fabulous panoramic views of the garden. Wooden flooring provides a warm, cosy feeling, and an additional set of French doors offer further access to the patio and garden space. A spiral staircase can also be found in this room, providing direct access up to the primary bedroom.

Upstairs Calva boasts four double bedrooms plus a smaller, single room, currently used as a store for the holiday rental business. The guest double bedrooms all offer built in storage space while the generous primary bedroom features an en suite bathroom and vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and fantastic views of the garden and Caldbeck fells beyond. A recently refurbished family bathroom is tastefully styled and benefits from a shower over bath, double sink with vanity storage and a large mirror giving a sense of space and natural light.
