4 bed detached bungalow for sale

East Lodge, Houghton House CA6

East Lodge is a hidden gem located in a peaceful location close to Carlisle. It is a deceptively spacious four bedroom detached bungalow, with off road parking and a detached single garage. The property has been lovingly cared for by the current owner and is good order throughout. There are good views across open farmland.

The Accommodation

The front door greets a spacious hallway with coat rack. The first room on the left is a bedroom, but is currently used as a hobby room with useful cupboard storage. Next we find the family bathroom which has a bath with mains shower over, a WC and wash basin with storage cupboards above. The walls are tiled around the bath/shower area and there is a glazed shower screen. There are two further double bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a study, and also a master bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room with WC, wash basin and heated towel rail. There is also a walk-in wardrobe with plumbing for a washing machine.

The modern fitted kitchen has storage aplenty with an island unit, Bosch double electric ovens, Bosch hob with extractor fan over and a 1.5 sink with a mixer tap. The main sitting room has a log burning stove in the corner and a dining area close to the kitchen. The piece de resistance is the sun room, with vaulted ceiling, log burning stove, and picture windows and glazed double doors to the garden.

Externally, the property has a single garage accessed via a right of away over neighbouring land. There is off road parking and good sized grounds (c. 0.12 acres total site area). The gardens are a combination of lawn with flower beds and mature shrubs.

Location Summary

Approached along an unmade private road, with shared repairing liabilities. From Junction 44 of the M6 take the exit east on the A689 sign posted to Brampton and Houghton. In less than a mile take the left turn signed for Scaleby and Hethersgill. After around 0.1 miles take a left turn at which point there should be a large brick barn on your right. Carry on up the track and the property is around 0.4 miles on your left.

The location has a rural feel, but is close to major transport links, schools and amenities in Carlisle and surrounding villages. Good views from the property.
