4 bedroom detached house

This Immaculate Four Bedroom Detached Was Great When Story Homes Built It In 2016 - It’s Even Better Now! It’s now a versatile and sociable family home that gives you a fantastic chance to enjoy life in one of Carlisle’s most sought after villages. Property ref: KD0516

Families flock to Houghton. And it’s easy to understand why. You get the convenience of being only 10 minutes from town or the M6 but with a sleepy village setting. Houghton does come with a pretty village green and your very own Michelin starred restaurant.

Hadrian Way is a quiet cul-de-sac in a family-friendly estate built by renowned local builder Story Homes in 2016. They’re known for building high quality homes on substantial plots - a far cry from the tightly packed estates that many of the national housebuilders are throwing up.

And back in 2016 No. 23 started out as a spacious detached family home with four good size double bedrooms and plenty of space to get together downstairs.

The current owners haven’t extended but they have reconfigured the ground floor layout - and it’s worked a treat!

All they’ve done is open up the utility room to the already spacious open plan kitchen & dining room to create an even bigger, more sociable space.

And before you start panicking about the loss of the handy utility room, they’ve taken some space in the garage to make an even bigger, more practical utility in there! 

So the ground floor now has a full-width kitchen & dining room with an additional relaxed seating area where you can chill out after your meal.

It’s light and bright and with French doors giving access to the back garden, it will be perfect for summer entertaining.

The secluded back garden has been beautifully landscaped. There's a paved seating area and low maintenance artificial grass.

Upstairs has four good size double bedrooms (the master bedroom comes with an en-suite shower room) along with the family bathroom.

There’s parking on the drive for a couple of cars. That's handy given the garage alterations mean that you wouldn’t be able to park the car in the garage (not that many people do these days).

Houghton is a popular village, thanks to the convenient location close to the city centre and M6. There’s a village post office and store, the local primary school is less than 15 minutes walk away. There’s even a Michelin starred fine dining restaurant, The Lounge On The Green.

If you’re not into fine dining (even if The Lounge On The Green describes itself as ‘relaxed fine dining’ on the website) you might prefer a scone from the café in the nearby Houghton Hall Garden Centre.

This property could be perfect if you’re looking for a spacious and modern family home, in a great location and with a few thoughtful improvements that makes it even better than when it was first built.

I’m expecting plenty of interest so call Karl Dixon to arrange a viewing.
