4 bedroom detached house for sale

Could This Be The Perfect Family Home On The Edge Of The National Park? A John Swift Homes masterpiece of elegant design and impeccable quality, with fell views from every room, space to gather in style and a layout designed for modern family life.

When you're searching for a luxury family home, you hope for fell views - but from every room? That’s rare. A proper open-plan kitchen diner that feels sociable without being chaotic? Even rarer. And a setting right on the edge of the National Park, without sacrificing easy connections to town or schools? That’s the kind of lifestyle friendly combination that doesn’t come up too often.

Built in 2022 by award winning local developer John Swift Homes, this is a home that nails the balance between family-friendly function and feeling.

At the heart of it all is the open-plan living, dining and kitchen area - one of those rare spaces that can genuinely bring people together without you feeling all lost and at sea when it’s just you making a cup of tea. The Quooker tap, the integrated appliances, the shaker style cabinetry - it all feels quietly high-end, while the lantern ceiling and garden-facing French doors flood the space with natural light.

There's also a separate lounge and a front study, giving everyone options if they need their own private space.

Upstairs, all four bedrooms are doubles. The main bedroom has its own dressing room and ensuite, and those fell views continue throughout - perhaps the only room without a view is the gorgeous four piece family bathroom.

Outside, there’s off-road parking for four or five cars, a double garage with power and lighting, and garden that’s just the right size for relaxing, playing or pottering about. There’s even a covered timber seating area tucked beside the garage.

There are two fabulous and friendly local pubs within walking distance - The Countryman and the Posting House - and the Kirkstile Inn is a little further away but it’s well worth pulling on your walking boots.

It’s only a 15-minute walk to Felldyke to start the ascent of Blake Fell, and just over an hour on foot (or 10 minutes by car) to the northern shores of Loweswater.

And while Workington, Egremont and Cockermouth are all less than a 20-minute drive away, standing here with the fells in front of you, they couldn’t feel further away.

For day-to-day essentials, you’ll most likely head to Cockermouth (a little over 10 minutes away), with its high street supermarkets, independent shops and a brilliant choice of cafés, bars and restaurants.

For families, Eaglesfield Paddle Primary School (rated “Good”) is under 10 minutes away, and the area falls within the catchment for Cockermouth Secondary School.

A luxury four bedroom home with fell views from every room, an extraordinary family living space, and a prime spot right on the edge of the National Park — this is where modern comfort meets wild beauty.

We’e expecting plenty of interest from discerning families so get in touch to arrange a private viewing.
