Description

A rare opportunity with endless possibilities… Welcome to Oak View, Great Orton — a truly exceptional four-bedroom, three-bathroom detached bungalow offering over 2,400 sq ft of internal space and nestled within approximately two acres of stunning private grounds.

Properties like this are incredibly uncommon in the market — not only does this home promise an extraordinary lifestyle, but it also presents incredible potential for future development (subject to planning permission), whether that be further extending the property or creating additional dwellings. This is a unique chance to secure a forever home with room to grow.

From the moment you arrive, Oak View makes a lasting first impression.

Set well back from the main road and tucked behind a sweeping private driveway, this home enjoys a sense of exclusivity and tranquillity that is hard to match. A detached double garage, extensive parking, and the expanse of mature gardens instantly showcase the scale and privacy of this remarkable plot.

Step inside, and the feeling of space continues.

A bright and wide entrance hall welcomes you with impressive natural light flowing down from overhead Velux windows — a wonderful introduction to the expansive layout that awaits. From here, the home flows seamlessly into multiple reception and bedroom spaces, perfectly balancing openness and practicality.

The show-stopping living room spans an incredible 27ft x 22ft, creating a truly luxurious space for relaxation or entertaining. Dual-aspect windows overlook the beautiful gardens, while a gas fire provides a charming focal point and cosy warmth during the winter months. Whether hosting large gatherings or enjoying peaceful evenings in, this room delivers versatility in abundance.

At the heart of the home is a custom-designed dining kitchen, expertly installed by the highly regarded craftsman joiners, Thwaites of Carlisle. Offering extensive cabinetry, generous worktops and a selection of integrated appliances, this kitchen has been carefully configured for busy family life as well as joyful occasions. The views from here stretch across the rear lawn toward open countryside — a perfect backdrop as you cook, dine and socialise.

A separate utility room is positioned just beyond, providing superb storage, additional work surfaces and a second sink — ideal for keeping the main kitchen clear and organised. A rear hall leads out to the garden and provides access to a large walk-in pantry and a convenient WC — thoughtful additions that make everyday living effortless.

The master suite is nothing short of luxurious — a 16ft x 16ft bedroom with sliding doors that open directly into the garden, allowing you to step out with your morning coffee and enjoy the sunrise. A private dressing room fully fitted with bespoke Thwaites cabinetry leads through to a stylish en-suite shower room, designed with comfort, practicality and elegance in mind.

All three further bedrooms are generously sized double rooms, each filled with natural light and offering plenty of floor space for furniture. One enjoys its own en-suite — excellent for guests, teenagers or extended family.

The family bathroom is a genuine centrepiece — a five-piece luxury suite that would rival any boutique hotel. A freestanding bathtub invites you to soak in style, while a large walk-in rainfall shower caters to everyday convenience. Twin vanity sinks, concealed-cistern WC, high-end finishes, LED mood lighting and premium flooring create a spa-like escape you’ll never want to leave.

Step outside and Oak View elevates the experience once again…

The grounds extend to approximately two acres, offering complete privacy and sensational scope. Manicured lawns wrap beautifully around the property, while two large greenhouses and productive vegetable plots offer exciting opportunities for hobby gardeners.

The rear field unlocks outstanding potential for future development (subject to planning), making this home a valuable long-term investment as well as a wonderful place to live.

A substantial, brick-built detached double garage with power, lighting and electric doors provides exceptional additional storage, workshop potential or secure parking for prized vehicles.

You'll just love this bungalow, and the location is excellent too.

Nestled on the western fringe of Carlisle, the charming village of Great Orton offers the very best of peaceful rural living while still being brilliantly connected. With open countryside in every direction, this friendly village is home to a well-regarded primary school, a cosy local pub, a thriving community hall and even its own nature reserve — perfect for leisurely dog walks and wildlife spotting.

A short drive takes you to Dalston, Wigton or into Carlisle city centre for supermarkets, healthcare and rail connections. Commuters will appreciate quick access to the A595 and M6, while outdoor lovers can enjoy weekend adventures in the nearby Lake District National Park.

Whether you’re dreaming of multi-generational living, home-based business opportunities, an equestrian lifestyle, space for children to explore or simply the joy of owning a home with land, Oak View offers all of this and so much more.

A home of this calibre, scale and flexibility is incredibly rare in the market. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the lifestyle on offer.
