The Property
Situated in the tranquil hamlet of Westnewton, Croft View is a recently refurbished traditional Cumbrian house accompanied by a separate two-bedroom annex, with the additional benefit of approximately one acre of land and a Dutch barn. Together, these elements create a particularly versatile rural property, offering generous family accommodation alongside useful ancillary space and scope for a variety of uses.
Ideally located just a short drive from the renowned Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and with easy access to Cumbria’s beautiful countryside, the property is well positioned to make the most of its rural surroundings. The house itself presents an attractive traditional frontage, constructed in distinctive red sandstone with original sash windows overlooking the village green and nearby church.
The interior has undergone extensive renovation, with much of the house showcasing a fresh, neutral finish. While some final touches remain, this presents an opportunity for the incoming owner to complete the remaining details to their own requirements.
Inside, a spacious central entrance hall leads to a generous dual-aspect living room spanning the width of the house. The newly fitted kitchen incorporates a comprehensive range of modern appliances, including a double fridge freezer, microwave, double oven and hob with extractor, while a rear door provides direct access to the garden. An adjoining dining room provides ample space for entertaining and more formal occasions, with a WC completing the ground floor.
Upstairs are four well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom overlooks the village green and includes fitted wardrobes, while the substantial family bathroom is appointed with a bath and separate rainfall shower. A further shower room and useful storage serve the remaining bedrooms.
The Annexe
The annexe has been completely refurbished, featuring a modern refit throughout. Large floor-to-ceiling windows have been installed in the living room, and a contemporary kitchen has been fitted.
Upstairs, the bedroom accommodation is well-lit via Velux windows installed in the vaulted ceilings. Two spacious bedrooms are served by a modern bathroom.
Externally
The property features a spacious garden area, mainly laid to lawn, and a double garage opening to a large rear courtyard, ideal for parking multiple vehicles. Additionally, the offering includes an acre of land located just across the road from the main property, featuring a Dutch barn.
