Description

Sat at the side of a quiet country lane, Raby Villa is a spacious family home set in a one acre plot and with large gardens, a stable and a paddock. Located in Kirkbride near Wigton, this delightful house offers an abundance of potential for a family looking for rural living, with plenty of outside opportunity for gardening, space for children to play, and for pursuing equestrian pursuits. Built in1990, the building is in good condition, with the spacious interior now ready for some general updating.

The accommodation comprises of an open plan living and dining room, kitchen and large utility room, and ground floor WC, whist upstairs you will find four double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property is double glazed and has LPG gas fired central heating.

However, it is the outside that will excite most buyers, with a brick built stable block with bridle room and a store. The stable doors face out to a generous sized paddock, in the centre of which you will find a functioning well! In addition there is a large garden, and a detached garage and offroad parking for multiple vehicles.

Surrounded by countryside and with long reaching views, this property is not just a home; it is a life-style property to enjoy, a place to raise a family and a place indulge you passion for outdoor country living .

Rear Entrance Hall - On a day-to-day basis, you will come and go via the side door to the kitchen, but the house fronts onto the rear garden, with an external door opening into a hallway which in turn provides access to the living areas, kitchen, and the stairs rising to the first floor.

Living Room - This is a bight and airy space with a glass door and full length side panels overlooking the rear garden, with further sunlight pouring in from the windows to the opposing elevation. Plenty of space for a sofa and chairs, and the room is open plan to the dining area.

Dining Area - Room for a formal dining table and chairs.

Kitchen - The kitchen is well-proportioned and offers plenty of natural light through multiple windows to two elevations. It features farmhouse style units with wooden cabinetry, contrasting worktops, and is spacious enough for a small dining table and chairs.

Utility Room - Adjacent to the kitchen is a large utility room with space for laundry appliances and additional storage. As part of a renovation, it should be possible to combine the kitchen and utility space to create a modern contemporary kitchen & family space.

Ground Floor Wc - With a WC and a wash-hand basin, accessed from the utility.
