Ash Leigh is a diverse family home for sale on the outskirts of Carlisle with panoramic views of the Pennines, Lakeland Fells and Scottish hills and with the added benefit of an adjoining paddock and detached stable.
As well as being an ideal property for someone who loves horses, or who has other livestock, the house, constructed of attractive red sandstone, also sits on a two-acre site. This space would provide plenty of room for additional buildings to be erected if required.
Ash Leigh has a front porch opening into the generous entrance hall where doors lead to the dining room and breakfasting kitchen and a lovely staircase rises to the spacious first-floor landing.
The dining room is a good size with a large window overlooking the front garden and a multi-fuel stove in a recess. Doors give access to the living room and breakfasting kitchen.
The 23ft lounge runs the full length of the property and is full of light from a bay window at the front and window at the back. It also has a feature fire with surround, pleasant window seat and views of the gardens.
The breakfasting kitchen has a good range of wall and floor units in white, including a section for wine storage, and there are white tiled splashbacks, vinyl flooring and integrated oven and hob. A fitted breakfast bar in white wood eliminates the need for a separate dining table.
A useful pantry leads off the kitchen and a second door leads into the garden room at the back of the house where again there are lovely views of Ash Leigh's gardens. A downstairs toilet can be found here and the ground-floor layout is completed with a utility room
On the first floor of this spacious family home are five bedrooms, four of them double and one single. The master bedroom has the benefit of an en-suite shower room.
The other four bedrooms share the family bathroom which is complemented by a separate shower room with toilet and a second wc.
Outside are delightful mature gardens with paths, trees, shrubs and raised vegetable beds. There is a patio area outside the garden room, trellising, a large shed, five-bar gate to the paddock and gates either side of the house connecting the front and back gardens. An integral garage is accessed from the breakfasting kitchen.
Ash Leigh benefits from oil central heating and double glazing Brisco is in a rural location but still conveniently close to the M6, Carlisle city centre and surrounding areas.
