This four-bedroom family home in the popular village of Scotby was constructed just a few years ago by well-regarded Cumbrian builders Story Homes.

It is close to all the amenities and facilities of Carlisle city centre, as well as travel across the region via the nearby M6, and is sure to be of interest for anyone looking for an executive-style family home with a host of impressive features.

Alders Edge is a small development in the heart of Scotby, close to the village school, post office and pub. The property for sale has been upgraded by the current owners, with flooring, lighting and dining kitchen benefiting from enhanced specification.

The light and spacious accommodation also has modern gas central heating and double glazing and the loft has been converted to provide additional storage space.

The house is approached via a block-paved driveway offering parking in addition to the integral single garage and a paved level pathway runs alongside the lawned front garden which is fronted by a red sandstone wall with brick pillar.

A hallway leads to the reception rooms. The good-sized living room at the front of the house has a large window, and modern living flame gas fire in a feature surround and hearth.

The stunning dining kitchen runs the full width of the house and has wooden flooring, attractive wall and floor units with wooden work surfaces, wine storage and integrated appliances including hob, double oven, fridge, freezer and dishwasher. Double French doors lead to the garden.

The ground-floor layout is completed by a store room and toilet and there is a utility area off the garage.

On the first floor the master bedroom has luxurious en-suite shower room with part-tiled walls and the remaining three bedrooms share the family bathroom which has a separate shower cubicle.

The back garden has been landscaped and offers a low-maintenance leisure space ideal for a family. Outside the house is a patio area large enough to accommodate a dining set, and a further decked area in the garden itself which is roped off.

The garden also has raised flower beds with a variety of shrubs and plants and is enclosed by fencing for security. From the back of the house and the back garden are uninterrupted open views across fields.
