The Grange is an outstanding detached house, brimming with charm and character and retaining many original features.

Highlights of the accommodation, says Paul Doyle, are its breathtaking reception hall, sitting room decorative wooden ceiling and its self-contained three-bedroom apartment.

And the property's charms extend to the delightful gardens and sweeping driveway which sets the tone from the outset.

Paul is marketing The Grange and is happy to be selling this grand house which not only combines the elegance and leisure of a bygone age but offers huge flexibility. And it is just minutes from the amenities of Brampton with easy travel onwards east and west and towards the Lake District National Park.

The house - approached via the driveway which leads to a large parking area - has an impressive entrance hall which is almost 20ft by 10ft with a bespoke staircase and wood panelling.

It features a convenient cloakroom and storage cupboard and has doors to the main reception rooms of day room and sitting room.

The dual-aspect day room is huge at nearly 32ft by 20ft and is warmed by an open fire in a tiled surround with marble fireplace plus four radiators. There is decorative coving and a door leading to the side of the house.

"The sitting room, although not quite so large, is equally impressive," Paul said. "It has a multi-fuel stove on a sandstone base within a grand wooden surround and amazing decorated wooden ceiling. Dual-aspect windows provide open views to the rear."

The property's dining kitchen has fitted cabinets, a Belfast sink - as does a second kitchen - Aga and integrated fridge and there is a separate utility room.

A study has fitted cupboards, an inner hallway has a second staircase to the first floor and there are doors to the cellar and a side porch with leads out to a flagged courtyard and two stores.

Paul added: "An en-suite bedroom completes the ground-floor layout and is an ideal room for an older relative or guests, having views of the garden."

On the first-floor landing is an impressive stained-glass window and master bedroom suite with fitted furniture, living area and four-piece bathroom.

There are two more en-suite bedrooms with freestanding roll-top baths and shower enclosures, a fourth bedroom and a shower room.

The second floor houses the self-contained apartment which features a hall with loft access and walk-in wardrobe, living room with four Velux windows and a good-sized dining kitchen.

A small study also has a Velux window and the three double bedrooms share the four-piece bathroom, again with a freestanding roll-top bath and shower enclosure.

"The gardens surrounding this lovely and versatile home are equally impressive with a flagged front terrace and mature borders. At the side and rear are lawns, also flanked by established borders, a pond and a greenhouse.

"As well as the front parking area there is a double garage with remote-controlled door and adjacent open garage.

"The Grange truly is a superb home, just a short distance from the traditional market town of Brampton and close to Hadrian's Wall and the North Pennines. It has so much going for it and I look forward to showing visitors around."
