This fantastic family home, which has been recently renovated to a high standard, is in the heart of the popular village of Hayton with lovely rolling countryside all around.

"The Old Store really is a lovely property combining spacious room with character features and contemporary upgrades, all within this desirable village setting," said Paul Doyle, who is handling its sale for PFK Estate Agents.

"It is sure to be of appeal to families because not only does it have a large reception room and four bedrooms but it is also for sale with the benefit of planning permission in place for a single-storey extension to the back of the house which would create a sun room, utility room and second bathroom.

"If this building was to go ahead it would make what is already a very attractive property one that is something really special."

The Old Store is ideally placed for travel to the beautiful Eden Valley, Hadrian's Wall and the Lake District National Park yet just seven miles from central Carlisle for employment purposes and with easy access to the A69 and the M6.

Hayton village has a pub, the Stone Inn and a primary school along with an active village community. Three miles away the market town of Brampton has a secondary school and good range of local amenities.

The Old Store is of traditional build, having an entrance door with feature exposed lintel opening into the large living dining room - almost 29ft by 14ft.

It has attractive original features of exposed beams and feature exposed sandstone fireplace with tiled hearth, and is illuminated by illuminated by two windows and recessed ceiling spotlights.

A door leads into a snug which has and exposed lintel, wall-mounted lights and an archway through to the kitchen.

Paul said: "This has a centre island with a breakfast bar incorporating electric points and a good range of oak cabinets.

"There's a window overlooking the back garden and a part-glazed door to the rear hall where there's a walk-in larder with more oak cabinets and ceiling spotlights."

This area also has the stairs, an understairs cupboard, a back porch and a cloakroom with extractor fan.

The dog-leg staircase has a window and exposed beams and doors to all four bedrooms and the bathroom..

The spacious master bedroom is full of period charm with an exposed sandstone fireplace on a tiled hearth and a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams.

Two windows overlook the front of the house and there are doors to the fourth bedroom and a dressing room which could be converted to an en-suite.

The fourth bedroom also has the potential for a door to be added via the main landing. With window, radiator and part exposed beam.

The remaining two bedroom overlook the back garden.

"The family bathroom is a very attractive room with a freestanding roll-top and claw-footed bath and a separate shower cubicle," Paul said. "Painted tongue and groove runs up to dado level complementing the exposed floorboards and beams and there's a Velux window and heated towel rail."

Externally a gate to the side of Old Store opens to the drive and garage which offer plenty of off-street parking and there are three very useful outbuildings, two of which have a power supply.

The back garden has a shillied area, patio area and stepped flowerbeds leading down to a lawned area.

Paul concluded: "With the new refurbishment, spacious living accommodation, parking and large gardens I am confident this home will appeal to families who like the idea of rural living yet still being close to amenities. I look forward to showing prospective buyers just what the Old Store has to offer."
