End terrace house for sale in Castle Park, Brough, Kirkby Stephen CA17

Upon entering the village, you will find Castle Park tucked among similar homes in this tranquil development, exuding a family-friendly ambiance. The property, constructed roughly 30 years ago, underwent a complete refurbishment in 2019. This included new double-glazed windows and doors, a modern kitchen with integrated appliances, updated electric heating throughout, a contemporary shower room suite, and a new immersion heater within a pressurized system. The home has been fastidiously maintained by the current owner, with recent enhancements, particularly to the garden. This charming area has been adorned with a variety of blooms and evergreens, ensuring a burst of colour throughout the year.

The exterior is in a natural sandstone colour render and the porch stands proudly with sandstone cladding. The Driveway is large enough to accommodate two vehicles and a beautiful flowering tree sits inside a gravel border which demarks the area between the neighbouring property.
