Detached house for sale in Standingstone Heights, Wigton CA7

A Superb, Sociable Family Home That’s A Short Commute To Carlisle And Is Setup For Summer Entertaining. This much improved modern detached has a spacious kitchen / diner which opens to a fabulous back garden - perfect for BBQs and summer parties. Property ref: KD0516

This stunning four bedroom family home has been lovingly looked after by the current owners who bought it new in 2006.

And they’ve made some thoughtful improvements both inside and out - turning it into a versatile and sociable family home that’s ideal for entertaining.

They’ve opened up the kitchen and dining room and sacrificed the utility room to create a spacious kitchen / diner that takes up the full width of the house.

The whole family will love spending time here…and when the sun’s out you can open the patio doors to the beautifully landscaped back garden.

The garden really is something else. There’s a small lawn, a choice of seating areas and a wooden summerhouse with a covered area for a hot tub, next to the BBQ.

Heading back inside, when they altered the kitchen no expense was spared. Stylish fitted units house a top of the range neff induction hob and a “hide and slide” oven (with a warming drawer) especially for Bake Off fans.

If the rear of the house is where everyone loves to spend time together, the spacious lounge at the front can be somewhere to escape to relax with a good book or to binge watch a box set.

Upstairs has four bedrooms and a luxurious family bathroom. The master bedroom is particularly large and has its own stylish ensuite shower room.

There’s parking on the drive for a couple of cars, plus the built in single garage.

The built-in garage does give you further options. Given nobody parks their cars in garages these days it could be ripe for conversion into a home office, a gym or even another bedroom (subject to planning permission, of course).

Standingstone Heights is a popular estate built around 20 years ago on the northern edge of town.

Wigton is a small market town with a selection of shops, cafés and pubs along with a popular market every Friday. There’s also a host of leisure facilities and services, including a swimming pool and community hospital.

It’s less than a 15 minute walk to the town centre shops and the station is even closer.

You can walk to the station in less than 5 minutes. That makes it viable to commute to Carlisle if you work in the city or have to go in for meetings, as the hourly train takes less than 20 minutes.

But Wigton is also handy if you prefer to spend your time on the beach or the fells.

You’ve got a choice of unspoiled beaches all less than half an hours drive away, or the north shore of Bassenthwaite is only 25 minutes drive (or a 75 minute bike ride) away.

There’s a choice of “Outstanding” or “Good” schools in the town - all within walking distance.

And if you like heading out into the countryside, you can be in the open fields in only a couple of minutes, whether you’re driving, cycling or heading out for a run.

This is an immaculate, move-in ready family home with a fabulous kitchen and garden setup that’s ideal for entertaining.

I’m expecting plenty of interest, so don’t miss out - call me to arrange a viewing.
