Full Description: <p>Savvy Buyers Aren’t Put Off By This Being An "Apartment." You get over 2,100 sq ft of stylish single-storey space, two sets of bifold doors to the garden and horses in the paddock behind. In gated grounds shared with only 1 neighbour, in the village everyone in Carlisle wants to call home. Property ref: KD0516</p><p>Wetheral has a well-deserved reputation as the kind of village where people move once and stay for life. A conservation village with a real community feel, surrounded by countryside, and close enough to Carlisle to make everyday life genuinely easy. Getting a foothold here at all is difficult. Getting one like this is truly rare.</p><p>Meadow View House sits behind electric gates on Plains Road - a handsome red brick building that you could mistake for a family home. Instead it’s shared between just two apartments. From the moment you arrive, it doesn't feel like a typical apartment block. It feels like somewhere special.</p><p>And once you're inside this ground floor apartment, the entrance hall alone sets the tone - wide, light and welcoming, with dark hardwood flooring. To one side is the lounge, stretching nearly 24ft, with a double-sided log burner sitting on a granite hearth, more dark hardwood floors and a vaulted ceiling that gives the whole space a real sense of occasion. Two sets of bifold doors open the room right up to the garden - one set faces directly out to the terrace and lawn, the other to the side. </p><p>The kitchen and dining room runs to almost 20ft and has been finished to a high standard throughout - high-gloss cream cabinetry with dark granite worktops, a central island, integrated double ovens, a wine fridge and a large extractor over the hob. There's a separate utility room off the kitchen with its own stable door to outside, which takes the everyday laundry clutter well away from the main living space.</p><p>One of the real joys of this apartment is the private southwest facing garden. A large sandstone terrace sits directly off the bifold doors, perfect for morning coffee or summer evenings, and it opens onto a sweeping lawn bordered by mature planting and well-stocked herbaceous beds. At the far end, the garden boundary backs onto a paddock with open fields behind.</p><p>The main bedroom is a calm, well-proportioned room with fitted oak wardrobes and a dedicated ensuite shower room. Bedroom two is another generous double with plenty of natural light. The study - with its own garden-facing window - works brilliantly as a home office, a reading room or a third bedroom for guests. There's also a smart family shower room finished in dark slate-effect tiling with a walk-in enclosure.</p><p>Underfloor heating runs throughout. The double garage sits within the secure gated grounds. Solar panels are fitted to the garage roof.</p><p>The centre of Wetheral village is on your doorstep - a post office, a village shop, a well-regarded pub and walks along the River Eden that most people living in Carlisle would make a day trip of. The railway station is about a ten-minute walk, with direct trains into Carlisle city centre taking less than ten minutes.</p><p>The word "apartment" really doesn't do this place justice. Anyone looking for stylish single storey living who walks away from this one will spend a long time wondering why…</p><p>Get in touch to arrange a viewing - properties like this in Wetheral won't hang around.</p><p> </p>
