Struan, Carlisle, CA6 4AA

Time To Turn Your Sleepy Village Life Dreams Into Reality. A sociable and stylish family home at the heart of an idyllic village, between the pub and the church.

With a 25ft lounge, sun room, ensuite main bedroom and easy access to the M6 and Solway coast.

Property ref: KD0516 For a lot of people, village life is something they talk about over a glass of wine on a Friday night and then quietly shelve by Monday morning.

The commute, the kids, the practicalities - it never quite adds up. Here, it does. Rockcliffe is the real thing.

A proper village with a “Good” primary school, a pub with log fires and a friendly atmosphere and the kind of community feel that you can't make up.

But Junction 44 of the M6 is less than 10 minutes in the car, which means Carlisle is still on your doorstep and the Solway aonb is even closer - the kind of thing you stop noticing after a while, and then one day a visitor mentions it and you remember how lucky you are!

The house itself is bigger than it looks from the road. Much bigger.

The lounge runs to nearly 25 feet and flows straight through via patio doors into the sun room, which looks out over the back garden to the open fields beyond. On one side, you’ve got the church.

On the other, open countryside. It's a genuinely lovely spot to end a working day, especially with the multi-fuel stove doing its thing in the winter months.

The kitchen has cream shaker-style units with solid oak worktops and a Bosch oven, with a dining table that catches the morning sun through the rear window.

There's a separate utility room off the kitchen, a cloakroom/WC, and a formal dining room at the front that works just as well as a home office or a playroom depending on what your life needs right now.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is a proper retreat - with a large fitted wardrobe, two skylights flooding the room with light, and an en suite shower room that's big enough to feel like a real bathroom rather than an afterthought.

Three further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor, with enough room that the kids won't be fighting over who gets what.

Outside, there's parking for two cars at the front leading and the built in single garage, a side patio for morning coffee, and a back garden that mixes decking, stone flags and planted beds - with those field and river views stretching away behind you.

This is the house for the family who've been talking about the village move for a while and just needed the right house to come up.

It sits perfectly between the Crown & Thistle and the church - which, depending on your priorities, covers most of what village life is actually about!
