4 Bedroom Detached House

Tucked away at the end of a private single-track driveway and set well back from the main road, Oakwood is a fine detached, extended four-bedroom, two-bathroom family residence that perfectly balances privacy, space, and elegance. This beautiful home sits amid generous, well-maintained gardens and includes a large detached timber outhouse, offering incredible flexibility for home working, fitness, hobbies, or even potential guest accommodation

As soon as you approach Oakwood, it’s clear this is a property of real distinction. The sweeping gravel driveway creates an impressive sense of arrival, offering ample off-road parking for several vehicles, all framed by mature trees and greenery that provide both charm and seclusion. There’s even the added convenience of an EV car charging point, ensuring the home is ready for modern living.

Step inside through the welcoming porch, the perfect spot for muddy boots and wellies after countryside walks, and you’ll find a spacious entrance hall that immediately gives a sense of warmth and grandeur. With its curved staircase leading to the first floor and glazed doors opening to the main reception rooms, this area sets the tone for what’s to come

To the front of the property sits a delightful sitting room, flooded with natural light from a large bow window and two side windows that frame views of the garden. The central fireplace provides a wonderful focal point and creates a cosy atmosphere on cooler evenings

Adjacent to this is a highly versatile ground-floor fourth bedroom or additional living room. With a large window allowing light to pour in, this flexible space can easily serve as a spacious double bedroom, a snug, or a second reception room, depending on your needs.

Undoubtedly the standout feature of Oakwood is the magnificent 33' x 27' open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area

The garden room area offers panoramic views across the rear garden and tranquil pond through large, expansive windows, allowing you to enjoy the outdoors all year round. A log-burning stove adds warmth and atmosphere, creating the perfect spot to unwind.

The kitchen and dining area are nothing short of stunning. Recently refurbished to a high standard, it features a sleek two-tone fitted kitchen with ample wall and base units, slimline work surfaces, a tiled splashback, and subtle LED lighting. The space includes high-quality integrated appliances, including an American-style fridge freezer, a built-in oven and microwave, and a dishwasher

A lantern skylight fills the dining area with natural light, while sliding patio doors open directly onto the rear garden

At the opposite end of this impressive room is a breakfast area or study space, currently used as a home office. This adaptable corner adds further versatility, ideal for those working from home or needing a quiet reading nook.

A large utility room located just off the kitchen adds practicality to the home, offering space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, additional work surfaces, and a secondary sink. From here, there’s direct access to the rear garden. Completing the ground floor is a contemporary three-piece shower room, featuring a WC, wash hand basin, and walk-in shower

Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to three further bedrooms and the family bathroom.

Each bedroom is bright, airy, and well-proportioned, with large windows that draw in natural light and offer peaceful garden or countryside views. Bedrooms one and two are generous doubles, while bedroom three provides a comfortable single, nursery, or home office space.

The luxurious four-piece family bathroom has been recently refurbished to an exceptional standard. It features a freestanding oval bath, perfect for a long evening soak, and a large walk-in shower with a rainfall head for daily convenience. A modern vanity unit, chrome fittings, LED ceiling lighting, and elegant tiling complete the look

Step outside, and the magic of Oakwood truly unfolds.

The beautifully landscaped gardens wrap around the property, offering peace, privacy, and a connection to nature. With mature lawned areas, two ponds, patio seating sections, a vegetable patch, and even a timber summer house positioned perfectly beside the pond, this is a garden designed for every season and every occasion

The large detached timber outhouse is a remarkable addition to this already impressive property. Fully powered and lit, and complete with its own WC and wash basin, this space opens up endless possibilities. A versatile work-from-home setup that could easily become a gym, studio, playroom, hobby space, or even an Airbnb-style guest lodge (subject to relevant permissions). It’s rare to find such a flexible, high-quality outbuilding

Beyond the property, the village of Cumwhinton offers a welcoming community spirit, characterised by friendly neighbours, local events, and the kind of peace that only a village setting can provide.

Cumwhinton is surrounded by lush green fields, rolling hills, and serene landscapes that make it an ideal location for nature enthusiasts. The village offers breathtaking views and a variety of walking trails, allowing residents and visitors to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the region. The presence of local wildlife, including deer, adds to the charm and allure of this quaint village.

While Cumwhinton offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life, it is conveniently located near essential amenities. The nearby town of Carlisle provides access to shops, restaurants, schools, and healthcare facilities, ensuring that residents have everything they need within a short drive. Public transport links connect the village to surrounding areas, making it accessible for commuters and travellers alike. 

The village also benefits from a highly popular primary school, a village pub and a recently opened village cafe. The nearby villages of Cotehill and Wetheral both offer further amenities, and both can be easily reached by car in just a few minutes.

Oakwood is a spacious, and versatile home offering the perfect blend of country charm, contemporary style, and modern convenience. From its show-stopping kitchen and light-filled living spaces to its breathtaking gardens and unique outhouse, every detail has been thoughtfully designed to create a home that’s as practical as it is stunning. This is more than just a home
