3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Period Charm At The Front, Modern Style At The Back And A Pretty 12th Century Church At The Side. This beautifully updated end terrace cottage is the perfect base to explore the Solway Firth. Or just sit back and take in the views. Property ref: KD0516If you’ve been holding out for something with a history, this three bedroom cottage is worth a closer look. Homes like this don’t come up very often - especially not with Solway and Scottish coast views from the main bedroom and a church dating back to the Middle Ages as your neighbour.Set just back from Bowness-on-Solway’s main street, this deceptively spacious end terrace cottage combines period features with surprisingly smart, modern updates. There’s all the charm you’d expect at the front - sash windows, thick walls and cosy corners - opening out into a light-filled, sociable kitchen-diner at the back.The living room is warmed by a traditional multi-fuel stove which doubles as a back boiler, keeping the heating and hot water ticking over the traditional way. An immersion heater’s also in place, but most days the stove handles everything with ease.The updated kitchen is a real highlight. It has stylish modern fitted units, underfloor heating, a Belfast sink and space for a table, looking out onto the garden and neighbouring church grounds. You’ll love preparing meals in your high-end new kitchen but the Kings Arms and Garrison Bistro are both just around the corner if you fancy letting someone else do the cooking.Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms and a single bedroom that would be great as a home office or nursery. When choosing between the two double bedrooms you’ll need to decide - do you prefer the front bedroom with the original fireplace and Solway views or the one at the back overlooking the church grounds.And whilst the bedrooms feel traditional, the luxurious shower room feels more boutique hotel than cosy cottage.Outside, the enclosed rear garden is neat, private and unusually there’s a small lawn as well as the paved seating area. Bowness-on-Solway is no ordinary village. It’s in the Solway Coast AONB, marks the end of Hadrian’s Wall and has Roman roots that run deep. But it’s also a proper community - with a friendly pub, a primary school, a bistro and tea room.Cyclists will note it’s on the Hadrian's Cycleway route and buses run throughout the day to Carlisle. And when you want bigger adventures, the Lake District National Park is less than an hour's drive away.Sold with vacant possession, it’s freehold and full of possibility. This is one of those homes that gets under your skin in the best kind of way.I’m expecting plenty of interest so call me to arrange a viewing.
