The Property
Mount View House occupies a prime edge of village position, the first house as you arrive, surrounded by open views. Every front window takes in fell views, while the rear windows look across open countryside, so the outlook is wide and uninterrupted. This detached four-bedroom house is designed with generous glazing maximizing the home's rural setting and offers a calm refined finish, creating a modern family home that feels spacious, considered and easy to live in.

Arrival is into a dramatic double height hall, full height glazing and twin roof lights drawing daylight through the centre of the plan. Oak and glass balustrades frame the galleried landing above and there is useful understairs storage. The flow leads into a bright kitchen, dining and living space arranged for both everyday use and entertaining. The sleek German kitchen presents matt cabinetry, a long quartz topped island with integrated sink and is well-appointed with AEG appliances. Wide aluminum sliding doors open directly to the terrace naturally expanding the space for summer dining and offering enjoyment of the garden and open views beyond.

Glazed crittall style double doors connect to a generous living room, a quieter setting for evenings with a contemporary inset fire, enjoying fell views and direct access through a second set of sliding doors to the terrace and lawn.

Practical touches are folded in with a well-appointed utility, external garden access and a dedicated boot area, together with a ground floor WC and underfloor heating across the ground floor.

Upstairs, the galleried landing overlooks the feature window capturing the fell outlook. The principal bedroom also enjoys uninterrupted fell views and includes a dressing area and well finished en suite with a large walk in rainfall shower. Three further bedrooms benefit from open rural views and are served by a family bathroom with a bathtub and a separate walk in shower. Bathrooms are individually designed with Villeroy and Boch fittings and large format porcelain tiling, keeping the finish coherent and elegant throughout.

This home is built by Maris Construction Cumbria Ltd, an award winning local developer with a strong track record in quality and service. Their reputation underpins the specification here, from the roof mounted solar panels and air source heat pump that support efficient running, to the thoughtful detailing throughout. A ten year Global Homes structural warranty is provided, together with a two year developer guarantee. Further information about Maris and recent projects is available on the developer’s website.

Externally
Wide sliding doors link the main living spaces to a broad porcelain tiled terrace, ideal for outdoor dining and relaxed gatherings. The level, newly laid lawn is generous, edged by established hedging and mature trees that reinforce privacy and frame the rural views. To the front, a large gravelled drive provides ample parking and leads to the garage with electric sectional door. The setting at the entrance to the village secures the open aspect on three sides and underscores the sense of space.

Agents Note
The specification includes renewable technologies, with roof mounted solar panels and an air source heat pump to support efficient running. A ten year Global Homes structural warranty is provided, together with a two year developer guarantee from Maris Construction Cumbria Ltd.

Surrounded by open countryside with walking on the doorstep, the village also gives direct access to Watchtree Nature Reserve, a popular destination for families and wildlife enthusiasts. Everyday needs are met locally by a traditional pub and convenience store, with a friendly community centred around the village green. Orton Grange is two miles away and offers cafés, a food hall, garden centre, beauty salons and a swimming pool. Carlisle provides a wider choice of retail, cultural and leisure facilities.
