5 bed detached house for sale

Alpine Cottage, Raughton Head, Carlisle CA5

Alpine cottage


Tucked away in the heart of the picturesque village of Raughton Head, Alpine Cottage is a superb family home offering style, space, and a wonderful sense of privacy. Occupying a generous 0.5-acre plot behind electric gates, this beautifully reconfigured and upgraded property perfectly balances modern design with a warm and welcoming character.

From the moment you step into the light-filled entrance hall, Alpine Cottage feels special. At its heart is a striking open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space with an industrial-inspired edge. A seated island and integrated appliances make it perfect for entertaining, while a concealed utility space keeps the layout practical and clutter-free. French doors open onto a paved patio, creating a seamless connection between inside and out – perfect for alfresco dining or summer gatherings.

The main living room is generously proportioned, with a feature wood-panelling and a multi-fuel stove that makes this the cosiest of spaces on winter nights. Double doors lead through to the conservatory, a bright and relaxing spot that overlooks the gardens. An additional ground floor room provides excellent versatility – currently a playroom, but with its own en-suite shower room, it is equally suited as a ground-floor fifth bedroom, guest suite, or spacious home office.

Upstairs, a galleried landing enhances the sense of space and could easily serve as a study or reading nook. The main bedroom enjoys a garden outlook, fitted wardrobes, and a recently upgraded en-suite shower room. There are three further well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom, beautifully finished with a freestanding bath and walk-in shower.
Outside


Alpine Cottage’s wraparound gardens are a true highlight. Mature hedging provides privacy, while expansive lawns, two separate patios, and a large detached garden room offer plenty of options for entertaining, play, or peaceful relaxation. The gated driveway provides secure parking for several vehicles and leads to the integral double garage with electric doors.
Location


Raughton Head is a charming and close-knit village with a church and a well-regarded primary school, surrounded by rolling countryside and riverside walks. The nearby village of Dalston is just a short drive away and offers both primary and secondary schools, a Co-op, two pubs, and a selection of shops and services. Carlisle (8 miles) and Penrith (16 miles) provide further amenities and rail links, while The Lake District National Park is within easy reach – making Alpine Cottage perfectly placed for both work and leisure.
