WHY LINSTOCK? Linstock is only three miles northeast of Carlisle, adjacent to open countryside, handy for Rickerby Park and the River Eden. It has a village atmosphere yet is close to shops, schools, rail links and the wider range of city services. Nearby leisure facilities include Eden Golf Club and Walby Farm Park a popular family attraction, are just a few minutes drive from the property. For food there is The Stag Inn at Crosby on Eden and Café on the Green in Houghton. Ideal for those seeking a slower pace of life, Linstock has a village hall and strong sense of community, making it the perfect place to call home. Walking and cycling routes are to hand. The village has easy access to the M6, A69, and A689, making it practical for commuting to Carlisle and North Cumbria, the North East and Scottish Borders.

DESCRIPTION The Croft is a substantial detached period home with attractive brick elevations, beautifully positioned within the village having the benefit of a delightful private south facing garden and large adjoining barn. The cobbled courtyard is flanked by the traditional barn, creating an attractive and handsome setting for the property. The accommodation is generous and whilst it has been extended and improved in parts, offers the chance for the new owner to make their mark by extending further or converting all or part of the outbuildings subject to planning. This may include for an annex, studio or independent dwelling which could have its own access and west facing garden thus allowing The Croft to retain its privacy. We feel there may also be the chance of a building plot STP on the eastern side of the garden. Either way there are options for now and the future. The living space on the ground floor is excellent. All rooms are south facing and three also have access to the garden. On the first floor the main bedroom is a large and wonderful space with high ceilings and exposed timbers, a dressing room and ensuite bathroom. There are three further doubles south facing to the view, a single bedroom/study and a bathroom with options to reconfigure.
