Bungalow with beautiful views

Bungalow with beautiful views A detached split level bungalow, well cared for and with delightful gardens, is for sale in a sought after village set in lovely Cumbrian countryside. The home in Castle View, Hayton, was bought as a new build more than 30 years ago by Clive and Pauline Parker whose children, two sons http://www.botshop.org and a daughter, have now married and are living away with the couple's three grandchildren. "I was working over the border at a company called Cochran Boilers which for a time was part of Rolls Royce. We were looking around for a property, trying to get somewhere that was convenient for the travel, and were being sent lots of brochures from estate agents. "We kept coming back to Hayton. We bought our house from new 31 years ago and we've done a tremendous amount to it since then. "It was originally a four bedroom property and we've converted one of the bedrooms to a family bathroom with walk in shower. The original bathroom was incorporated into what became an en suite for the master bedroom." "Our favourite room is probably the lounge because it has great views across the Solway to Criffel," Clive said. "There's a saying that if it's raining you can't see Criffel and if you can see Criffel it's about to rain! "The garden is so secluded, it's unbelievable there's a farmer's field behind and a copse off to the right as you look at it. "We love sitting there. It's low maintenance with lawn, shrubs and trees and the whole plot is 0.2 of an acre. Being on the corner plot adds to the seclusion and we're not overlooked at either the front or the back." The property is approached along a private driveway which provides ample off road parking alongside a double garage. An entrance vestibule has steps up to a hallway where http://www.personalhealthorganiser.co.uk there is a convenient storage cupboard with hanging space and shelves. The bright and modern lounge is a good sized room with two windows overlooking the front garden and patio doors to the rear. There is a separate dining room and a breakfasting kitchen fitted with a good range of units. Integrated appliances include microwave, dishwasher, fridge, freezer and washer dryer. There are three bedrooms, the en suite master having fitted wardrobes, as does the other double bedroom. The four piece family bathroom has a double shower cubicle. There is also a separate cloakroom with tiled walls and floors. Clive said: "The house has only just gone on the market but we've had a couple of viewings and they both said the same thing that it was stunning and in top notch condition." The Parkers, who are both retired, are reluctantly moving from Hayton as they want to live somewhere smaller and without any stairs. As well as being situated in lovely surroundings, the village has excellent links for the Eden Valley, Hadrian's Wall and the Lake District National Park.
