2 Bedroom Apartment

The Apartment For People Who’d Never Buy An Apartment. No busy block, no strangers in corridors - just a stylish refurbished barn with your own front door, open fields behind and a high-spec NEFF kitchen. The M6 is only three minutes from your quiet cul-de-sac when you do need to hit the road. Property ref: KD0516

Pull into Broomy Hill and the loudest thing you'll hear is the birdsong. A small courtyard of converted barns only a few minutes from the A69, with your own front door in a wall of old red brick and open fields stretching away behind. For anyone who's been looking for something genuinely different, this is a hard place to forget.

Everything is up on the first floor and the kitchen is at the heart of it. Sleek dark cabinetry, stone-effect worktops and pendant lighting that sets the mood as much as it lights the room. It’s fitted with a NEFF induction hob, combination microwave oven and the signature “Bake Off” Slide&Hide oven. There's a wine cooler too. 

A separate utility room sits just off the kitchen, keeping the laundry and clutter where laundry and clutter belongs.

The sitting room is the other revelation. It stretches over 21 feet across and almost as deep, with a contemporary gas fire set flush into the wall, oak-effect flooring throughout, and enough space for the biggest sofa you can find in DFS.

The main bedroom has a dressing room and its own ensuite shower room finished in stone-effect tiling with a chrome heated towel rail. The second bedroom works equally well as a guest room or a home office, with its own bathroom just across the hallway.

The hallway itself is worth mentioning - long, light and lined with a leaded window overlooking the courtyard. In a lot of apartments this sort of space is an afterthought. 

Downstairs, the garage and store adds practical breathing room. There’s not quite enough space for a car but plenty for bikes, seasonal storage or simply the stuff that every home quietly accumulates.

The block-paved courtyard is maintained communally, and the open countryside behind the development is exactly as good as it sounds. 

Aglionby is a genuinely quiet little hamlet, and the like-minded neighbours here tend to be people who've chosen it for the same reasons you would.

When you do want to socialise or hit the shops, it’s easy to hit the road. The M6 is three minutes away. Carlisle city centre - with its shops, restaurants and West Coast Mainline rail connections - is under 15 minutes.

Places like this don't come up often - a barn conversion that has the feel of a stylish luxury home and a surprisingly convenient setting that most people only stumble across by accident.

Get in touch to arrange a viewing - this one is likely to move quickly.
