Joiners Cottage, Moorhouse, Carlisle, CA5 6EY

Full Details

Joiners Cottage is a beautifully presented character home that has undergone a comprehensive renovation by the current owners. The works carried out include full rewiring, a new heating system and plumbing, new kitchen and bathrooms, along with tasteful redecoration throughout. The property also benefits from new insulation and plasterwork, including additional insulation to the external walls, resulting in a home that combines period charm with modern comfort and efficiency.

The front door opens directly into the main living room, a generous and inviting space that blends contemporary finishes with traditional features. Originally two smaller rooms, this area has been opened up to create a more sociable layout. A log-burning stove sits within an attractive stone fireplace with rustic brick surround, forming a striking focal point, while wood panelling to the alcoves enhances the cottage feel. A large under-stairs cupboard provides excellent practical storage. From here, a ground floor hallway leads through to the remainder of the accommodation, with attractive limestone flag flooring extending throughout the rest of the ground floor.

The kitchen is a large open-plan kitchen and dining space with a warm country farmhouse aesthetic. Shaker-style units are paired with solid wood worktops and a large Belfast sink, creating a timeless and practical environment. High-quality integrated NEFF appliances include an oven and microwave, with space provided for a dishwasher and washing machine. This is an excellent family space, equally suited to everyday living and entertaining. A utility room sits off the kitchen, offering further storage and space for an additional fridge, while also housing a convenient downstairs WC. The rear porch is accessed from the ground floor hallway and is the entrance most commonly used by the current owners, providing a practical space for coats and shoes and offering direct access to both the garden and the driveway.

To the first floor, the property offers four generous double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom is positioned at the front of the house and benefits from a bright south-facing aspect, with a beautiful original fireplace providing a charming focal point. Across the hallway, the second bedroom is similar in size and is currently used as an additional sitting room, featuring exposed brickwork to the chimney breast and a characterful exposed beam. To the rear are two further double bedrooms, one presently arranged as a home office and the other ideal for guests, benefitting from its own ensuite shower room.

Externally, the garden offers a sheltered patio area ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining, with a further small area to the side of the property housing a garden shed and providing additional useful outdoor storage. A particularly valuable feature is the adjoining barn, which can be accessed either internally from the rear porch or externally from the driveway. This is a substantial and highly versatile space, offering excellent potential for conversion (subject to any necessary consents) into an annex, additional living accommodation, home office, workshop or simply as generous storage. The driveway itself provides ample off-road parking, comfortably accommodating at least three vehicles.

Joiners Cottage is located in the popular village of Moorhouse, just outside Carlisle, offering the ideal balance between rural living and excellent connectivity. The village enjoys a strong community feel and is well served by a highly regarded local pub, with further excellent village pubs and eateries found in neighbouring villages. Carlisle city centre is within easy reach, providing a full range of shops, leisure facilities and professional services. The property is also conveniently positioned for access to the M6 motorway, making travel north and south straightforward, while Carlisle’s mainline railway station offers direct connections to London, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Manchester.

Families are well catered for with a good selection of respected primary and secondary schools locally. For lifestyle and recreation, the property is ideally placed for easy access to the Lake District National Park and the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, both offering outstanding scenery and a wealth of outdoor pursuits.
