SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
Albyfield is thought to date from circa 1870 and is comprised of a distinctive and handsome family home, offering generously proportioned and well appointed accommodation over three principal floors, together with a south facing rear garden plus garaging.
The bedroom accommodation comprises three first floor double bedrooms together with two bathrooms and a dressing room/study. A further three bedrooms and a box room are provided at second floor level. Living space is comprised of the delightful vestibule and entrance hall plus separate W.C. There is a bespoke family dining kitchen with Aga, additionally complemented by a significant through drawing room/dining room with French doors and a second family sitting room. Gas fired central heating is provided throughout.
A particular appeal of Albyfield is its significant location adjacent to the southern boundary of the village green in Wetheral. The property thus enjoys commanding views over the green yet retains significant levels of privacy despite its prominent position in this most sought after village offering significant amenity, positioned at the head of the Eden Valley.
The property retains a host of original features including sash windows, internal pitch pine panelled doors and architraves together with cornicing to principal rooms.
Wetheral village itself boasts a host of amenities, many of which are positioned close to the village green including a well stocked and licensed village shop and post office with adjoining bistro caf?. There is of course the ever popular Fantails Restaurant, the Wheatsheaf Public House and the nearby Crown Hotel with its leisure complex. Delightful walks are to be had from the green, the most immediate being past the village church and along the wooded banks of the River Eden, taking in views of the magnificent sandstone railway viaduct and Corby Castle with its unique water cascade.
Communication links are also excellent, the village being within two miles of J.42 and 43 of the M.6 motorway, and also with easy links east via the A.69 to Newcastle - thus Newcastle Airport is within one hour's drive. Bus and train services link to Carlisle, the latter offering a service to Newcastle. The west coast rail service from London Euston to Glasgow/Edinburgh serves the Border City of Carlisle, which itself is a mere 5 miles distance from Wetheral.
The immediate area is one of outstanding natural beauty offering in addition ready access to the whole of the Eden Valley, the Lake District National Park, the west coast and Solway region, and of course the Borders and Roman Wall Country, the latter being a World Heritage Site.
