A superb period home, originally dating from 1890 and having been completely refurbished and renovated around 1999/2000 in order to create the superb four/five bedroomed, three bathroomed, three reception roomed home presently on offer. There are delightful and managebale garden grounds forming part of this attached dwelling which benefits from an elevated site in the heart of the market town of Brampton. Providing elegant living with the potential to operate as a high quality guest house or holiday let in part.

SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION

The White House is situated on the north side of Main Street, thus enjoying a southerly orientation, the site being elevated and having a significant level of privacy and seclusion. This attached dwelling, for many years a school, but since 2000 a fine and generously proportioned and immaculately presented residence, offers substantial accommodation retaining many original Victorian features with high quality joinery work throughout to doors, architraves, timber panelled ceilings and the like. Fine fireplaces are provided and finishes throughout are to the highest standard.

The fabric has been meticulously maintained, the roof finish having been renewed along with services throughout. A more recent innovation has been the provision of the latest, high specification, uPVC sliding sash windows which retain the period look.

The arrangement of the accommodation is nicely balanced and an added benefit is the opportunity to create a separate flatlet at first floor level capable of having its own entrance and thus lending itself as a potential holiday let etc. Any future owners of The White House could also look to exploiting the commercial opportunity provided by the proximity of the market town of Brampton to the Hadrian's Wall World Heritage Site and thus the thousands of tourists attracted thereto and to the wider delights of Cumbria.

The market town of Brampton incorporates a whole range of shopping opportunities from retailers to supermarkets, banks etc., together with doctors practice, dentists, opticians etc. The town is now by-passed but offers high speed road links east to Newcastle - approximately 50 miles distant (Newcastle Airport within 1 hour) and west linking north/south at junctions 43/44 of the M6 motorway. The Virgin West Coast Rail link accesses both London and Glasgow/

Edinburgh and there is a train service via Brampton junction from Carlisle to Newcastle. Brampton also boasts the popular William Howard School together with access to a host of other learning facilities all within walking distance.
