Tucked away along a private driveway just off Brampton High Street, Holme Oak enjoys a peaceful yet central position. 

The property oozes kerb appeal and commands attention from the get-go, with a block paved driveway for multiple vehicles, attractive gardens and a veranda that provides the perfect place to relax and watch the sun set.

You enter the home into a grand and welcoming hallway, setting you up for a wonderful tour.

On your right is the beautiful, light flooded living room, which features a large statement window with breath taking views towards Brampton Church and across the town's rooftops. This is the perfect spot for relaxation, and the cosy log burner will provide a great source of comfort during colder months.

From the living room there is a staircase up to a wonderful double bedroom, with an impressive window overlooking the dining kitchen, and an en-suite shower room.

To the left of the hallway is the fabulous dining kitchen - the heart of the home where memories are to be made. There is space for a large dining table to fit the full family and entertain friends and loved ones, and the kitchen is well equipped with a range of sleek grey gloss wall and base units with complementing worktops over and high quality integrated appliances.

The first floor is completed by a further bedroom, currently set up as a study, a shower room, and a utility room.

Descend the elegant staircase which has an impressive bookcase fitted below, to the ground floor. 

The ground floor comprises of a four piece bathroom, and three double bedrooms, one of which benefitting from an en-suite shower room and direct access to outside.

Heading down to the basement, there is a workshop/boiler room, and a door to the most amazing, versatile space. 

The basement has been tanked and damp proofed, with essential services installed for a kitchen and its own shower room. The basement has a separate entrance from the main residence, so would be ideal for anyone looking to run a business from home, or would make an ideal granny flat, independent space for teenagers, cinema or games/hobby room.

Location
Holme Oak is situated within Manor Gardens, in the heart of Brampton. This attractive market town provides an ideal base for exploring the surrounding countryside and Hadrian's Wall, which lies approximately two miles away.

The border city of Carlisle is around 9.7 miles from the property and offers an extensive selection of shops, restaurants and bars, together with notable historic attractions such as Carlisle Castle and Cathedral.

Brampton is surrounded by the gently rolling countryside of the Irthing Valley and Geltsdale, which rises towards the dramatic landscape of the North Pennines. The area's rich mixture of woodland, farmland and moorland is crossed by numerous footpaths, bridleways and quiet country roads, making it excellent walking and cycling territory.

Several accessible woodland areas are located close to the town, including Gelt Woods, Miltonrigg Wood, Rowbank Wood, Talkin Tarn and The Mote and Ridge Wood. These are complemented by waymarked routes and useful information panels. Slightly farther afield, the hanging woodlands along the Irthing Gorge at Combe Crag Wood and Gilsland Spa offer further opportunities to enjoy the area's natural beauty.

The surrounding countryside is dotted with attractive rural villages, including Laversdale, Irthington, Walton, Lanercost, Talkin, Low Row and Hallbankgate. The former mining communities of Tindale and Midgeholme lie towards the Pennines, while the historic spa village of Gilsland straddles the boundary between Cumbria and Northumberland.

To the north lies Hadrian's Wall, the 75-mile Roman fortification stretching from the Solway Firth to Wallsend-on-Tyne. Once marking the northern frontier of the Roman Empire, the route features strategically positioned forts, milecastles, turrets and signal stations. Many of these sites are easily reached via the Hadrian's Wall bus service, which also connects with the Hadrian's Wall Path National Trail and Hadrian's Cycleway.

Holme Oak must be seen to be truly appreciated, and I look forward to showing you around.
