Long Marton, Appleby-in-westmorland, CA16

Take a look at this beautiful, traditional mid-mews railway cottage located on the outskirts of Long Marton. Typical of Victorian railway houses, the property is built from blonde sandstone 'Derby Gothic', and is well maintained and attractively presented, offering much more than meets the eye. Positioned in a southerly aspect with an open outlook of the Pennines and lying within the Settle-Carlisle Railway Conservation Area, this distinctive cottage provides deceptively spacious accommodation over three floors. The property briefly comprises porch, living room, kitchen/diner and shower room to the ground floor, three double bedrooms and WC to the first floor with a spiral staircase leading to a generous, fully boarded and well insulated attic room.  Furthermore, to the rear, a large paved patio provides access to the outbuilding, which is split into three, with a good sized room, ideal as a utility space, and two smaller adjoining rooms currently used for log and recycling bin storage.

The garden is positioned behind the outbuilding and proves to be deceptive in size, allowing you to meander along a grassed pathway to a patio seating area, an array of established meadow beds, shrubs, flower beds and trees with a further private seating area to the top of the garden enjoying lovely views.

Long Marton lies just a mile off the A66, three miles north of Appleby and around eleven miles south east of Penrith. This is a thriving village with modern primary school, nursery, church, public house/restaurant and village hall. Appleby caters well for everyday needs with small supermarkets, secondary school, excellent sports facilities and a railway station on the scenic Settle to Carlisle line. Appleby golf course is at Brackenber Moor just over two miles south of the town. 

Mains electricity, water and shared septic tank drainage. Electric boiler installed for central heating and hot water and double glazing installed. Telephone line installed subject to BT regulations. Please note - the mention of any appliances and/or services within these particulars does not imply that they are in full and efficient working order.

From Appleby, head northward out of the town and follow the main road around to the right just after the Grammar School, under the railway and bypass bridges continuing on until reaching the centre of Long Marton. On the right is the village hall; turn right here and on leaving the village proceed under the railway bridge and the cottages can be seen on the right hand side of the road. No. 4 is the fourth in the terrace.
