On arrival at Solway House you can instantly feel the properties grand and charming presence with the striking stone pillars either side of the traditional front door and past the front forecourt garden.

You enter the home into the spacious entrance vestibule with plenty of space to hang up your coats and take off your walking boots after those wonderful Countryside walks.

The elegant L shaped hallway with traditional coving and architraves is simply breath taking and sets you up for a spectacular tour. Huge rooms, high ceilings and beautiful period features are what this home is all about.

The lounge is to the right of the hallway and is flooded with natural light from the front sash window which has wooden shutters and stunning views over the Solway, working open fire in marble fireplace and two arched display areas in the alcoves.

The dining room is to your left, it has held some fantastic parties over the years and is ready for many more with a sash window to the front, two arched display areas in the alcoves and working open fire.

The utility room is plumbed, has a sink, storage units and plenty of space for a tall fridge freezer or two chest freezers. 

The kitchen is a great size and the wall and base units with worktops over are of handmade oak. The oil Rayburn heats the first floor and sits in a striking inglenook fireplace. The stable door leads out to the rear garden, there is a rear staircase to one of the bedrooms and a door leading down to the large cellar. 

There is also a downstairs WC with wash hand basin.

The first floor has four double bedrooms, three of which have built in storage and one with an En-Suite shower room. 

The family bathroom which has been made into an accessible shower room with walk in shower, WC and wash hand basin, leads into the servants quarters (fifth bedroom) which would make the most fantastic home office space, guest room or play room and has a staircase down to the kitchen.

There is access from the landing via fitted loft ladder to the huge attic space which would easily convert into two additional bedrooms, would be great for a home business or would allow you to hoard as much stuff as your heart desires.

The rear garden is of a generous size and is very private with gated access allowing you to park up to four vehicles here if you wish. There is an 8' x 6' wooden, sola powered shed, a 3' x 4' aluminium shed and a 6' x 3' greenhouse.

Across the road from the front of the house is three acres of land which belongs to the property and would be perfect for any larger pets, allotments or just superb land to enjoy as a family breathing in the fresh sea air. If maintaining the land is not for you and it's just the house you are interested in, the land could be sold by the current owners separately.

Port Carlisle is a wonderful place to live. Hadrian’s Wall Path passes through the village, to its western end at Bowness-on-Solway. It is a peaceful and idyllic village but a wealth of amenities are close by, giving you the best of both worlds. The active bowling green is just over the road as well as the bus stop which provides a limited service into Carlisle, which is just 11 miles away.

Well renowned Bowness-On-Solway Primary School is a 4 minute drive away and ever popular Nelson Thomlinson Secondary school is 11 miles away. The Kings Arms pub is just 1 mile away and the lovely village of Kirkbride is 5 miles away, with the highly sought after village of Burgh-By-Sands 6 miles away.

Solway House is a very special property indeed, ready and waiting for its next chapter. It is not so big that a couple would feel they were rattling around, but would welcome a family that would reap the benefits of the space. You wouldn't want to lose the original features and character, but there is room to improve the home even further and put your own stamp on it.

This is a fantastic opportunity that should not be missed, and I would urge you to arrange a viewing so that you can see for yourself just how much Solway House has to offer.
