The Castle Tower

Sitting on the grounds of Grade II-listed Garth House, this magnificent property offers the perfect base for families and groups of friends planning adventures across the Cumbrian countryside and North Pennines National Landscape. The market town of Brampton (0.5 miles) charms with its wealth of independent shops and choice of pubs, restaurants and cafes for the nights you don’t fancy cooking.

The world-famous Hadrian’s Wall passes nearby for keen history buffs – visit Walltown Quarry Country Park and the Roman Army Museum (both within 10 miles) to soak up the local heritage. Closer to home, Gelt Woods and Talkin Tarn Country Park (both within 3.5 miles) offer lovely spots for walking, water sports and fishing.

For more dramatic days of hiking, the property provides easy access to the North Pennines (3.5 miles) and the Lake District (21.5 miles). Days of shopping, attraction-hunting and eating out are also within reach, with bustling Carlisle awaiting 10 miles away.

Approach this high-end, red local sandstone property along a cute garden path that leads to the front door, opening into a handsome entrance space perfect for kicking off muddy walking boots. Be greeted by a light and airy, spacious living area with an open-plan design combining an inviting lounge with a well-appointed kitchen and dining area.

This social heart of the home invites guests to spread out and relax after days of Cumbrian adventure. On balmy days, slide open the garden doors to let the fresh countryside air fill the home.

Unwind in the lounge space; sink into the soft seating and flick on the Smart TV for easy entertainment. When stomachs rumble, a sleek kitchen stands ready for cooking up holiday feasts, to be enjoyed at the central dining table, at the kitchen island if numbers are low, or alfresco style up on the roof terrace.
