Ravenside Lodge Wreay | Carlisle | Cumbria | CA4 0RJ

RAVENSIDE LODGE Ravenside Lodge Kennels is a fantastic combination of successful, well-established business and beautiful family home, located in a semi-rural setting in North Cumbria.

INTRODUCTION Ravenside Lodge is a substantial and imposing detached former stone lodge which has been carefully modernised and sympathetically extended to provide spacious family accommodation.

On the ground floor the hallway leads to a separate dining room, and a large welcoming kitchen/breakfast room with open access to the cosy living area. Double patio doors from the kitchen take you out to the enclosed Indian sandstone patio area. There is also a useful utility room and a larger than average downstairs cloakroom with cubicle shower.

To the first floor there are three double bedrooms, the main bedroom with en-suite shower room, and the fourth bedroom is currently being used as an office. The family bathroom is fitted with a free-standing Victorian style bath and complementary fittings.

The main residence sits just inside the private gated entrance at the front of the site. There are well tendered lawn garden areas, well stocked borders with plants and shrubs, and a view overlooking fields. There is ample parking for several vehicles.
