Carlisle 4.2 miles. This pleasant single-storey property, Tulip Lodge, is nestled in the small town of Blackford, a stone's throw away from Carlisle, Cumbria. With plenty of heritage on its door step waiting to be explored, this luxurious lodge is ideal for two couples looking to learn more about this historical part of Cumbria. You're welcomed by an off-road parking space upon your arrival at the property, leading you to a set of steps up to the enclosed decked area that lavishly wraps around the side and opening up to the rear, ensuring you're able to make the most of the sun before it goes down in the evening. Stepping over the threshold you enter into a beautifully-presented open-plan living space, boasting a contemporary and stylish décor, whilst maintaining a traditional element with an electric fire tucked away under the mantle piece resembling a woodburning stove, Prepare a meal in the amply-equipped kitchen, fit with a dishwasher so there's no arguing over who is doing the washing up, and sit together around the dining table, elegantly designed with a marble effect worktop, enjoying your tasty delights and indulging in laughter over a bottle of wine. Sink in to one of the plush armchairs and enjoy a spot of television, opening up the patio doors to fill the room with the fresh countryside air before retiring to bed. Decide between the double bedroom, benefitting from its own en-suite WC or the twin room, both charmingly decorated with a neutral colour pattern and offering plenty of storage space to house your belongings. The family bathroom completes the property, featuring a spacious walk-in shower to help wake you up in the morning before another day of exploring. A quick drive along the A7 towards Carlisle centre will bring you to a good selection of supermarkets, restaurants and takeaways, as well as family-friendly pubs serving food, for when you fancy a night off from cooking duties. Carlisle’s position at the confluence of the rivers Eden, Caldew and Petteri make it a popular spot for salmon fishing as well as picturesque riverside strolls. Visit the imposing 12th century castle and prison, which contains a collection of Roman relics, before making your way to the impressive cathedral to admire its 15th century architecture and art. The famous Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery houses a range of fascinating artefacts like weaponry, as well as fine art exhibits, and the selection of tea rooms and cafés close by means you can end your afternoon with a sweat treat. Keen golfers will be spoilt for choice by golf clubs in the area, including Carlisle Golf Club, which has stood since the early 1900s. Avid walkers can embark on the incredible Hadrian’s Wall walk, which stretches for almost 85 miles and encompasses Roman forts and turrets, with the scenic rolling countryside of the Northumberland National Park as a backdrop. The Solway Coast AONB provides breath-taking coastal views, a chance to see a spectacular array of wildlife and ample opportunities for birdwatching, while a day by the sea can be enjoyed in the Victorian seaside town of Silloth. Spend an unforgettable evening at Kielder Forest Park to experience unrivalled stargazing under its clear sky, while just 10 miles away is the Scottish border, which you can cross to find Gretna Green and Anvil Hall, its famous wedding venue. Spend quality time with your loved ones exploring northern Cumbria from this wonderful holiday home.
Located just 10 miles south of the Scottish Borders is the city of Carlisle, aptly nicknamed the Border City, the largest city in England by area and the urban capital of Cumbria. Home to historical sites such as Hadrian's Wall, Cumbria's Museum of Military Life and Carlisle Castle, there's plenty of heritage to explore. The city is located within easy reach of many popular villages and attractions such as Gretna Green where couples under the age of 21 famously traveled to get wed without their parents' consent.
