<p>Nestled in proximity to Hadrian's Wall and the border city of Carlisle, this apartment is surrounded by a rich tapestry of history and picturesque countryside. Merely 5 miles away lies the market town of Brampton, renowned for its independent shops and cafes. Granted a Market Charter in 1252 by King Henry III, the town's markets thrive nearly 800 years later. The delightful cobbled market square hosts two market days&mdash;a weekly Wednesday event and a farmers' market on the last Saturday of each month. A short 7-mile drive brings you to the city of Carlisle, while the famous Scottish wedding destination of Gretna Green beckons just 14 miles away. For a day of exploration, consider venturing 30 miles to the Lake District National Park, where a variety of options await, from a leisurely trip on a steamer across Ullswater to adventurous hikes up the Wainwrights or engaging in invigorating water sports.</p> <p>This cosy first-floor apartment is accessed via the shared entrance into the converted barn. Upon entering the apartment, step into a warm and inviting open-plan living space that seamlessly combines the living, dining and kitchen areas. The d&eacute;cor reflects a blend of contemporary convenience, exposed wooden beams and comfortable furnishings. The living room beckons you to unwind on the sofa, after a day of exploring the surrounding countryside. The well-equipped kitchen boasts all the expected appliances and all the necessary utensils for preparing a delicious meal or hearty breakfast. The dining area nearby provides the perfect setting for catching up on the day's events and making plans for the days ahead.
