This loft-style ground-floor apartment in Higginson Mill offers generous space and industrial character within walking distance of Carlisle city centre. Original large windows, high ceilings and exposed brick provide an attractive, light-filled living area, while a mezzanine level adds flexible space currently used as two bedrooms or one large bedroom plus home office.
Practical features include allocated off-street parking, secure entry system and well-kept communal grounds. The long lease (973 years) and chain-free sale make the tenure straightforward. Service charge is approximately £1,704 per year and council tax is very cheap.
Considerations: the property is leasehold and has an EPC rating of D. Crime levels in the immediate area are reported above average; prospective buyers should satisfy themselves with local checks. The building is a converted mill, so while the industrial character is a strong selling point, some buyers may prefer more conventional layouts.
This home suits first-time buyers, professionals or investors seeking a distinctive, spacious one-bedroom with excellent transport links and city-centre convenience. The mezzanine creates options for home working, a larger bedroom, or rental flexibility for investment use.
