This extended Victorian semi offers practical family living with a notably large rear garden and secure gated parking. The layout includes a lounge, dining room, separate sitting room, kitchen, utility and one family bathroom, with three bedrooms upstairs — useful for young families or buyers wanting flexible space.
The property is heated by an oil-fired boiler with radiators and benefits from double glazing, though the glazing install date is unknown. Walls are original solid brick and assumed to have no built-in insulation, and the EPC is D. These facts point to likely running and upgrade costs over time, but also offer clear opportunities for targeted improvement and value-adding retrofit work.
Set in popular Longtown, the house is well placed for local shops, a good primary school, healthcare and leisure facilities, and provides easy access to Carlisle, the M6 and southern Scotland — handy for commuters. Council tax is low, and mobile and broadband connections are good, making the home practical for remote working.
Buyers should note the area records above-average crime and the wider locality is classified as very deprived; that context may affect resale or rental considerations. The property is freehold, modest in internal size (about 753 sq ft) but sits on a large plot, so it will suit purchasers who prioritise outdoor space and who are prepared to carry out or budget for energy-efficiency improvements.
