Summary - FLAT 3, HILLCREST HOUSE, HARRABY GROVE, CARLISLE CA1 2QN
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, low-maintenance flat with parking and long lease — ideal starter buy or let.
Ground-floor one-bedroom apartment, convenient for city centre access
A compact ground-floor one-bedroom flat offering straightforward, low-maintenance living close to Carlisle city centre. The apartment is presented in neutral décor with laminate floors, a separate kitchen, bathroom with shower-over-bath and an average-sized living room—ready to occupy or rent out immediately.
Practical extras include an allocated off-street parking space, communal rear garden with lockable access, gas central heating (boiler and radiators) and double glazing. The long lease (961 years) and a modest service charge (£420) make ownership predictable; Council Tax is very low and there is no reported flood risk.
The building dates from the early 20th century with solid brick walls (no known insulation), so there is potential to improve energy efficiency and reduce running costs. Note the area records above-average crime levels; buyers should consider security and insurance implications. The setting is convenient for local shops, regular buses and Junction 42 of the M6, making it suitable for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a city-edge property with immediate rental potential.
Overall this is a practical, compact home that benefits from allocated parking and communal outside space. It will suit someone wanting a simple, inexpensive step onto the ladder or an investor looking for a manageable let, though modest upgrades to thermal performance and security would add value.
