Set within a small rural mews just outside Carlisle, this single-storey converted barn bungalow offers spacious, practical living on one level. The long living/dining room and separate kitchen/breakfast room provide room for entertaining or comfortable everyday life, while two double bedrooms suit downsizers or couples wanting ground-floor convenience.
The property retains character features such as exposed beams and traditional sandstone construction but requires some updating — fixtures and finishes are basic and there are signs of occupation. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the property uses a septic tank; a seller-commissioned septic report has been requested. Broadband speeds are very slow, which may affect home working options.
Outside, a paved courtyard, garden area and off-street parking for several vehicles are practical assets for rural living and visitors. Located about five minutes from Carlisle and Dalston with easy access to the M6 (J42), the bungalow balances countryside calm with nearby amenities.
This bungalow will suit buyers seeking a roomy single-level home to personalise, or investors after a conversion/refresh opportunity. Be aware of the need for modernization, electrical/heating considerations, and non-mains drainage when assessing running costs and any refurbishment budget.
