Summary - 38, Thirlwell Gardens, CARLISLE CA1 2DU
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Ground-floor apartment with garden, garage and long lease — ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Ground-floor two-bedroom flat with living/dining room
Generous rear garden with semi-rural outlook
Garage plus private off-street parking
Approx 586 sq ft — overall size described as small
Long lease (circa 943 years) and very low council tax
Electric storage heaters — heating may be costly to run
Flooded in 2005 and 2015; flood defences since improved
Easy access to city centre, A69, M6 and local amenities
A ground-floor two-bedroom flat that balances city convenience with semi-rural calm. The living/dining room and modern kitchen give practical, move-in-ready space for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The generous rear garden and semi-rural outlook are rare for a ground-floor apartment and create useful outdoor space for relaxing or gardening.
Practical benefits include a garage and off-street parking, easy access to the city, A69 and M6, and a short walk to Carlisle United Football Club. The long lease (circa 943 years) removes typical leasehold timing concerns, and council tax is very low, keeping ongoing costs down.
Notable issues are factual: overall internal size is small (about 586 sq ft) and heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be costly compared with gas in winter. The property recorded flooding in 2005 and 2015; flood defences have since been improved, and current flood risk is assessed as low, but buyers should satisfy themselves on insurance and long-term risk. No mains heating or appliance tests are recorded here, so plan for checks as part of purchase.
This home suits a first-time buyer seeking garden space and good transport links, or an investor after a compact, centrally located ground-floor flat with independent parking and a garage. It offers straightforward potential: cosmetic updating and heating improvements would add comfort and rental/value appeal.
