This substantial Victorian townhouse on Etterby Street offers generous living space across four bedrooms and three reception rooms, ideal for a growing family. Original period features — including a light-filled bay window, high ceilings and an original cast-iron fireplace — give the home clear character, while practical upgrades such as recent double glazing and a fitted kitchen provide everyday comfort.
The layout works well for family life: an entrance vestibule, a large hallway incorporating an open-plan dining area, a living room with bay window, a sun room leading to a south-facing rear yard, and two bathrooms (one on the ground floor, one modern family bathroom on the first floor). The rear courtyard is a genuine sun trap for afternoon light and low-maintenance outdoor space.
Practical points to note: the property is freehold, has gas central heating with the boiler in the kitchen, an EPC rating of D, and a medium flood risk for the area. While many windows have been upgraded recently, the home has been lived in for decades and may benefit from cosmetic updating in places to suit a new owner’s tastes.
Positioned in Stanwix, Carlisle, the house is close to primary schools, shops, pubs and local amenities, with good broadband and mobile signal and generally low crime. The size and traditional layout make it especially appealing to families seeking a period home with scope to modernise and personalise.
