A well-presented three-bedroom period terrace offering spacious, characterful living across two floors. The property combines original features—high ceilings and stained-glass skylight—with practical modern touches such as a recently fitted boiler, double glazing and a contemporary bathroom. Two reception rooms and a wide principal bedroom give flexible space suited to first-time buyers, couples or small families.
Outside is a small, low-maintenance rear yard and a covered car port with power and lighting, rare for a terraced street and useful for secure off-street parking or a workshop. The property is freehold and positioned within walking distance of Carlisle city centre and local amenities, including supermarkets, bakeries and primary schools rated Good.
Buyers should note material local factors: the neighbourhood records very high crime and the wider area is classed as deprived, which may affect resilience of resale or rental demand. The mid-terrace was built c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, so buyers may wish to budget for thermal improvements. Plot size is small and there is only one full bathroom (plus a first-floor WC).
Overall this home offers immediate move-in condition with scope to improve energy performance and personalise finishes. At £140,000 it represents accessible period living close to town amenities, best suited to purchasers prepared to accept local area challenges while benefiting from the house’s ready-to-use accommodation and useful off-street space.
