This first-floor one-bedroom apartment occupies a converted mill with high ceilings, exposed brick and large windows that flood the living space with natural light. The layout includes a double bedroom, separate kitchen and two useful storage cupboards, making efficient use of the 603 sq ft internal area. Chain-free and with an EPC rating of C, it’s ready for immediate occupation or targeted improvement.
Practical positives include an allocated garage parking space, communal landscaped gardens and a very long lease (971 years). Double glazing helps retain heat, but the property is heated by electric storage heaters and the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks wall insulation; prospective buyers should budget for modernisation and ongoing electric heating costs.
Costs and locality notes: service charge is approximately £1,740 per year and council tax is very low. The area is classed as ‘families in terraces and flats’ with easy access to Carlisle town centre and local schools, but recorded crime is above average—buyers should assess security and insurance implications. Broadband speeds are average while mobile signal is excellent.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking character and a central location, or an investor after a low-entry priced flat with parking and long lease. It offers clear potential for improvement (insulation, heating upgrades, cosmetic modernisation) to increase comfort and long-term value.
