This ground-floor, two-double-bedroom apartment in Caldew Maltings offers a roomy, low-maintenance home ideal for a first-time buyer. The open-plan 31' living/kitchen creates a bright social hub, while a master en-suite and separate bathroom give practical flexibility for sharers or a young couple. Outside there is a private patio, communal gardens and residents’ off-street parking.
The building is modern in appearance, well-maintained, double glazed and fitted with updated electric heating and an intercom entry system. The flat is chain free and comes with a very long lease (circa 963 years), simplifying purchase logistics and long-term security of tenure. Local amenities include supermarkets, frequent bus stops, Carlisle city centre and the Cumberland Infirmary all within easy walking distance.
Important negatives are stated plainly: the property flooded in 2015 and the area records very high crime and overall deprivation indices. Heating is electric with room heaters rather than gas central heating, which may mean higher running costs. Buyers should factor in flood history investigations, appropriate insurance costs and any desired improvements to heating or security.
For a first-time buyer seeking an affordable, centrally located apartment with strong practical advantages (low maintenance, allocated parking, long lease) this flat represents clear value — provided you accept the local crime statistics and address the recorded flood history before purchase.
