This spacious first-floor flat in Willow Place offers over 1,000 sq ft of thoughtfully arranged living space, delivered within a purpose-built, modern development (constructed 2003–2006). The apartment has two double bedrooms, two contemporary bathrooms including an ensuite, and an open-plan kitchen/living area with a large bay window that brings in natural light. Lift access, a secure communal entrance and two allocated off-street parking spaces add everyday convenience and security. Sold with no onward chain and a long lease (979 years), the property is straightforward for buyers and investors.
The home has proven rental success and suits first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors seeking reliable income and low initial maintenance. Communal grounds are maintained and the service charge is approximately £1,140 per year (circa £95 per month), covering insurance, cleaning and landscaping. EPC rating C and council tax band C help keep running costs reasonable, though main heating is electric with a boiler and radiators.
Notable practical points: broadband speeds in the area are reported slow, and heating is electric rather than gas, which may affect running costs for some households. The property is leasehold, so buyers should note the service charge and long lease terms; there are no known flooding risks and the area has low crime and good mobile signal.
Location is a strong selling point: the quiet no-through road setting backs onto green space and a children’s play park, yet Carlisle city centre is a short drive away for shops and transport links. Nearby primary schools are rated Good, making the flat attractive to small families as well as investors targeting the local rental market.
