3 Bed Detached House For Sale Arthuret Drive, Carlisle, CA6

Bigger And Better Than Most Bungalows On This Quiet Cul-De-Sac, With A Double Garage That Gives You Options. There’s space to park several cars on the drive in front of this updated 1990’s dormer bungalow, so do you need a built-in double garage? Property ref: KD0516

Arthuret Drive is a quiet cul-de-sac of 1990’s built family homes and bungalows on the edge of the countryside and convenient for Carlisle city centre and the M6/A74(M).

And this superb three bedroom detached bungalow has been tastefully updated and improved, turning it into a versatile home that could appeal to families as well as the traditional older bungalow buyer.

And the addition of a built-in double garage at the side is great if you want somewhere secure to park your cars. But who does that these days? There’s really no need, especially with ample space to park on the block paved drive.

So instead of just filling it full of stuff, you may look at the double garage as giving you scope to transform the ground floor by creating additional rooms (subject to planning permission/building control approval, of course).

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. This is a lovely home that’s just fine as it is.

It sits on a substantial 650m² (7,000ft²) plot with the block paved drive at the front and a large, private and not overlooked garden at the rear.

It has a sociable open plan ground floor layout. The spacious lounge, dining room and kitchen form one large space perfect for cooking, eating and relaxing together. You’ll love the traditional stove in the lounge.

The kitchen is modern, with stylish fitted units and a breakfast bar.

There’s a conservatory at the rear (accessed from the dining room) which gives you great views of the large, beautifully landscaped back garden.

The ground floor also has one double bedroom, a handy utility room and a luxurious four piece bathroom.

Upstairs has another two double bedrooms and a w.c.

Arthuret Drive is only a short walk from the centre of Longtown, which has a Spar along with a couple of pubs and takeaways. 

The location is handy if you need to head off on the M6/A74(M) as Junction 45 at Gretna is only 10 minutes drive away.

It takes around 20 minutes to drive to the centre of Carlisle down the A7, making this a practical commute if you work in the city but don’t particularly want to live there.

If you are heading into Carlisle in the morning you can drop the kids off at school on the way. The nearby Longtown Primary School is the closest primary school and is rated “Good” by Ofsted.

The property is within the William Howard Secondary School catchment area. 

This immaculate bungalow is in fabulous condition - inside and out. It’s likely to appeal to the traditional older bungalow buyer as well as families looking to enjoy the edge of the countryside location.

And the potential to make it even better by converting the built-in double garage may get your creative juices flowing if you can think of a use for the additional space.

Whether you’re thinking ahead or just like the look of it as it is, call me to arrange a viewing.
