Part of a gorgeous Georgian townhouse, this high-end holiday home is in the heart of the city yet has both a courtyard garden and private parking. Beautifully styled rooms spread across two storeys make it a perfect base for a break with friends or family.
Just moments from Carlisle’s retail and cultural centre, this elegant getaway blends original architectural details with every modern must-have. A grand hallway welcomes guests inside; make your way to the back of the property and you’ll pass a handy shower room en route to a contemporary kitchen/diner complete with clever bench-style seating at the central dining table. A feature fireplace adds authenticity to the setting, while ample counter space allows you to prepare tasty self-catered meals. When you’re ready to unwind, make your way to the lounge where double windows, high ceilings and an ornate fireplace complement the choice of soft seating and Smart TV. When it’s time to sleep, three bedrooms are on the first floor – two have a king-size bed, the third has twin beds, and all share use of an on-trend bathroom with both a walk-in shower and a free-standing bath. Despite the town-centre location, this delightful holiday home has a compact courtyard furnished for al fresco food and drinks.
An off-road parking space – and various car parks nearby – allow you to forget about your vehicles for a while; Carlisle’s bustling boutiques, inns and eateries are on your doorstep, while the castle, cathedral, and Tullie Museum are all within half a mile. Cyclists can follow the National Cycle Route 7 that passes through the city; if you’d prefer to explore the surrounding countryside and coastline by car, the Lake District, North Pennines, and the Solway Coast are all within 13 miles. As one of England’s northernmost cities, Carlisle is only 10 miles from the Scottish border so you can visit the famous Hadrian’s Wall too.
