Chic social spaces and a trio of beautiful bedrooms are complemented by a cute courtyard garden at this city-centre abode. With a wealth of period features and the bonus of private parking, it’s a fine choice for any party of six.Just moments from Carlisle’s vibrant retail and cultural centre, this mid-terrace townhouse is sophisticated and stylish throughout, Steps lead up to the front door; once inside, head from the hallway into the living room, where soft seating is arranged before a Smart TV while light floods in through double windows and a feature fireplace adds authentic detailing. There’s similar styling in the kitchen/diner at the end of the hallway, where high-end appliances and plenty of counter space are sure to inspire every chef. A lovely shower room completes the ground-floor layout, complementing the luxury bathroom on the first floor which features both a free-standing bath and a walk-in shower. The three bedrooms along the hallway are all equally appealing – choose between two arranged as king-size rooms and one with twin beds. For a breath of fresh air, open the double doors from the kitchen/diner onto the rear courtyard which, though compact, is furnished for al fresco food and drinks.
