Treat yourselves to a city break for two at this stylish apartment in the heart of Carlisle. Located on the second floor of an elegant apartment building, the property has a contemporary open-plan layout with plenty of character. With the North Pennines, Lake District and Solway Coast all within easy reach, the apartment is an excellent base for couples keen to combine sightseeing with days in the great outdoors.
Inside, exposed brickwork and a sloping ceiling add interest to the lounge, kitchen and dining area, while sleek furnishings give the apartment a polished feel. The well-equipped kitchen makes preparing dinner for two straightforward, with the dining table positioned beside the window for meals with a view. Later, settle onto the large sofa with the Smart TV before heading through to the comfortable king-size bedroom tucked under the sloping eaves of the roof. A generous shower room completes the apartment. There’s no private outdoor area, but Bitts Park is half a mile away and makes a lovely place to get some fresh air. Follow the River Eden through the park, passing colourful rhododendrons and golden weeping willows, or simply find a bench and watch the world go by. There’s no on-site parking, however, there are various pay-and-display car parks 100 metres away.
Nearby, uncover some history at Carlisle Castle, 0.5 miles away, or head 10 miles to the North Pennines for walks among dramatic scenery. Alternatively, venture 13 miles into the Lake District National Park and experience some of the UK’s most beautiful landscapes. The beaches of the Solway Coast are also 13 miles away, while Gretna Green, 10 miles, brings the chance to visit the famous Old Blacksmith’s Shop and explore its romantic associations.
