The Paddocks, Thursby, Carlisle, CA5 6PB

The quiet village has a local primaryThis Immaculate Ex-Showhome Bungalow Was Built In 2000 But The Sunset Views Are Timeless. It’s a spacious single storey home on a private plot, offering a quiet village way of life but near to the A595 when you do need to head into Carlisle. Property ref: KD0516

When it was first built in 2000, renowned local builder Lattimer Homes used this spacious bungalow as a showhome at the entrance to the estate.

It’s had a couple of owners since then but all have carefully looked after it, inside and out - it really is still in showhome condition.

It sits on a substantial, low maintenance plot that has a private garden and plenty of parking. There's enough room on the drive for several cars or even a caravan or motorhome.

The spacious lounge gets plenty of light through the bay window at the front and the French doors at the rear.

You may spend plenty of time looking out of the bay window, gazing at the nearby St Andrews church or taking in the sunset over the open fields which lie opposite.

The modern fitted kitchen is accessed from the rear of the lounge. It isn’t the biggest but there’s plenty of room at the back of the living room for a dining table and chairs next to the French doors.

There are three bedrooms - two doubles and a single, along with a separate study and utility room, both next to the built in single garage.

One of the bedrooms has an ensuite shower room, which is in addition to the stylish and modern family bathroom.

The small estate, made up of bungalows and family homes is on the northern edge of the village, close to the A595 and only seven miles outside Carlisle. 

There’s open fields on your doorstep and if you like to get out walking or to clock up the miles on your bike then getting out into the National Park will be a breeze.  

Bassenthwaite is the closest lake, with the north shore being less than 30 minutes drive away or around an hour and a half on the bike.

Thursby is a 20 minute drive from the centre of Carlisle, making it a manageable daily commute. Or if you wanted to avoid the city centre traffic and parking stress you could drive (or ride) to Dalston, park up and and get the train in. school (rated “Good” by Ofsted) and a village hall. You’d need to head to nearby Wigton or Dalston for your day-to-day shopping, takeaways and pubs.

This is a move-in-ready, versatile property on a popular estate. 

It may appeal to older buyers looking for a manageable property and also families wanting a single storey home and a quiet village lifestyle.

I’m expecting it to get plenty of interest, call me to arrange a private viewing.
