Etterby Lea Crescent, Carlisle, CA3 9LG

This Is How You Make The Most Of A Substantial Semi On A Corner Plot. The ground floor has been transformed with an extension, creating a superb sociable dining kitchen / family room. It’s an ideal family home, only a short stroll from the river. Property ref: KD0516

If you want to see how extending a property can make a huge difference, look no further.

The current owners bought this substantial corner plot semi around five years ago and at the time it had a traditional ground floor layout - with two reception rooms, a small galley kitchen and and a conservatory at the rear.

It’s unrecognisable now. They’ve added a substantial rear extension which also wraps around the side of the house.

That’s allowed the creation of a superb, sociable kitchen / diner / family room which dominates the rear of the house.

As you’d expect the kitchen is sleek and stylish, with gorgeous dark fitted units, integrated appliances and an island unit.

The lounge has been opened up to add a breakout space to chill out together, leaving the front reception room as a space to sneak away when you want some peace and quiet.

Despite stealing some space for the extension, the back garden still has plenty of room for a patio seating area, a small lawn and a wooden garden office outbuilding.

Upstairs has not been dramatically updated, however the three bedrooms (two doubles and a single) and the family bathroom are all in immaculate condition.

The small garden at the front has been turned into a tarmac drive, with space to park a couple of cars.

Etterby Lea Crescent is in a popular part of town that’s only a 5 minute walk down to the River Eden, ideal for morning jogs or weekend family walks. 

The location is practical for families too - Stanwix Primary School (rated “Good” by Ofsted) is less than a 10 minute walk away. 

Need to do some shopping? The City Centre is less than a 10 minute drive or you can choose between a 15 minute bus ride or a pleasant 25 minute walk along the river into town.

You don’t actually need to head into town for your day-to-day bits & bobs. There’s a choice of local shops and takeaways on nearby Scotland Road - including a Sainsbury’s Local.

This is a spacious and versatile modern family home in a sought after part of town.

I’m expecting plenty of interest from families wanting to move in and make themselves at home - so don’t miss out - call me to arrange a viewing.
