Charter Gardens, Kirkby Stephen, CA17

Welcome Home to Charter Gardens...
Tucked away in the highly sought-after and peaceful cul-de-sac of Charter Gardens, this beautifully presented semi-detached home offers contemporary living in an exceptionally tranquil setting. The approach alone sets the tone, a stylish and quiet residential lane bordered by well-kept gardens and modern homes, with the impressive backdrop of Kirkby Stephen Grammar School’s playing fields to the front and open countryside beyond.
Number 21 enjoys private parking for two cars directly outside and a neat shared lawn that adds a touch of greenery to the frontage. The property’s clean rendered façade, offset by the striking anthracite grey composite front door with its five-point locking system, gives a refined, modern feel from the very first glance.
Stepping inside, the entrance hallway immediately conveys warmth and sophistication. Panelling runs along both sides, painted in a soft dove grey that harmonises beautifully with the engineered oak-effect flooring flowing throughout the ground floor. The oak-veneered internal doors bring a sense of quality and continuity, while the property also benefits from a modern TAG alarm system for added peace of mind.
To the right of the hallway is a stylish cloakroom fitted with a low-flush WC, a floating vanity with cupboard storage, and a chrome wall-mounted towel rail. Continuing along the hallway, a deep understairs cupboard provides excellent storage space and houses the electrical consumer unit.
The hallway leads into the heart of the home, a beautifully light and open-plan kitchen and dining area designed with both style and practicality in mind. The kitchen features a range of soft cashmere-coloured cabinets topped with luxurious black marble-effect work surfaces and complemented by a black Rangemaster composite sink with a chrome mixer tap. Integrated appliances include a Bosch oven, four-ring hob, and extractor hood, with space provided for an American-style fridge-freezer and plumbing for a washing machine. A tall column radiator adds a contemporary touch, and the front-facing sash double-glazed windows allow an abundance of natural light to fill the space.
The open-plan layout flows seamlessly into the lounge, a wonderfully inviting space where comfort meets modern design. The current owners have created a bespoke media wall with subtle lighting and decorative niches, perfect for displaying personal touches. There is provision for an Opti-flame fire and ample space for a large flat-screen television. French doors open directly onto the garden, allowing natural light to flood in and creating an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living.
The garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to make full use of its shape and levels. A patio area sits immediately outside the French doors, ideal for outdoor dining or morning coffee, while gently stepped tiers lead down to two neat lawned sections. The garden enjoys a north-easterly aspect, capturing the morning and early afternoon sun, with open views across to Stobars Hall and the surrounding countryside, a peaceful and picturesque outlook that adds to the property’s sense of calm.
Returning indoors, the staircase features a smooth oak handrail and a full turn, leading up to a bright and airy landing where the home’s elegant palette continues.
To the left lies a versatile bedroom currently arranged as a dressing room, fitted with rails, shelving and glass-fronted wardrobes, though easily adaptable back to a generous double if desired. The second bedroom, presently styled as a charming nursery, is another comfortable double with soft oatmeal-toned walls and plush grey carpeting throughout.
The family bathroom is finished to an excellent standard, featuring a modern white suite with a shower over the bath, contemporary aqua-panelled walls in taupe and mocha tones, and a floating vanity with drawer storage. A chrome heated towel rail and mirrored cabinetry complete this stylish space.
The principal bedroom is a beautifully proportioned and restful retreat. A feature wall in heritage British racing green sets a rich, elegant tone, complemented by vintage-inspired Edison bulb wall lights. The large double-glazed window frames delightful views over the rear garden and open fields beyond, while an alcove offers room for freestanding furniture or wardrobes. The bedroom also benefits from a private en-suite shower room, finished in the same chic design as the main bathroom, with a floating vanity, chrome fittings, an enclosed shower cubicle and an obscured double-glazed window to the front.
A loft hatch above provides additional storage, and the property is fully double-glazed and gas centrally heated.
