Durdar Road, Carlisle, CA2 4TR

Lose The Stairs But Not The Space - Right On The Edge Of The Countryside. If you’re not ready to escape to the country just yet but want open field views and room to breathe, this move-in ready detached bungalow on a private gated plot could be perfect. Property ref: KD0516

Tucked away behind remote-control gates, this spacious four-bedroom bungalow offers proper peace and privacy. You’ve got open field views at the front but it’s just a 10-minute drive into town and it will be even easier to get out and about when the Southern Link Road opens later this year.

The lounge is a great size, but chances are you’ll find yourself in the front sunroom most afternoons - feet up, book in hand, watching the light shift across the fields as the day winds down.

The kitchen is smart, modern and opens straight into the garden room, complete with roof lantern and bi-fold doors that make everything feel light and connected to the outside. It’s made for easy, everyday living - Sunday lunch one minute, doors open to the garden the next.

There’s space for everyone to spread out, including four proper bedrooms. The main bedroom has its own ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, while the other three are ideal for the kids, visitors or working from home. The family bathroom is a four-piece, and there’s an additional w/c by the kitchen.

And it’s not just the living space that delivers. There’s a utility room next to the kitchen plus a separate garage with its own workshop, toilet and a second utility room - ideal for storage, hobbies or a DIY project you’ve been meaning to get around to.

Outside, the gardens wrap right around the bungalow but are refreshingly low maintenance. There’s gated parking, a carport and plenty of room for guests.

It’s only a 5 minute walk to Carlisle Racecourse but even if you’re not a racing fan, the location is something special, being on the edge of the countryside with easy access to the city centre.

It’s only a 10 minute drive to the city centre - or if you were feeling fit you could walk it in around 45 minutes.

Families with younger children have a choice of primary schools within 5 minutes drive (both less than 25 minutes walk). Older kids can go to the local St John Henry Newman Catholic School in Carlisle or Caldew School in nearby Dalston.

It’s ideal for older buyers who don’t want stairs - but aren’t ready to lose space (or the versatility it brings). Or for families who need single storey flexibility and a home that’s ready to go from day one.

Bungalows are always popular, especially when they’re like this one, with plenty of room and nothing left for you to do. Don’t miss out, call me to arrange a viewing.
