Wood Street, Carlisle, CA1 2SF

Everything You Could Think Of Has Already Been Done - And Done Brilliantly. A completely refurbished and extended family home with a wood-burner, a kitchen-diner everyone will live in, and a private, low maintenance landscaped garden. On a quiet cul-de-sac just 5 mins from Tesco and the M6. Property ref: KD0516

Most families who have been through a renovation will tell you the same thing: it takes longer, costs more, and disrupts daily life far more than anyone warned you. Surely it makes sense to just buy somewhere that’s already been done - to a superb standard.

The current owners bought this detached family home in 2018 and have completely refurbished it from top to bottom, including an extension over the garage that has transformed the first floor. 

The living room sets the tone straight away, with a wood-burner set against a full-height stacked stone feature wall and parquet-effect flooring underfoot. 

The kitchen-diner is the real heart of the home. High-gloss anthracite grey units, granite worktops, under-unit LED lighting and large format floor tiles give it a finish that wouldn't look out of place in a much more expensive home. French doors open straight out to the garden, so in summer the whole space flows from kitchen to patio without a second thought.

There's a utility room just off the kitchen too, keeping the washing machine and the general clutter of family life nicely tucked away - along with a downstairs WC for good measure.

Upstairs, the layout works for a busy modern family. The main bedroom (added thanks to the extension) has fitted wardrobes and its own ensuite - a stylish shower room with full-height stone-effect wall panels and a sleek vanity unit. 

Bedroom two is a comfortable double with plenty of natural light. Bedroom three also a double works well as a younger child's room or a home office. Bedroom four has a clever raised bed with built-in storage underneath - perfect for a child who likes to feel like they're living in a treehouse. 

The family bathroom is finished in a bold charcoal with a full white suite, with a shower over the bath.

Outside, the rear garden has been landscaped with a large grey porcelain tiled patio - plenty of room for a table, chairs and the kind of summer evenings that make you glad you bought the house. 

Beyond the patio there's a small lawn for the kids, with timber fencing all round for privacy. At the front, the block-paved driveway takes three or four cars comfortably, and there's a single built in garage too.

51 Wood Street is tucked away at the end of a quiet no through road, with Tesco and the M6 only a 5 minute drive away. There’s a handy pedestrian cut which means you can walk to the shops in 10 minutes if you’re not doing a big shop. And for families, the area is well served by local schools within easy reach.

If you've been searching for a family home that's 100% ready to move in and just get on with your lives - properly finished, extended and on a quiet street with everything you need close by - this is a strong contender.

I’m expecting plenty of interest, so get in touch to arrange a viewing before someone else does.
