Newlaithes Avenue,Carlisle,CA2 6PX

The View From The Street Doesn’t Give Much Away - Prepare For A Stylish Surprise Inside. You'll find an affordable first home that's been thoughtfully updated, with a gorgeous kitchen, a tastefully timeless lounge and a luxurious bathroom. And the sun trap garden is low maintenance too. Property ref: KD0516

There's a version of first-time buying where you walk through your own front door every evening and feel genuinely lucky. Someone has put real thought into every room of this place - and it shows from the moment you step inside.

The kitchen-diner is the heart of it. Gloss white handleless units and concrete-effect worktops give it a clean, modern feel - and the arched opening that connects the dining area to the cooking space gives it something a bit special. There's a gas hob, integrated oven and microwave, and a door straight out to the garden for when you want to spill outside.

The separate lounge runs to nearly 18 feet and has a timeless and tasteful style of its own. The cast iron fireplace with a marble surround is the centrepiece and there are French doors opening out to the garden. 

Upstairs, the bathroom is a proper grown up treat - fully tiled in grey stone-effect, with shower over the bath, a vanity unit and chrome fittings throughout. 

Both bedrooms are doubles. The main bedroom has fitted wardrobes and a mirrored sliding wardrobe, and the second bedroom is light and bright with plenty of room for a double bed. 

Outside, the southeast facing back garden has been designed to be enjoyed rather than managed. A large Indian sandstone patio covers the full width of the garden with a small manageable patch of lawn and a shed/summerhouse at the rear. There’s an off-street parking bay and a low maintenance garden at the front.

Newlaithes Avenue is a popular street, and it's easy to see why. Chances Park is a short walk away - perfect for a morning run, a dog walk or just getting some fresh air. If you’re planning ahead, Newlaithes Infant and Junior Schools (both rated “Good” by Ofsted), are under five minutes walk away. 

And if you need to get into Carlisle city centre, it's less than 10 minutes in the car or a 30 minute walk if you fancy earning your coffee.

This is a surprising starter home that looks modest from the pavement and delivers something genuinely impressive behind the front door - at a price that still makes sense for a first-time buyer.

Get in touch to arrange a viewing - I’m expecting plenty of interest.
