Some homes have a warmth and character that simply cannot be replicated, and Number 60 Bowman Street is one of them. Lovingly owned and cherished by the same family for many decades, this substantial four-bedroom Victorian mid-terraced home effortlessly combines the generous proportions and period charm that buyers adore with the practicality required for modern family life. 

Arranged over three spacious floors and offered to the market with the added benefit of No Onward Chain, this is a wonderful opportunity to own a home that has been filled with happy memories and is now ready to begin its next chapter.

Positioned within easy walking distance of Carlisle city centre, Number 60 enjoys a highly convenient location while still offering the character and space that period properties are renowned for. High ceilings, generous room proportions, original features and excellent natural light combine to create a home that feels both welcoming and surprisingly spacious throughout.

Stepping through the front door, you are greeted by an attractive entrance vestibule, a practical space for welcoming family and guests before continuing into the impressive main hallway. Immediately, the proportions of the property become apparent, with high ceilings adding an incredible sense of openness while the staircase rises elegantly to the upper floors.

Located at the front of the property is the beautifully proportioned living room.

This is a wonderfully comfortable room where two large front-facing windows allow natural light to flood the space throughout the day. High ceilings, decorative coving and a feature gas fireplace combine to create a room full of warmth and character, making it the perfect place to relax with family or enjoy cosy evenings during the colder months.

Timber double doors lead seamlessly into the second reception room, allowing both spaces to flow together effortlessly whenever entertaining family and friends. Open the doors, and you instantly create one impressive entertaining space; close them, and each room enjoys its own distinct atmosphere.

The dining room is equally generous and incredibly versatile.

Currently arranged as a dining room, there is more than enough space for a substantial dining table together with additional seating if desired. A charming brick fireplace with a gas fire creates another attractive focal point, while a generous under-stairs storage cupboard provides valuable hidden storage, helping to keep everyday clutter neatly out of sight. Beautiful wooden flooring flows throughout both reception rooms, adding further warmth and character.

To the rear of the property lies the modern fitted kitchen.

Finished with contemporary high-gloss wall and base units complemented by matching work surfaces and splashbacks, the kitchen offers excellent storage together with generous preparation space for busy family life. An eye-level electric oven with separate grill, gas hob, stainless steel sink, plumbing for both washing machine and tumble dryer, LED ceiling spotlights and durable flooring all combine to create a practical workspace that caters perfectly for everyday cooking. A large rear-facing window fills the room with natural light while offering pleasant views across the rear yard.

Beyond the kitchen is a highly practical rear hallway which currently accommodates additional appliances, including a large fridge freezer. This useful area provides direct access to both the rear yard and the ground floor bathroom.

The bathroom has been modernised to offer a bright and contemporary feel, comprising a white three-piece suite with bath and shower over, WC and pedestal wash hand basin. Fully aqua-panelled walls, quality flooring and a useful built-in storage cupboard complete a room that is both practical and easy to maintain.

Ascending to the first floor, a spacious landing provides access to three bedrooms before a second staircase continues to the impressive attic conversion above.

The principal bedroom is an outstanding double room positioned at the front of the property. Two large windows flood the room with natural light, while bespoke fitted wardrobes together with matching bedside furniture provide exceptional storage without compromising on floor space.

Bedroom two is another excellent double room overlooking the rear of the property and offers ample room for a variety of furniture arrangements.

Bedroom three is a comfortable single bedroom that would work equally well as a child’s room, nursery, dressing room or home office for those working remotely.

Continue to the second floor, and you’ll discover one of the property’s most exciting spaces.

The converted attic bedroom is a superb addition to the home and offers fantastic flexibility. A large dormer window overlooking the rear, together with a Velux window to the front, allows natural light to pour into the room throughout the day, creating a wonderfully bright and airy atmosphere. Recently fitted with brand-new carpets, this versatile room would make a fantastic principal bedroom, teenager’s retreat, guest suite or dedicated home office.

Throughout the property, neutral décor creates a fresh, welcoming environment that allows buyers to move straight in while adding their own personality over time.
