Chalkhill Way, Carlisle, CA1 3TX

A fabulous corner position, beautifully landscaped gardens and a home that's ready to enjoy from the moment you collect the keys - Number 5 Chalkhill Way is a superb example of modern family living on the highly sought-after Speckled Wood development. 

Offering three bedrooms, two bathrooms, generous living accommodation, a detached garage and a wonderful south-west-facing garden, this immaculately presented home combines space, style and everyday practicality in equal measure. Better still, the property enjoys the remaining approximately one year of its NHBC warranty, providing additional peace of mind for its next owners.

Built by Persimmon Homes, Speckled Wood has established itself as one of the most popular modern developments on the southern fringe of Carlisle, and it's easy to understand why. Attractive streets, a varied collection of homes and generous areas of open space create a pleasant environment for families, professionals and first-time buyers alike, while Number 5 enjoys a particularly enviable position. 

Occupying a generous corner plot, the house is set amongst wraparound lawned gardens with an attractive curved boundary wall, giving it considerably more presence and outdoor space than many homes of its type.

Pulling onto Chalkhill Way, the kerb appeal immediately catches your attention. The wraparound lawn creates an attractive approach to the property, while the generous driveway provides convenient off-road parking and leads directly to the detached single garage. It's a smart, well-maintained exterior that sets the tone perfectly for what's waiting inside.

Step through the front door and you're greeted by a bright and welcoming entrance hall with plenty of room for coats, shoes and everyday essentials. From here, the ground floor accommodation flows beautifully, with the spacious dining kitchen positioned to one side and the living room to the other, creating two excellent yet distinctly different spaces for family life.

The dining kitchen is undoubtedly one of the highlights of this wonderful home and provides a genuine heart-of-the-house environment where everyone can gather together. An extensive range of fitted wall and base units provides excellent storage, complemented by generous work surfaces and a pleasant outlook across the surrounding lawned gardens. There's plenty of room for a substantial dining table and chairs, creating a fantastic sociable setting for everything from breakfast before the school run to relaxed evening meals and entertaining friends at the weekend. A substantial under-stairs cupboard provides valuable additional storage, helping to keep this beautifully presented space organised and clutter-free.

Located directly from the kitchen is the separate utility room, another extremely useful feature for busy family life. Providing dedicated space for laundry and household essentials, it allows the main kitchen to remain beautifully organised, while beyond the utility is a conveniently positioned ground floor cloakroom/WC, perfect for children, family and visiting guests.

Across the hallway, the living room provides a wonderfully relaxing contrast to the sociable kitchen. Beautifully presented in soft, neutral tones, there's ample room for comfortable seating and furniture arrangements, making this the perfect place to unwind at the end of the day. However, it's the large French doors that really transform this room. Opening directly onto the garden and composite decking, they flood the space with natural light and create an effortless connection between the house and garden. Throw them open on a warm summer afternoon and suddenly the living room becomes part of the outdoor entertaining space - perfect for barbecues, family gatherings or simply enjoying a glass of wine while the evening sun disappears beyond the garden.

Ascending to the first floor, you'll find three well-proportioned bedrooms together with the family bathroom, providing an excellent layout for couples and growing families.

The principal bedroom is particularly impressive and enjoys the significant advantage of dual-aspect windows, allowing natural light to enter from two directions and creating a beautifully bright and airy atmosphere. There's plenty of space for bedroom furniture, while the private en-suite shower room adds everyday convenience and a touch of personality. Finished in a striking combination of soft pink tones and polished black tiling, it's a wonderfully individual space that certainly stands apart from the predictable neutral bathrooms often found in modern developments.

Bedroom two is another generous double room with excellent space for furniture, making it ideal for children, teenagers or visiting guests. The third bedroom provides a versatile single room that could just as easily become a nursery, dressing room, hobby space or dedicated home office depending on your lifestyle.

Completing the first floor is the stylish family bathroom, beautifully finished with contemporary tiling, quality flooring and sleek chrome fittings. Modern, practical and beautifully presented, it's perfectly equipped for everyday family life while continuing the excellent standard of presentation found throughout the rest of the home.

It's outside, however, where Number 5 really distinguishes itself.

The generous corner position has allowed the current owners to create a fantastic landscaped rear garden that's designed around relaxing, entertaining and making the most of its desirable south-west-facing aspect. Fully enclosed by attractive walling, the garden feels wonderfully private while enjoying excellent levels of afternoon and evening sunshine - exactly what you want when the warmer months arrive.

A substantial composite decked terrace provides a superb outdoor entertaining area with plenty of room for garden furniture, alfresco dining and summer gatherings, while the neatly maintained lawn provides valuable additional space for children and pets. The current owners have even created the perfect spot for their hot tub, and it's easy to imagine finishing a summer evening here with the French doors open, friends gathered around and the garden becoming a genuine extension of the home.

The attractive wraparound lawn continues to the front and side, further emphasising the generous nature of the plot, while the driveway provides excellent off-road parking before leading to the detached garage. Whether required for secure vehicle parking, bicycles, motorcycles, gardening equipment or simply valuable additional storage, the garage is another practical feature that makes this home work so well for everyday life.

The location completes the package beautifully. Positioned on the southern fringe of Carlisle, Speckled Wood combines the convenience of city living with a more relaxed residential environment and excellent access to surrounding countryside. Local amenities, convenience stores and schools are all within easy reach, while regular transport links provide straightforward access into Carlisle city centre.

For commuters, Junction 42 of the M6 is only a short drive away, providing excellent connections north and south, while the recently opened Southern Bypass has significantly improved access across the southern and western sides of Carlisle. Despite these excellent connections, the development retains a pleasant, family-friendly atmosphere with green spaces and walking routes nearby, giving residents an excellent balance between accessibility and outdoor living.

Combining an enviable corner position, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fantastic dining kitchen, separate utility room, detached garage and a beautifully landscaped south-west-facing garden, Number 5 Chalkhill Way delivers everything you'd want from a modern family home. Immaculately presented and ready to move straight into, with approximately one year remaining on the NHBC warranty for additional peace of mind, this is a home where the position, presentation and outdoor space really do set it apart from the crowd.
