The attention to detail is immediately apparent throughout the property, with quality finishes creating a luxurious feel from the moment you step inside.. 

The layout works particularly well, with the entrance hallway giving an instant impression of the space on offer. Bright, welcoming and spacious, the hallway is finished with glazed double doors on either side, creating a lovely flow between the two principal reception rooms.

The formal lounge sits to one side and is a genuinely impressive room, stretching the full depth of the property. A large front-facing window brings plenty of natural light into the room, while French doors at the opposite end open onto the garden. A contemporary gas fire provides a strong focal point and gives the room a cosy feel despite its generous proportions. It is equally suited to quieter evenings or entertaining when you want a separate space away from the main living area.

Opposite is the room that is likely to become the real hub of everyday life. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living space spans the full length of the house and has been designed exceptionally well for both family life and entertaining.

At its centre is the kitchen itself – and it is a real showstopper. The 'Cumbria Kitchens' solid oak cabinetry, is finished in a timeless navy Shaker style and gives the room an elegant yet welcoming feel, complemented by quality worktops and a substantial island. The central island is much more than a feature, incorporating a Belfast sink, instant hot water tap, discreetly integrated sockets and breakfast bar seating. It creates a natural place to gather, whether that is morning coffee, homework, drinks with friends or a more informal meal.

Beyond the kitchen, there is plenty of room for a substantial dining table and chairs as well as a generous sofa or relaxed seating area. This is a space that genuinely allows everyone to be together without the room ever feeling compromised.

French doors at the back, open directly onto the landscaped rear garden, bringing the outside into the heart of the home and making the room particularly effective in the warmer months. The kitchen also provides an integrated dishwasher, space for a freestanding American-style fridge freezer, which is included, together with a freestanding range-style cooker.

The double integral garage is another excellent addition. Rather than simply being used for the car, it currently houses the washing machine and tumble dryer, creating a very useful informal utility area and additional storage space. It adds a level of practicality that is particularly valuable in a home of this size.

A contemporary downstairs WC completes the ground floor, finished in keeping with the rest of the house with integrated sanitaryware, concealed plumbing and high-specification finishes.

Upstairs, the sense of space continues. There are four double bedrooms, which is increasingly difficult to find in a modern family home. Every bedroom offers proper usable space, so there is no need for the usual compromise of one small box room. The flexibility this provides is excellent, whether you need bedrooms for a growing family, guest accommodation, a home office or simply want rooms that can evolve with you.

The principal bedroom is particularly impressive. It is a huge room with ample space for a substantial bedroom suite and enjoys its own luxurious en-suite shower room. Finished to a high standard, the en-suite features a walk-in shower, full-height floor-to-ceiling tiling, LED mirror, chrome heated towel rail, recessed spot lighting and built-in vanity storage. It feels more like a boutique hotel bathroom than an ordinary en-suite.

The main family bathroom has been finished to the same standard, with the same attention to detail and contemporary specification. Full-height tiling, walk-in shower, LED mirror, heated towel rail, vanity and modern sanitaryware create a bathroom that feels both luxurious and practical.

Bedroom four is currently being used as a walk-in wardrobe, demonstrating just how much flexibility the accommodation offers. For those who need four bedrooms, it is ready to return to its original purpose; for those who value additional dressing or storage space, it already provides an enviable setup.

The landing also benefits from a useful storage cupboard housing the boiler, which is less than ten years old and has been serviced annually. With a drop down ladder to the boarded loft, maximising storage 

Outside, the gardens are every bit as considered as the accommodation. The property occupies a generous plot with landscaped gardens extending around the front, side and rear, while the rear garden has been beautifully designed to provide a private and highly usable outdoor space.

The garden is enclosed by attractive walls and centred around an oval-shaped area of astro turf, creating a smart, low-maintenance focal point. Large porcelain patio slabs form the main paved areas, with multiple seating spaces positioned around the garden, giving plenty of options for outdoor dining, relaxing or entertaining. It is a garden that has clearly been designed rather than simply left as an afterthought, and it works perfectly alongside the impressive open-plan living space.

The position of the house within the plot is a real part of its appeal. There is space around the property rather than simply gardens immediately behind it, which enhances the impressive appearance of the home and gives the whole plot a feeling of openness. With gardens extending to the front, side and rear, giving the house considerably more breathing space than many detached properties.

The generous driveway provides ample parking for up to four vehicles and leads to the double integral garage.

This is a substantial, beautifully finished detached home with the kind of accommodation that works exceptionally well for modern family life. The enormous open-plan kitchen and living space is undoubtedly the centrepiece, but it is the combination of that room, the separate full-length lounge, four genuine double bedrooms, two high-specification bathrooms, generous gardens and double integral garage that makes the property so compelling. 

Further features include plush carpets and characterful cast iron radiators, adding an extra layer of comfort and character.

The property also benefits from a security alarm system.

A house with presence, space, practical touches and an exceptional level of finish. 

Located within the popular Parkland area of Carlisle, Parkland Avenue offers a lovely balance of peaceful residential living and everyday convenience. Set within an established neighbourhood surrounded by green space, the property is particularly well placed for families, with excellent transport links providing easy access to the M6 and the new Carlisle Northern Development Route, making journeys further afield straightforward.
