Cumwhinton Road, Carlisle, CA1 3LA

Wow, wow, wow… Where do we even start with this incredible transformation?! If you're searching for a home where every last detail has been thought about, where the finish is exceptional and where you can simply turn the key, walk through the front door and start enjoying your new home from day one, then Number 5 Cumwhinton Road is going to be right up your street! 

This fantastic extended two-bedroom home has undergone a remarkable renovation from top to bottom, completely redesigning and re-energising the accommodation to create something rather special. 

With a stunning open-plan living/dining/kitchen, a gorgeous living room approaching 23 feet in length, two excellent double bedrooms, a luxurious four-piece bathroom and a beautifully finished, low-maintenance garden, there is so much here to fall in love with. And just when you thought it couldn't get any better, the property is being sold with the fantastic advantage of no onward chain!

What makes Number 5 particularly impressive is the quality of the renovation and the attention to detail throughout. This isn't simply a property where somebody has given the walls a fresh coat of paint and fitted a new kitchen. The house has been thoughtfully redesigned to create a wonderful balance between traditional character and contemporary living, with high-quality fixtures and fittings, beautiful flooring, solid oak internal doors, feature lighting and carefully chosen finishes all working together to create a home that feels stylish, welcoming and incredibly comfortable. The property has also benefited from a recently fitted roof, providing another significant improvement to this beautifully transformed home.

And the first impression? Absolutely fantastic!

From the outside, the property has a smart, attractive appearance, with a newly laid resin driveway creating a lovely introduction and providing valuable off-road parking. It's clear before you even step inside that a huge amount of care has gone into the transformation, but just wait until you see what's waiting behind the front door.

The entrance hallway is a brilliant place to begin, and what a wonderful introduction to the accommodation it provides. Spacious, beautifully finished and full of character, this is somewhere you can comfortably welcome family and friends without everyone having to squeeze past one another. A bespoke oak staircase rises to the first floor, creating an immediate focal point, while luxury LVT flooring, a stylish anthracite radiator and recessed LED ceiling spotlights all contribute to the contemporary finish. 

There's also a generous understairs storage cupboard, providing plenty of room for coats, shoes and those everyday household essentials that you want tucked neatly out of sight. From the hallway, solid oak internal doors provide access to the living room, kitchen and ground-floor WC, giving you a real sense of the quality that continues throughout the house.

The ground-floor WC is another incredibly useful addition and has been finished to the same excellent standard as the rest of the property. Fitted with a WC and wash hand basin complemented by a decorative tiled splashback, it's a stylish and practical space that makes a real difference to everyday living, particularly when you've got family or friends visiting.

Now, let's head into the living room, because this is a fantastic space!

Stretching to almost 23 feet in length, this is a wonderfully generous room with plenty of space for different furniture arrangements. Whether you enjoy a large family sofa, a couple of comfortable armchairs or perhaps a cosy reading corner, there's certainly no shortage of possibilities here. A beautiful bay window overlooks the front elevation and allows natural light to pour into the room, while the engineered oak flooring brings warmth, character and a real sense of quality to the space.

But it's the fireplace that really catches your attention. With an exposed brick back and surround, carefully incorporated lighting and an impressive gas fire, it creates a gorgeous focal point and provides that lovely cosy atmosphere we all appreciate during the colder months. Just imagine coming home on a winter's evening, putting the fire on and settling down with a film - this is exactly the kind of living room you'll look forward to spending time in.

And then, through a beautiful set of glazed oak French doors, we arrive at the heart of this incredible home.

Just wow… what a space this is!

The extended open-plan living/dining/kitchen is an absolute triumph and, in our opinion, one of the biggest reasons why Number 5 is so special. Designed around modern everyday living, this fantastic room combines a beautifully fitted contemporary kitchen with a generous dining and seating area, creating a space where you can cook, entertain, relax and spend time together without everyone being separated into different rooms.

The kitchen itself has been finished to an exceptional standard, with a striking high-gloss design complemented by quality work surfaces and decorative tiled splashbacks. There's an excellent range of fitted units providing plenty of storage, while a breakfast bar creates the perfect spot for a quick morning coffee, casual breakfast or somewhere for friends to sit and chat while you're preparing dinner.

And the appliances have certainly not been forgotten! The kitchen benefits from an integrated eye-level oven, integrated fridge and freezer, integrated dishwasher and induction hob with a stylish designer extractor hood above. Everything has been carefully incorporated into the design to create a sleek, uncluttered finish, while subtle LED plinth lighting introduces a lovely ambient glow during the evenings. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or simply enjoying a quiet night at home, the lighting helps create exactly the right atmosphere.

Move across to the dining and living area, and the sense of space is equally impressive. There's plenty of room for a generous family dining table, and depending on how you'd prefer to arrange the accommodation, you could even introduce a sofa or a couple of comfortable chairs to create a relaxed seating area overlooking the garden. It's this versatility that makes the room so appealing - you can set it up around your own lifestyle rather than having to compromise on how you'd like to use the space.

A large set of French doors opens directly onto the rear patio, creating a wonderful connection between the house and garden. Just imagine throwing these open on a warm summer's afternoon, allowing the fresh air to flow through the room while you're preparing food and friends are relaxing outside. It really is a fantastic space for entertaining and one that will work just as brilliantly for everyday family life.

And then there's the natural light!

The extended dining kitchen benefits from a beautiful sloping ceiling with an abundance of recessed spotlights and three large Velux roof windows, allowing daylight to flood into the room from above. Combined with the French doors overlooking the garden, they create a wonderfully bright and airy environment that feels fantastic at any time of day. Underfoot, luxurious herringbone-style LVT flooring runs throughout the open-plan space, providing a beautiful finish while remaining practical and easy to maintain.

Tucked away from the main kitchen is a separate utility room, and this is another example of how carefully the accommodation has been designed. Fitted with units and work surfaces to match the kitchen, it provides valuable additional storage and space for laundry appliances, helping keep the main living area tidy and clutter-free. There's even a light tunnel bringing natural daylight into the room, a clever addition that makes this practical space feel so much brighter and more pleasant to use.

And just when you think you've seen all the lovely details, it's time to head upstairs!

The bespoke oak staircase is a real feature in its own right, with carefully incorporated LED lighting adding another stylish touch as you make your way to the first floor. It's the kind of detail that could easily have been overlooked, but here it has been thoughtfully included as part of the overall design.

Once you reach the landing, you'll discover another wonderful surprise. Rather than a narrow space simply connecting the bedrooms, the first-floor landing is incredibly generous and benefits from a large window allowing plenty of natural light inside. There's real versatility here, with enough room to consider creating a home office, study area or perhaps a comfortable little reading corner. If you're somebody who works from home but doesn't want to sacrifice one of the bedrooms, this could be a particularly useful feature.

From the landing, there is access to both double bedrooms and the stunning family bathroom.

Both bedrooms are excellent double rooms with generous proportions, allowing plenty of flexibility for bedroom furniture arrangements. Large windows ensure each room feels bright and welcoming, while the quality of the renovation continues throughout, creating two lovely spaces to retreat to at the end of the day. Whether you're looking for a main bedroom and guest room, accommodation for a young family or perhaps a dedicated bedroom alongside a separate dressing room, there's plenty of scope to arrange the rooms around your needs.

And then we come to the bathroom… because this is another room that deserves a moment of appreciation!

The luxurious four-piece family bathroom has been beautifully designed and finished to an exceptional standard, creating a space that feels far more like a boutique hotel than an everyday family bathroom. A gorgeous freestanding bath takes centre stage, providing the perfect spot for a long, relaxing soak after a busy day, while a generous walk-in shower offers a fantastic alternative when you're getting ready in the morning.

The suite is completed by a WC and wash hand basin set within a stylish vanity unit, providing valuable storage while maintaining the room's contemporary appearance. High-quality tiling, decorative aqua panelling, polished floor tiles and a carefully chosen combination of chrome and black accessories all work together beautifully. It's stylish, practical and luxurious in equal measure, and another wonderful example of the attention to detail that makes this renovation stand out.

Now, let's head outside, because the same care and attention has been given to the exterior.

To the front, a newly laid resin driveway provides valuable off-road parking and creates a smart, low-maintenance approach to the property. It's a lovely finishing touch that complements the appearance of the house and means there's no front lawn to worry about maintaining.

The rear garden is equally impressive and has been designed to be enjoyed rather than constantly worked on. A generous patio sits immediately outside the French doors from the extended dining kitchen, creating the perfect spot for a table and chairs, summer barbecues or relaxing with a drink at the end of the day.

Artificial turf provides a lovely splash of greenery all year round without the need for regular mowing, making the garden particularly appealing to anyone who wants an attractive outdoor space without spending every weekend maintaining it.

And there's another useful feature at the far end of the garden - a substantial concrete hardstanding area providing a brilliant starting point for whatever you might have in mind. Perhaps you've always wanted a large garden shed for additional storage, a summerhouse for relaxing or somewhere to create your own outdoor hobby space? Subject to any necessary consents, there's plenty of opportunity to make this area work for you.

With the patio, artificial lawn and additional hardstanding, the garden offers a fantastic combination of space, practicality and low-maintenance living, perfectly complementing the beautifully renovated accommodation inside.

And then there's the location, which is another excellent reason to consider Number 5 Cumwhinton Road.

Situated within the established Harraby area to the south of Carlisle, the property occupies an incredibly convenient position for everyday living. In fact, the Morrisons Daily convenience store is just a few steps away, which is brilliant when you've run out of milk, need something for tea or simply fancy popping out for a coffee and a few essentials. The store also offers a Post Office and other useful services, making it a particularly handy amenity to have so close to home.

There are further shopping facilities within the surrounding area, including Aldi on Petteril Bank Road, together with other convenience stores and local businesses. Carlisle city centre is also within easy reach, providing a much wider selection of shops, restaurants, cafés, leisure facilities and entertainment whenever you need them.

For families with children, there are several schooling options in the wider Harraby area, including Inglewood Infant and Junior Schools, Petteril Bank School and Pennine Way Primary School, while St John Henry Newman Catholic School is another local option for secondary education. It's a useful location for families who want access to schooling and everyday amenities without having to travel right across the city.

And if you regularly travel for work or enjoy getting away at weekends, the road connections are another fantastic advantage. Cumwhinton Road provides convenient access towards Junction 42 of the M6, making journeys north and south particularly straightforward, while the recently opened Carlisle Southern Link Road has introduced an important new connection across the southern side of the city.

If you're searching for a beautifully renovated property where you can simply move in, unpack and start enjoying your new home, Number 5 Cumwhinton Road really does deserve a place at the very top of your viewing list.

A remarkable transformation, a fantastic extended home and an opportunity not to be missed!
