Frontage
This circa 1850s Georgian style townhouse announces itself with decorative Flemish bond brickwork, a charming arched front porch, and stone steps rising to meet the front door. Step inside and a beautiful vista opens up - a clear sightline through the house to the rear garden, offering an immediate sense of space, light and a natural connection to the outdoors.
Hallway
The entrance hall is rich with detail: a graceful, curved architrave, a classic dado rail, and a striking staircase with runner carpet and an elegant turned banister.
Ground Floor Reception Rooms
To the left, a cosy front facing reception room centres on an AGA multi-fuel stove, flanked by built-in cupboards.
Along the hall, the rear facing and principal reception room is flooded with light from generous sash windows fitted with original wooden shutters, framing lovely views over the garden and stone balcony which surrounds the courtyard below. A grand marble fireplace with a working open fire anchors the room, while an ornate ceiling rose and detailed architraves speak to the craftsmanship of the original interior.
First Floor
The tactile curve of the banister guides you upstairs. To the right, the principal bedroom impresses with a decorative fireplace beneath an elegant mantelpiece with built-in mirror, neatly flanked by fitted cupboards. Two sash windows look out over the street below.
The bathroom is calm and spacious, with a shower over bath, WC, and basin.
The second bedroom accommodates a double bed and features a period fireplace and enjoys a great view across the garden to the neighbourhood rooftops and Church tower beyond, with distant North Pennine hills as a backdrop.
Lower Ground Floor
Descend the stairs to a charming lower ground floor level.
To the right a cosy third double bedroom and beside it a practical bathroom with shower over bath, WC, and basin. This room would be equally well suited to use as a dining room or office due to the impressive stone fireplace and multi-fuel stove.
To the left, the kitchen enjoys a robust Shap granite worktop, integrated oven, hob and dishwasher with a freestanding fridge. The kitchen window frames a lovely view of the courtyard, which is great for alfresco dining in the warmer months.
Garden & Outdoor Space
Step out from the lower ground hallway into a sheltered courtyard - a natural extension of the home that truly comes into its own on summer evenings. The courtyard benefits from two small outbuildings which house the coal store. Sandstone steps climb to a lawn bordered by mature beds planted with fruit trees, roses, and abundant perennials. The landscaping has been thoughtfully designed, with an upper terrace and a sheltered bench perfectly positioned to catch dappled light from the afternoon sun. Beyond the garden gate, a friendly community spirit thrives along the shared back lane.
The Locality
Nestled in the sought-after area of Edentown, Stanwix, this property offers an enviable lifestyle that perfectly balances suburban tranquillity with city-centre convenience. This prime residential pocket is just a pleasant stroll or cycle across the bridge into the heart of Carlisle. At one end of the street is the beginning of a lovely path which follows the River Eden, which is great for nature lovers and dog walkers alike.
The area is served by frequent local bus routes and nearby medical practice and pharmacy. Grocery shopping is easy with a large supermarket within half a mile. For those traveling further afield, the property boasts strong transport links, with the M6 motorway and the A689 bypass easily accessible, connecting you to the Lake District, Scotland, and beyond with ease.
Further Information
The hot water and central heating system comprises a conventional gas boiler discretely installed in the front reception room cupboard (replaced in 2025) and hot water tank in the airing cupboard at the top of the staircase.
The partially boarded loft space offers additional storage and can be accessed by a hatch and drop-down ladder above the upper landing and could feasibly be developed into an additional bedroom subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission and consents.
The property is offered for sale with the benefit of no onward chain and is ready to move into on completion.
