Just A Ten Minute Walk From The City Centre Takes You Back To The Victorian Cobbles. After hitting the shops and bars you can come back to a more refined home life with high ceilings and tall sash windows in a stylish Grade II listed upper maisonette. Property ref: KD0516

The moment you turn onto the cobbles, something changes. And by the time you're through your first floor front door, all that's left is high ceilings, tall sash windows and a quiet life.

This upper maisonette in a Grade II listed townhouse makes the most of the Victorian proportions. The ceiling height alone changes how the whole space feels, and the tall sash window pulls in light from early morning through to evening, with a view straight down onto the cobbles below.

The kitchen is compact but modern and thoughtfully laid out, with black gloss tiling, dark worktops and space for a dishwasher and washing machine side by side, plus an integrated microwave and a freestanding cooker.

A separate WC just off the hall means you're not queuing for the bathroom on busy mornings, and the entrance hall itself still has the panelled doors and decorative staircase balustrade you'd hope for in a house of this age.

Up on the second floor, the landing leads to two bedrooms and a bathroom finished in a relaxing soft blush tone. The main bedroom easily takes a super kingsize bed with room to spare, while the second bedroom works well as a guest room, home office or nursery.

Being up in the eaves, both have that sloped Victorian roofline and a skylight that fills the space with natural light. The bathroom itself has a shower over the bath, wood-effect flooring and a heated towel rail.

There’s also useful eaves storage accessed from the bathroom and main bedroom for suitcases, the christmas tree or anything else you'd rather not have on show.

Carlisle city centre is only a ten minute walk away, so it’s handy for work and the shops, bars and restaurants are close enough for a spontaneous evening out but far enough that you're not living above them.

If you've been looking for somewhere convenient but prefer period scale and genuine character to a modern apartment, this maisonette definitely earns its place on the shortlist.

I’m expecting plenty of interest in this one, so get in touch to arrange a viewing.
