Think This Is Just Another Bay Fronted Semi? Wait Until You See Inside. The craftsman built kitchen alone will make you look twice, and with Morton Park round the corner and two good schools under ten minutes walk away, the location matches the impressive interior. Property ref: KD0516

You know what they say about cobblers' shoes and builders' houses? Thankfully, this fantastic joiner's home is the exception that proves the rule.

Every room shows you that the person who lives here actually knows what they're doing. The kitchen especially - but look at the woodwork throughout, the garden build, the details that most people outsource and hope for the best.

The sage green shaker kitchen has been fitted to a standard most can't touch - with a stylish black sink, timber worktop, integrated dishwasher, proper cabinetry running the full length of the room.

It opens into a dining area with French doors to the garden, an exposed ceiling beam and dark hardwood flooring running through the whole ground floor. The two spaces work as one, and it's the kind of layout that makes you start rearranging furniture in your head before you've finished the viewing.

The separate living room sits at the front, the bay window bringing in plenty of light and plantation shutters giving it a clean, finished feel. There's a built-in storage unit to one side and an alcove above it - small details, done well.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms. The main bedroom is a calm, comfortable double with fitted wardrobes. The second is a proper double too. The third is a single, fitted out with panel boarding and a neat finish that would make a calm home office. The bathroom has been fully redone to a spa-like standard - with wall-to-wall tiling, a bath with a rainfall shower head over it, a wall-hung vanity unit and a contemporary WC.

But the garden is where the joiner's eye for a project really comes through.

A wide timber deck runs straight off the French doors with seating and a barbecue setup already in place. Beyond that, a large lawn stretches back further than you'd expect for a semi of this type (around 15m). There's a substantial timber outbuilding to one side, and at the back, room for a swing set, trampoline and a five-a-side goal all at once without it feeling cramped. For families with young children, this garden is a serious selling point.

There's also a large garage and a block-paved driveway at the front with space for more than one car.

Morton Park is just round the corner - the parkrun starts there at 9am every Saturday morning if you want to kick the weekend off the right way. Newlaithes Infants and Junior Schools are both rated “Good” by Ofsted and sit on the same site, less than ten minutes' walk away.

Richard Rose Morton Academy is around a twenty minute walk or a short bike ride for older children. Town is five minutes in the car, or a thirty minute walk if you're still feeling fit.

A home that looks like a standard semi from the outside and lives like something considerably more considered once you're inside - on one of Carlisle's most popular family-friendly streets, with a park on the doorstep to match.

Get in touch to arrange a viewing - I’m expecting plenty of interest.
