An impressive period property is on the market in a desirable area, offering three floors of spacious accommodation with original features complemented by contemporary design.

Highlights include a large family room with double doors to the landscaped back garden, a master bedroom suite almost filling the top floor and a sitting room that’s definitely got the wow factor.

The house, in Carlisle, has three reception rooms, six bedrooms and three bathrooms. It is being sold by Cumbrian Properties, whose managing director Adrian Hogarth said: “This is a beautifully-appointed family home in a sought-after residential area, close to reputable schools and shopping facilities.

“It is a marvellous blend of old-style charm and the modern touches that today’s families demand. One of its stand-out features is the fantastic master bedroom suite on the top floor which has fabulous views across the city to the fells beyond.”

Situated in Marlborough Gardens, Stanwix, the semi-detached property is accessed via electronic gates to a block-paved parking area which leads on to the garage.

An attractive covered porch gives an indication of the quality of the internal accommodation. A decorative glazed door leads to the entrance hallway where another door opens to the main hall with wooden flooring, dado rail and ceiling coving. A traditional spindled staircase with newel post rises to the first floor.

The lounge has views of the front garden with its lawn, flowerbeds and mature shrubs. This 20ft by 16ft room has an impressive bay window, decorative ceiling and a coal-effect gas fire with a modern marble fireplace.

It also has a picture rail, spotlights and coving, as do the dining room and family room.

Both the lounge and the family room have oak flooring and the family room also has alcove shelving and French doors to the back garden.

The 21ft kitchen has a range of quality units and integrated appliances, original storage cupboards, a central island with dining area and tiled flooring. There is a door to the utility room, where a further range of floor units is found, and a larder with original cold shelving.

Going upstairs, the four-piece family bathroom on a half-landing has contemporary fittings, a large window and tiled flooring. Complementing the bathroom is a four-piece shower room with his and her’s wash basins on the first floor.

The four large first-floor bedrooms have a mix of original sash windows, picture rails and coving, fireplaces and built-in wardrobes. The largest bedroom, at the front, has a balcony with views of the front garden.

A fifth bedroom with built-in storage cupboard is on the second floor with the striking master bedroom suite filling the remainder of the space at 29ft by almost 16ft.

It has a dressing area with fitted units and a window to the rear with fantastic views. There is a glazed sliding door to the en-suite bathroom, a separate toilet and a steam room with shower.

Adrian said: “Walking from room to room, this property is just an absolute delight. But it’s not just the inside that is so memorable, the gardens are also a real knockout, from the secure electronic gates offering safety and privacy, to the enclosed landscaped walled garden with its patio area and terrace. They offer an ideal space for entertainment, relaxation and family play.”

The house is being offered for sale with no forward chain at £570,000. For further information, contact Cumbrian Properties on (01228) 599940.
