5 Bed Detached House For Sale Curthwaite Road, Carlisle, CA5

The Best Family Home In The Village? Quite possibly. Especially if you have someone living with you who’d appreciate a ground floor ensuite bedroom, overlooking beautifully landscaped gardens. Property ref: KD0516

This impressive family home occupies a prominent elevated position, with a sweeping driveway and wraparound gardens. It will make a lasting first impression that only gets better as you discover more about this superb property.

Perhaps you have a large, multigenerational family. Or there’s may only be a few of you - but you just like plenty of space. Either way, you’ll appreciate the versatile layout of this sprawling detached family home.

The stylish and sociable kitchen will be the heart of this family home. The bespoke “Thwaites” kitchen has a range of stylish fitted units, an island unit that will be perfect for grabbing a quick bite and a NEFF “slide & hide” oven for anyone with Bake Off aspirations!

The dining room is next to the kitchen, with large windows that look out to the beautiful back garden.

If everyone loves getting together in the kitchen, there’s plenty of options when you want to find some peace and quiet to relax. There’s a spacious living room and a separate garden room which gives lovely views of the wraparound gardens.

This is a practical property too - there’s a handy utility room next to the kitchen and beyond that a workshop, built in garage and a store room.

If you’ve got an older relative living with you, or perhaps someone who struggles with stairs, the ground floor double bedroom will be much appreciated. It has views of the lovely gardens, its own private terrace and a “hidden” ensuite bathroom, so it will make anyone using this room feel truly special.

The first floor has three double bedrooms and a large single bedroom, along with a gorgeous four piece family bathroom that has a double shower and a luxurious roll top bath. 

The property sits on an elevated position, overlooking Curthwaite Road and with its own sweeping drive with space for a fleet of cars.

Beautifully landscaped gardens wrap around the property with something for everyone - there’s loads of space where the kids can play along with plenty to keep the green-fingered occupied, including a vegetable patch and greenhouse.

Thursby is a quiet, family friendly village with a “Good” local school. 

No wonder it’s so popular with families who may need convenient access to Carlisle but prefer not to live in the city.

It’s just off the A595, meaning it only takes around 20 minutes to drive to the city centre. That makes it a manageable daily commute. 

Or if you wanted to avoid the city centre traffic and parking stress you could drive (or ride) to Dalston, park up and and get the train in.

That also means that if you like to get out walking or to clock up the miles on your bike then getting out into the National Park will be so much easier… 

Bassenthwaite is the closest lake, with the north shore being less than 30 minutes drive away or around an hour and a half on the bike.

The quiet village has a local primary school (rated “Good” by Ofsted) and a village hall but you’d need to head to nearby Wigton or Dalston for your day-to-day shopping, takeaways and pubs.

Whether you have a large, multigenerational family or just like a feeling of space, this impressive five bedroom detached is truly unique.

Opportunities like this don’t come onto the market very often, so I’m expecting plenty of interest from discerning families.
