House For Sale £425,000
Perfectly located to the fringe of the city centre, a fully renovated, Grade II listed, Victorian townhouse offering stylish, contemporary and flexible family accommodation, with the advantage of private off road parking, spacious reception rooms, converted basement / gymnasium and 6 bedrooms. Previously advertised at a substantially higher price, via a different estate agent.
Found in truly outstanding order, having been painstakingly renovated by our clients, an excellent opportunity to acquire a fine example of a Victorian townhouse, built originally by the estate of that Duke Of Devonshire in appealing red brick, with feature double height sandstone bay windows with matching double columned doorway.
Formally a fine family residence, the property is of great local interest, having been purchased by the Cumberland Federation of the Women's Institute in 1946 and previously known as Woman Institute House and used as the county headquarters for many years. This has allowed the period details to be retained, including exceptional, intricate cornicing, coving and ceiling roses along with a Corbel style archway and the original staircase with turned woodwork and Newall post.
Sensitively restored by skilled local professionals the ground floor accommodation comprises a generous reception room to the front, with bay window overlooking St Pauls Church, and a connecting door to the dining room / study. To the rear a well-proportioned kitchen dining room leads to the utility room with a downstairs "wet" shower room with WC.
The basement has been fully insulated, tanked and replastered making it ideal for a gymnasium, family or cinema room, the adjacent store room having great potential as an excellent wine cellar.
From the hallway, the return staircase which leads to the main bedrooms on the first floor has a mid-point landing which serves the third bedroom and family bathroom. The second staircase from the first floor landing provides access to the three attic bedrooms and second bathroom and would make an ideal self-contained space for a dependant relative or teenager.
Externally, to the front, is a forecourt garden, with architecturally correct Westminster pike staff railings, with sandstone pillars, whilst to the rear is an enclosed sandstone paved courtyard with private seating and an enlarged, 9ft wide, double gated parking area for up to three vehicles, with outside double electric socket, suitable for conversion to an ev charging point. Occupiers of the property are also entitled to access to Chatsworth Square Gardens.
Positioned in the Carlisle City centre conservation area, within easy walking distance of the historic city landmarks, shops, cafes, schools and amenities the property is less than 500 metres from the main line railway station and soon to be opened medical campus of the University Of Cumbria. Off road walking cycleway to excellent parks health and theatre complex at the Sands Centre.
With excellent potential as a live / work residence, the property benefits from a hard wired fire alarm system and would lend itself to a wide range of commercial interests, subject to the necessary planning permission.<br /><br /><b>Directions</b><br />From our office on head down Lowther St, turning right onto Lonsdale Street. Number 33 is on the left hand side after 150 metres.<br /><br /><b>Outside</b><br />L shaped walled, secured courtyard garden with parking for up to three cars.<br /><br /><b>Services</b><br />Mains gas, electric, water and drains are connected, but neither these nor any boilers or radiators have been tested.<br /><br />
