Durdar Road, Carlisle CA2

Positioned on the ever-popular Durdar Road to the highly sought-after southern fringe of Carlisle, this charming and extended two double bedroom detached bungalow presents a rare opportunity to acquire a much-loved home in a prime residential setting. Occupied and meticulously maintained by the same owner for many years, the property now offers an exciting new chapter for its next owner - quote LI0465

Set on a generous plot with open fields to the rear, this delightful bungalow combines privacy, practicality and future potential in equal measure.

The spacious internal layout, coupled with a substantial loft space and mature gardens, makes this a property that will appeal to a wide range of buyers — from downsizers seeking single-level living to purchasers looking to further enhance and extend (subject to the relevant planning permissions).

Importantly, the property benefits from a roof replacement carried out only recently, offering valuable peace of mind to prospective purchasers and reflecting the careful maintenance this home has consistently received.

Upon entering, a welcoming entrance hall provides access to the principal rooms and immediately sets a warm and homely tone.

The front-facing living room is bathed in natural light from a large picture window overlooking the garden frontage. An electric fire creates an attractive focal point and provides supplementary warmth during the colder months, making this a comfortable and relaxing space throughout the year.

To the rear sits a versatile second reception room/dining room. This flexible space could equally serve as a second sitting room, home office or hobby room, depending on individual requirements. Its positioning allows for an excellent flow through the property, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.

The kitchen is well-appointed with a range of wall and base units, complementary work surfaces and tiled splashbacks. Features include an eye-level oven, electric hob and ample space for freestanding appliances. There is also sufficient room for a breakfast table, creating a sociable kitchen-dining environment. A large rear window provides delightful views over the lush garden.

Leading off the kitchen is a practical utility room — invaluable for additional storage, laundry facilities and day-to-day organisation — with direct access to the rear garden.

Both bedrooms are generous double rooms, each offering excellent proportions, plentiful natural light and flexibility for a variety of furniture layouts.

The accommodation is completed by a modern wet room, thoughtfully designed with anti-slip flooring, a mixer shower and a fixed glass screen. The suite includes a wash hand basin set within a vanity unit and a WC with concealed cistern. Fully aqua-panelled walls, a PVC ceiling with inset spotlights and chrome fittings create a clean, contemporary and low-maintenance space.

A pull-down ladder in the entrance hall provides access to a substantial, fully boarded loft space enhanced by a dormer window allowing natural daylight to flood in. This versatile area offers superb additional space for hobbies, crafts or storage and presents further scope for development, subject to the appropriate consents.

Externally, the property stands within attractive, well-tended lawned gardens to both front and rear.

The front garden enhances the bungalow’s kerb appeal, setting it back attractively from the road.

The rear garden is particularly impressive — private, established and backing onto open fields beyond. A paved patio area provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining and summer entertaining. Beyond the garden lies a private lane offering convenient rear access.

The location of this bungalow is superb.

Durdar Road is ideally positioned on the southern outskirts of Carlisle, offering a superb balance between peaceful surroundings and everyday convenience.

The property is within easy reach of local amenities, reputable primary and secondary schools, and regular bus routes operating directly from the doorstep.

For outdoor enthusiasts, Hammonds Pond is just a short walk away, providing open green space ideal for families, dog walkers and leisurely strolls.

Transport connections are exceptional. Carlisle Racecourse lies less than two minutes drive to the south, while Junctions 42 and 43 of the M6 motorway are both easily accessible, ensuring straightforward commuting north and south.

Furthermore, this location offers convenient access to the northern fells of the Lake District, allowing residents to enjoy some of the UK’s most breathtaking countryside with minimal traffic and ease of travel.
