5 bed detached house for sale

Garsdale Drive, Carlisle CA3

Imagine waking up every morning, opening your curtains and looking out across beautiful open green fields, with the countryside quite literally on your doorstep. Well, that's exactly what you can enjoy at Number 38 Garsdale Drive! This fabulous five-bedroom detached family home occupies one of the finest positions on Persimmon Homes' popular Tarraby View development, tucked away at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac with wonderful open views to both the front and side.

Constructed in 2022 and beautifully maintained by its current owners since new, this is one of the larger styles of property on the development and offers a fantastic combination of generous family accommodation, modern living and a location that really does set it apart from the rest.

Tarraby View has become a popular choice for families looking for a modern home on the northern edge of Carlisle, where the convenience of city living meets the open countryside. But even within this attractive development, Number 38 enjoys a particularly special setting.

Rather than looking directly towards another row of houses, the front of the property enjoys a fabulous outlook across open green space, while the position towards the end of the cul-de-sac creates a lovely sense of peace and privacy. It's the sort of location that really needs to be experienced in person to appreciate just how appealing it is.

And the house itself certainly doesn't disappoint either! With five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a spacious living room, an impressive open-plan dining kitchen, separate utility room, ground-floor WC, integral garage, generous driveway parking and a fantastic rear garden, there's an enormous amount of space here for a growing family.

Stepping through the front door, you're greeted by a spacious and welcoming entrance hallway, and immediately you get a sense of just how well designed this house is for family life. There's plenty of room to greet guests, take off coats and shoes and move comfortably between the main living areas, while the staircase rises to the first floor.

The living room is a brilliant size and provides a lovely, comfortable space for the whole family to relax together. A large window to the front allows plenty of natural light to flood inside, but what really makes this room special is the outlook. Sit back on your sofa and enjoy those wonderful open green views, rather than looking straight across towards neighbouring properties. It's such a lovely feature and one that really adds to the overall feeling of space around the house. An electric fire set within a decorative surround creates an attractive focal point and provides a little additional warmth during the colder months, making this the perfect place to settle down for a cosy evening in front of the television.

Continue along the hallway, and you'll arrive at what is undoubtedly the heart of this fantastic family home - the impressive open-plan dining kitchen.

And what a great space this is!

Designed with modern family life in mind, the kitchen offers an excellent combination of cooking, dining and entertaining space, allowing everyone to spend time together without feeling on top of one another. Whether you're preparing the evening meal, helping the children with homework or catching up with friends over a coffee, this is exactly the sort of room that makes family life that little bit easier.

The kitchen itself is fitted with a stylish range of contemporary matt grey wall and base units, complemented by attractive work surfaces and crisp white tiled splashbacks. There's plenty of storage and preparation space, along with a fantastic range of appliances including an electric double oven, four-ring halogen hob and integrated dishwasher. A stainless steel sink completes the practical arrangement, while there's also a dedicated space for an American-style fridge/freezer, ideal for keeping everything organised in a busy household.

The dining area is equally impressive, offering plenty of room for a substantial family dining table where everyone can sit down together. And one of our favourite features has to be the large French doors opening directly onto the rear garden. During the warmer months, just imagine throwing these doors open, letting the fresh air flow through and enjoying that lovely connection between the kitchen and the garden. It's perfect for summer barbecues, family celebrations or simply sitting down for an evening meal while the children play outside.

Just off the kitchen is another feature that's always high on the wish list for a busy family - a separate utility room. Fitted with additional wall and base units and complementary work surfaces, this useful space provides room for essential appliances such as a washing machine and tumble dryer, helping keep laundry and everyday household jobs away from the main kitchen.

There's also a door providing direct access to the rear garden, which is incredibly handy when coming in from outside, while the adjoining ground-floor WC is another practical addition that makes a real difference when you've got a house full of family and friends.

Heading upstairs, the spacious first-floor landing provides access to all five bedrooms and the family bathroom, and here's another reason why Number 38 is such a fantastic choice for growing families - there's room for everyone to have their own space.

The principal bedroom is positioned towards the front of the house and is a wonderfully spacious double room, with plenty of room for a large bed and additional bedroom furniture. But once again, it's the view that really steals the show. Imagine waking up each morning and looking straight out across the open green space in front of the property. It's a lovely outlook and creates a wonderful feeling of openness that you don't always find in modern housing developments.

And to make this room even more appealing, there's the added luxury of your very own en-suite shower room. Fitted with a contemporary white three-piece suite comprising a generous walk-in shower enclosure, WC and wash hand basin, the en-suite also benefits from partially tiled walls and chrome fittings. Having your own shower room is such a fantastic convenience, particularly on those busy weekday mornings when everybody is trying to get ready at the same time.

Bedroom two is another excellent double room, also positioned towards the front of the property, and enjoys those same wonderful open views across the green space. A useful built-in storage cupboard provides additional room for clothing and belongings, while the generous proportions allow plenty of flexibility when arranging furniture. This would make a brilliant bedroom for an older child or teenager, or perhaps a lovely guest room for visiting family and friends.

Bedrooms three and four are both comfortable double rooms positioned towards the rear of the house, offering plenty of space for beds, wardrobes and additional furniture. With four genuine double bedrooms in total, there's certainly no shortage of accommodation here, making this a fantastic home for larger families or anyone who regularly has guests staying over.

Bedroom five is a comfortable single room and is currently being used by the owners as a home office, which demonstrates just how versatile this property can be. Whether you work from home, need a dedicated study area for the children or would prefer to use the room as a nursery, hobby room or additional bedroom, having this extra space is a real advantage. And importantly, you don't have to sacrifice one of the four double bedrooms to create it.

Completing the first-floor accommodation is the modern family bathroom, which has been further improved by the current owners with the addition of an electric shower over the bath. The contemporary white three-piece suite comprises a panelled bath, WC and wash hand basin, complemented by partially tiled walls and chrome fittings. Together with the principal bedroom's en-suite and the ground-floor WC, the property offers excellent bathroom facilities for a busy household.

And as impressive as the accommodation is inside, it's when you step outside that Number 38 really comes into its own.

The position of this house is, in our opinion, one of its biggest selling points. Occupying a fabulous plot towards the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, with open green fields to the front and side, it enjoys a setting that really is quite special.

The generous block-paved driveway provides off-road parking for several vehicles, while an attractive lawned frontage adds a lovely touch of greenery and creates a smart first impression.

There's also an integral garage, providing valuable additional storage for bikes, tools, gardening equipment and all those everyday items that families seem to accumulate. Whether you need somewhere to keep outdoor equipment or simply want extra storage space, it's another excellent practical feature.

To the rear, the garden is a fantastic size and offers a wonderful amount of space for the whole family to enjoy. Predominantly laid to lawn, there's plenty of room for children to play, pets to enjoy the outdoors or perhaps even to introduce your own landscaping ideas in the future.

A generous flagged patio provides an excellent spot for outdoor furniture and summer dining, while a separate timber decking area creates another lovely place to sit back and relax. Imagine enjoying a barbecue with friends on a sunny afternoon, sitting outside with a glass of wine on a warm evening or simply watching the children enjoy the garden while you relax with a morning coffee.

The rear garden also enjoys a good degree of privacy and offers something of a blank canvas for its next owners. Whether you prefer to keep things simple and low maintenance or have plans to create your own outdoor entertaining area, there's plenty of potential to make this space your own.

And then there's the location, which is another fantastic reason to consider Number 38 Garsdale Drive.
