3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Speckled Wood Drive, Carlisle CA1

If you're searching for a modern family home where all the hard work has already been done, then Number 35 Speckled Wood Drive could be exactly what you've been looking for! This beautifully presented three-bedroom semi-detached home occupies a lovely position on a popular modern development to the south of Carlisle and offers a fantastic combination of stylish accommodation, generous parking, an integral garage and a beautifully maintained rear garden.

With contemporary interiors, a spacious dining kitchen, a principal bedroom with its own en-suite and approximately four years of its original NHBC warranty remaining, there's an awful lot to like about this wonderful home.

And one of the things that really stands out about Number 35 is just how well the accommodation works for everyday life. Whether you're a first-time buyer looking for something special, a young family needing a little more room or perhaps a professional couple who would appreciate having a dedicated home office, this property offers plenty of flexibility without compromising on comfort or style.

With tasteful neutral decoration throughout, it’s the sort of property where you can simply move in, arrange your furniture and start enjoying your new home without having to think about redecorating or carrying out major improvements.

Stepping through the front door, you're greeted by a welcoming entrance area with useful space for coats and shoes, helping keep the main living accommodation neat and organised. It's a practical feature, particularly when you've got children coming home from school or guests arriving on a rainy afternoon.

From here, you'll enter the spacious living room, which is a lovely place to relax and unwind. The room offers excellent proportions, with plenty of flexibility when arranging sofas and additional furniture, whether you prefer a cosy family seating area or a more contemporary layout. It's a comfortable space for enjoying a quiet evening in front of the television, catching up with friends or simply spending time together as a family.

Continue through the living room, and you'll arrive at the inner hallway, which has a rather attractive curved staircase rising to the first floor. This is a nice architectural feature that adds a little character to the layout, while the hallway also provides access to a conveniently positioned ground-floor WC beneath the stairs.

And here's another feature we particularly like - there's an internal door leading directly into the integral garage. It's such a useful addition, especially when you're arriving home with shopping or need to access stored items without going outside. Having that direct connection between the house and garage is a practical benefit that can make everyday life a little bit easier.

Towards the rear of the property is the spacious dining kitchen, which is undoubtedly one of the main attractions of this home.

This is a room that's been designed with modern family living in mind, offering plenty of space for preparing meals, sitting down together and entertaining friends. The kitchen is fitted with a contemporary range of units providing generous storage and worktop space, with room for the essential appliances needed in a busy household. Everything is neatly arranged to create a practical cooking environment, while the neutral finishes make the room feel fresh and inviting.

The dining area offers plenty of room for a family table and chairs, making it a lovely place for everything from a quick breakfast before work or school to a relaxed Sunday lunch. And during the warmer months, the patio doors opening directly onto the rear garden are a particularly appealing feature.

Just imagine having the doors open on a sunny afternoon, allowing the fresh air to flow through while the children play outside or you're preparing something for the barbecue. It's this easy connection between the dining kitchen and garden that makes the ground floor so well suited to modern family life.

Heading upstairs, the first-floor accommodation is equally impressive, with three well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom and the added convenience of an en-suite shower room to the principal bedroom.

The principal bedroom is a particularly lovely space, benefiting from two windows which allow natural light to enter from different directions throughout the day. This creates a bright and airy atmosphere, while the generous proportions provide plenty of room for a comfortable bed and additional bedroom furniture.

And to make this room even more appealing, there's the luxury of your own private en-suite shower room.

Fitted with a contemporary white three-piece suite, the en-suite features a generous walk-in shower enclosure, WC and wash hand basin, complemented by partially tiled walls and attractive chrome fittings. It's a welcome addition to any home, especially on those busy weekday mornings when everyone is getting ready at the same time.

Bedroom two is another generously proportioned room, offering excellent flexibility for a growing family or visiting guests. There's plenty of scope to arrange the furniture to suit your needs, whether that's creating a comfortable bedroom for an older child or a welcoming space for friends and relatives staying overnight.

Bedroom three is also a good size and could be used in several different ways depending on your requirements. It would make a lovely child's bedroom, nursery or guest room, but could work equally well as a dedicated home office if you regularly work from home. Having this flexibility is a real advantage, particularly as your needs change over time.

Completing the first floor is the modern family bathroom, fitted with a white three-piece suite comprising a bath, WC and wash hand basin. Finished in a clean, contemporary style, it provides everything needed for everyday family life. Together with the principal bedroom's en-suite and the ground-floor WC, the property offers excellent bathroom facilities for a three-bedroom home.

And there's plenty more to appreciate when you step outside.

To the front of the property, a spacious tarmac driveway provides generous off-road parking, which is always an important consideration for households with more than one vehicle. The neat, low-maintenance frontage creates an attractive first impression, while the driveway leads directly to the integral garage.

The garage provides valuable additional space, whether you need secure parking, somewhere to store bicycles and gardening equipment or simply a little extra room for all those household items that tend to accumulate over time. And of course, with the internal access from the hallway, it's particularly convenient.

To the rear, you'll discover an enclosed garden that provides a lovely space for the whole family to enjoy.

A generous lawn creates plenty of room for children and pets to play, while the attractive patio area offers an excellent setting for outdoor furniture and summer dining. Whether you're hosting a barbecue with friends, enjoying a morning coffee or simply sitting outside with a glass of wine on a warm evening, there's plenty of space to make the most of the garden.

And then there's the location, which is another excellent reason to consider Number 35 Speckled Wood Drive.

Situated on a popular modern residential development to the south of Carlisle, the property offers a lovely balance between a peaceful neighbourhood setting and convenient access to everyday amenities. It's an appealing location for families, first-time buyers and professionals who want to enjoy modern living without being too far from the city centre.

Carlisle offers an excellent selection of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, cafés and leisure facilities, while the wider southern side of the city provides access to local schools, green spaces and transport connections. Whether you're commuting to work, taking the children to school or heading into town for an evening out, the location provides a convenient base for everyday life.

For those who enjoy getting outdoors, the surrounding area also offers opportunities for walking and enjoying the fresh air, while Carlisle's wider road network makes travelling around the city and beyond straightforward.
