3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Burnsall Close, Carlisle CA2

There's something rather special about a home that's been loved and cared for by the same family for several decades, and Number 17 Burnsall Close is certainly one of those properties! Now coming to the market for the first time in many years, this lovely three-bedroom semi-detached home is ready for its next chapter, offering a wonderful opportunity for new owners to move in, settle down and create memories of their own.

Situated at the very end of a quiet no-through road on the western side of Carlisle, the property enjoys a lovely residential setting and comes complete with a spacious living and dining room, conservatory, separate utility room, ground-floor WC, integral garage and beautifully maintained gardens. And even better, it's being offered for sale with no onward chain!

What we particularly like about this home is that it offers everything needed for comfortable everyday living, while also giving buyers the opportunity to make improvements and introduce their own style over time.

Although some areas would benefit from cosmetic updating, the property has clearly been well looked after, and there's no need to rush into making changes straight away. With uPVC double glazing, gas central heating and well-proportioned accommodation throughout, it's a home that you can enjoy from day one while planning how you might like to make it your own.

On arrival, you'll immediately appreciate the property's position towards the very end of Burnsall Close, a peaceful residential cul-de-sac with no passing through traffic. The front garden has been neatly maintained, with a lawn, attractive gravelled planting areas and a flagged driveway providing off-road parking and leading directly to the integral single garage. It's a lovely first impression and one that reflects the care and attention this property has received over the years.

Step through the front door and you'll find yourself in a spacious and welcoming entrance hallway, with a staircase rising to the first floor and doors leading into the living and dining room and kitchen. There's also a useful storage cupboard at the base of the staircase, providing somewhere to keep everyday household essentials neatly tucked away.

Moving through to the living and dining room, you'll discover a wonderfully spacious reception room extending to almost 23 feet in length. This is a fantastic space for family life, with more than enough room to create comfortable seating and dining areas without either feeling cramped.

The living area is positioned towards the front of the property, where a large window allows plenty of natural light to fill the room. There's ample space for sofas, armchairs and other furniture, while a gas fire provides an attractive focal point and a welcome source of additional warmth during the colder months. It's easy to imagine relaxing here after a busy day, enjoying a quiet evening in front of the television or spending time together as a family.

Towards the rear of the room is the dedicated dining area, which comfortably accommodates a generous dining table and chairs, making it ideal for everyday meals, Sunday lunches and entertaining family and friends. There's even a traditional serving hatch connecting the dining area with the kitchen, a practical feature that adds a little character and makes serving meals that bit easier.

And just beyond the dining area, a set of attractive wooden French doors leads through to the conservatory, which is another lovely addition to the ground-floor accommodation.

Constructed with uPVC double glazing, the conservatory enjoys plenty of natural light and provides a wonderful outlook over the rear garden. It's a lovely space to sit with a morning coffee, enjoy a good book or simply relax while looking out towards the garden. With French doors opening directly onto the patio, the room also provides a convenient connection between the house and outside space, particularly during the warmer months when you can open the doors and enjoy the fresh air.

Moving through to the kitchen, you'll find a well-equipped and practical room that has served the current family well for many years. Although the kitchen is more traditional in appearance and may be somewhere new owners choose to update in the future, it remains functional and offers plenty of storage and workspace for everyday cooking.

There's a comprehensive range of fitted wall and base units, complemented by work surfaces and tiled splashbacks, together with a freestanding cooker and space for additional appliances. A breakfast bar provides a handy spot for a quick meal or morning cup of tea, while the tiled floor and timber-panelled ceiling add to the room's traditional character.

A large window overlooks the rear garden, allowing natural light into the kitchen and providing a lovely view outside. It's also a particularly useful feature for families, allowing you to keep an eye on children playing in the garden while preparing meals.

Another excellent feature of this home is the separate utility room, conveniently positioned just off the kitchen.

Having a dedicated utility space is always a bonus, particularly for busy households, and this room provides useful additional space for appliances such as a washing machine and larger fridge freezer. It helps keep the main kitchen free from laundry and everyday household clutter, while a uPVC double-glazed external door provides direct access to the rear garden.

There's also internal access from the utility room into the integral garage, making it easy to move between the two spaces without having to go outside.

And the utility room has another very useful feature - part of the space has been partitioned to create a convenient ground-floor WC, complete with a wash hand basin. It's a practical addition for family life and particularly handy when entertaining visitors or spending time in the garden.

Heading upstairs, the first-floor landing provides access to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom. There's also a built-in airing cupboard, offering useful storage for towels and bed linen, together with access to the loft space.

The principal bedroom is positioned towards the front of the property and is an excellent double room, with plenty of space for a double bed and additional bedroom furniture. A large window allows natural light to fill the room, creating a bright and comfortable space with plenty of potential for new owners to introduce their own decorative style.

Bedroom two is located towards the rear of the property and is another generous double bedroom, offering excellent proportions and a pleasant outlook towards the garden. It's a lovely room for children, guests or other family members, with plenty of flexibility when arranging furniture.

The third bedroom is a comfortable single room positioned at the front of the property, with space for a single bed and additional furniture. There's also a built-in storage cupboard, which is particularly useful in a room of this size. Alternatively, this could make an excellent home office, nursery or hobby room, depending on your requirements.

Completing the first-floor accommodation is the spacious four-piece family bathroom, which offers more than you might ordinarily expect from a property of this type.

The bathroom features a bathtub, perfect for enjoying a relaxing soak at the end of the day, together with a separate shower cubicle fitted with an electric shower. There's also a WC and wash hand basin, while fully tiled walls provide a practical finish. A large frosted-glass window allows plenty of natural light into the room while maintaining privacy.

Although the bathroom has a more traditional appearance and offers scope for updating, having both a separate bath and shower is a particularly useful feature for everyday family life.

Moving outside, the gardens are another lovely aspect of this property and have clearly been carefully maintained over the years.

The rear garden offers a really nice balance of lawn, patio space and established planting, creating an attractive outdoor area that can be enjoyed by the whole family. The lawn provides room for children to play or for anyone who enjoys a little gardening, while the flagged patio areas offer excellent places to arrange outdoor furniture, enjoy a barbecue or sit outside with a drink during the summer months.

Decorative planting around the garden boundaries adds colour and interest, while a substantial timber shed provides excellent storage for gardening tools, bicycles and other outdoor equipment.

There's also a timber gate at the side of the property, providing a convenient route between the front and rear gardens without having to walk through the house. It's a particularly useful feature when moving garden equipment, bins or other items between the two areas.

The integral single garage is another practical addition, providing useful space for storage, tools and household equipment, with the added convenience of direct internal access through the utility room.

And then there's the location, which is another excellent reason to consider this lovely home.

Burnsall Close is a quiet residential cul-de-sac situated on the western side of Carlisle, making it an appealing setting for buyers who prefer a peaceful neighbourhood while still wanting everyday amenities within easy reach.

The surrounding residential area offers convenient access to local shops, schools, green spaces and other services, while Carlisle city centre is within easy travelling distance for a much wider selection of shopping, restaurants, cafés and leisure facilities.

For families, there are primary and secondary schooling options across the western side of Carlisle, while nearby recreational spaces provide opportunities for walking, outdoor activities and spending time with children.

The property is also well positioned for access to the city's main road network, particularly routes towards the A689 Western Bypass, which provides useful connections around Carlisle and towards the M6 motorway. This makes the location convenient for anyone travelling to work or regularly heading towards other parts of Cumbria.

And with the city centre, Cumberland Infirmary and wider amenities of Carlisle all accessible by road, Burnsall Close offers a practical location for a wide range of buyers.

But ultimately, what makes Number 17 Burnsall Close so appealing is the opportunity it presents.

After several decades of being a much-loved family home, this property is now ready for someone new to enjoy everything it has to offer. The generous living accommodation, conservatory, three bedrooms, separate utility room, ground-floor WC and integral garage provide an excellent starting point, while the gardens and quiet cul-de-sac position add to its appeal.

There's certainly scope to introduce some modern touches and make the property your own, but that's part of the attraction. You can move in, take your time and gradually create a home that reflects your own taste and lifestyle.
