Description
With its landscaped west-facing garden, spacious driveway, and modern open-plan living spaces, this home delivers everything today’s buyers are looking for — comfort, practicality, and style — all sold with no onward chain and the reassurance of a remaining 2-year NHBC warranty.
Built by Persimmon Homes, Speckled Wood has become one of Carlisle’s most desirable addresses — a modern development with a great mix of property styles, peaceful surroundings, and a strong sense of community.
It’s the kind of place where children can play safely, neighbours stop to chat, and nature is right on your doorstep. The location strikes a perfect balance — you’re minutes from the city centre yet surrounded by green space and countryside walks, giving you the best of both worlds.
Pulling up to Number 2, you’ll instantly see the appeal.
The home exudes kerb appeal with its smart exterior, gravelled frontage, and elegant black iron railings. The spacious driveway provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles, a real bonus for family life.
Step inside, and you’re greeted by a bright and welcoming hallway, offering plenty of room for coats and shoes — a practical entrance that immediately feels like home.
To your left, you’ll find a handy cloakroom/WC, ideal for busy mornings or guests, while straight ahead lies the main living room — a spacious and relaxing retreat.
This room is designed for comfort, with soft neutral décor and a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes it perfect for cosy evenings in. A large under-stairs cupboard offers valuable storage, keeping the space neat and clutter-free.
Flowing seamlessly from the living room is the incredible dining kitchen, extending to almost 15 feet in length. This is the real heart of the home — a bright, social space designed for both cooking and entertaining. The kitchen itself is well-equipped with a comprehensive range of fitted units, ample worktop space, and a lovely outlook over the landscaped rear garden.
Whether you’re preparing family dinners or hosting friends, this space makes it a pleasure. The dining area is equally generous, with French doors leading straight out to the patio — creating that perfect indoor–outdoor connection. On summer evenings, throw them open and let the fresh air in while you enjoy al fresco dining or a glass of wine as the sun sets over the west-facing garden.
Upstairs, the home continues to impress with three well-proportioned bedrooms.
The master bedroom is a serene space, filled with natural light and enjoying pleasant views over open green fields to the front — the ideal start to your day. It also benefits from a modern en-suite shower room, beautifully appointed with contemporary fittings.
The second bedroom is another good-sized double, while the third room is a versatile single, perfect for a nursery, child’s room, dressing room, or home office.
Completing the first floor is the luxurious family bathroom, featuring modern tiling, LED lighting, luxury vinyl flooring, and sleek chrome finishes — a space that’s both stylish and practical.
Outside, this home truly shines.
The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped by the current owners, offering an impressive space for relaxation and entertainment.
The combination of a large Indian sandstone patio and neatly kept lawn makes it perfect for summer barbecues, family gatherings, or simply soaking up the evening sun in peace. The west-facing aspect ensures plenty of sunlight throughout the day, and the garden’s generous proportions make it feel open and private at once.
To the front, the home’s smart exterior presentation continues, with low-maintenance gravel borders adding a contemporary touch. The driveway provides parking for several vehicles, and there’s even space to extend further if desired (subject to planning).
Location-wise, Sewell Lane offers everything you could hope for.
The southern fringe of Carlisle provides easy access to excellent schools, convenience stores, and regular public transport, while the M6 motorway (Junction 42) is just a few minutes away — ideal for commuters. Yet despite its convenience, the area retains a peaceful, semi-rural feel, with parks, green spaces, and walking routes all nearby.
If your search is focused on finding a beautifully presented, move-in-ready home that combines practicality, modern comfort, and an unbeatable location, then Number 2 Sewell Lane could very well be the one.
With its spacious layout, landscaped garden, and outstanding setting on one of Carlisle’s most popular developments, this is a home you’ll fall in love with from the moment you arrive.

- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
