No. 28 is a highly desirable detached residence situated in one of Carlisle's most sought after addresses overlooking Rickerby Park. The setting is superb as is the convenience of the location within walking distance of Stanwix Village, Bitts Park and the city centre itself. The property is offered in outstanding condition being both beautifully appointed and decorated throughout. The living accommodation is accessed from the central hallway. The delightful sitting room has a dual aspect with good natural light and a living flame gas fire. French doors provide access to the rear terrace and the views over the garden and parkland to the distant fells are superb.
Of particular interest is the wonderful kitchen/breakfast room which clearly forms the heart of the home providing an excellent space to congregate, made all the more worthwhile as it enjoys extensive glazing to the south and east and to the fine parkland views. A wood-burning stove provides a wonderful ambience and for ease of entertaining the room has a wide opening into the dining room.
The main bedroom suite is well proportioned and has the benefit of a dual aspect including windows to the front and rear to take advantage of the beautiful views and aspect. The room features a range of fitted wardrobes and a beautifully appointed en-suite shower room. The second double bedroom also has a wonderful aspect over the park. The third double bedroom features a wide bowed window with a leafy outlook onto Longlands Road. The fourth bedroom is front facing. The beautifully appointed and generous family bathroom has a large shower cubicle and a bath.
The setting is superb and the beautiful gardens complement the property well. These are landscaped and well tended featuring sculpted lawns and well established beds with a variety of shrubs and bushes. The lovely wide terrace is elevated to take full advantage of the open views towards the river to the south and fells to the east. An impressive summerhouse is provided.
** As mentioned, the convenience of the location is superb as is access to the main road network for travel east to Brampton and Newcastle Airport (approximately 1 hr 15 min by car) the Eden Valley and Lake District.
