Newly improved and maintained to a high standard, this semi-detached home to the west of Carlisle city centre is sure to be of interest to young families, friends sharing or commuters who need quick and convenient motorway access.

The property, which has just had double glazing installed, is in the quiet cul-de-sac of Lytham Close and is a modern semi of traditional design with the benefit of ample parking and a separate garage.

It is close to local amenities and opposite an open area with mature trees, shrubs and grass.

There is a step up to the maintenance-free uPVC front door which opens to the entrance hall. Here are doors to the lounge overlooking the front garden and dining kitchen at the back of the house.

The living room has a feature fireplace housing a gas fire and is a good-sized room. The dining kitchen is larger and is a recently renovated room.

It has a wide range of white Shaker-style wall and floor units with complementary tiled splashbacks and wooden work surfaces. The floor is covered in attractive wood-effect laminate and there is space for a dining table.

Integrated appliances in the kitchen include fridge-freezer, gas hob and electric oven while double French doors lead to the back garden.

On the first floor of the house the landing is illuminated by a side window and a storage cupboard houses the central heating boiler. Access to the loft is found here too.

The three bedrooms, two doubles and a single, all have useful storage facilities. The double bedroom at the front of the property has a large built-in wardrobe with shelves while the double bedroom at the rear also has a large built-in wardrobe.

The single bedroom, which is at the front, has a large overstairs cupboard and a telephone point.

The bedrooms share the three-piece shower room which has fully-tiled walls and floor.

Outside there are low-maintenance gardens to three sides of the house. The front garden is laid to lawn with a rose bush beneath the living room and shrubs delineating the property boundary.

The driveway has parking for two to three cars, a door into the kitchen and a gate to the back garden. It leads to the garage at the back of the house which features an up-and-over door, lighting and power points.

The back garden has a large patio area outside the French doors from the kitchen, making this an ideal spot for al-fresco dining or entertaining.

The garden, which is fenced in for security, also has a grassed area with paths to the side and back and a large shed.
