3 bed end terrace house for sale

Bannisdale Way, Carlisle CA2

If you're searching for a family home with far more space than you might first imagine, then Number 3 Bannisdale Way is definitely one to get excited about! This fantastic three-double-bedroom semi-detached home occupies a generous corner plot in the ever-popular Morton area to the west of Carlisle and has been substantially extended over two floors to create a wonderfully spacious and versatile home.

With a gorgeous contemporary dining kitchen, separate utility room, almost 19ft living dining room, three genuine double bedrooms, stylish shower room, extensive off-road parking and attractive low-maintenance gardens, this is a brilliant opportunity for first-time buyers, growing families or anyone looking to take that next step up the property ladder.

One of the things that makes Number 3 particularly appealing is just how much additional space the two-storey extension has created. What was once a more traditional semi-detached home has been transformed into a property offering generous accommodation across both floors, with a layout that works brilliantly for modern family life.

The current owners have introduced some lovely contemporary touches throughout, including parquet-style luxury lvt flooring, decorative wall panelling, a stylish matt grey kitchen and a beautifully finished shower room. Add in uPVC double glazing and full gas central heating, and you have a comfortable, well-presented home with plenty of practical features already in place.

On arrival, the first impression is excellent. The property occupies a generous corner plot with a spacious gravel driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles, along with the added convenience of an installed EV charging point, perfect for anyone who already owns an electric vehicle or is considering making the switch in the future. Attractive lawned gardens wrap around the side of the house, giving Number 3 a lovely feeling of space around it.

Step through the front door and the impressive accommodation begins to reveal itself.

The entrance hallway is a fantastic size, providing plenty of room to greet family and guests as they arrive. A staircase rises to the first floor, while doors lead into the spacious living room and the separate utility room, which was originally the kitchen before the property was extended. Underfoot, beautiful parquet-style luxury lvt flooring immediately creates a smart first impression and continues through into the utility and the impressive kitchen beyond.

The living room is another fantastic space and extends to almost 19ft in length, giving you an enormous amount of flexibility when it comes to furniture arrangements. Two large windows allow natural light to flood into the room, creating a lovely bright atmosphere throughout the day, while a gas fire provides an attractive focal point and additional warmth during the colder months. Decorative timber wall panelling introduces another stylish touch and adds a little extra character to the room. With such generous proportions, there's plenty of space for comfortable sofas, occasional furniture and a dining table if required, or you could simply dedicate the entire room to relaxing and entertaining.

And then we come to one of the most practical improvements the current owners have made.

The original kitchen has been cleverly repurposed into a separate utility room, and what a useful addition this is to the house! For busy family life, having somewhere dedicated to laundry, cleaning equipment and everyday household essentials makes such a difference, and this room provides exactly that. Fitted with a range of base units and complementary work surfaces, there's additional storage along with dedicated spaces for a washing machine and tumble dryer, helping keep the main kitchen tidy and clutter-free. Recessed LED ceiling spotlights complete the contemporary finish, while the gorgeous parquet-style lvt flooring continues seamlessly through from the entrance hall.

An opening from the utility takes you directly into the extended dining kitchen.

And wow, what a transformation this space has undergone!

The kitchen is without question one of the standout features of Number 3 and has been beautifully designed to create a modern, stylish and incredibly practical space for everyday family life. An extensive range of quality wall and base units finished in a sophisticated matt grey colour is complemented by attractive work surfaces, creating a really smart contemporary appearance.

There's an excellent range of integrated appliances too, including an eye-level electric oven with a combination microwave above, a four-ring gas hob and an integrated dishwasher, while a dedicated space accommodates an American-style fridge/freezer. Everything has been thoughtfully arranged to provide plenty of preparation space and storage, making this a kitchen that looks fantastic but also works brilliantly when it comes to cooking for the family.

And one of the features we particularly like is the clever dining arrangement.

Rather than simply placing an ordinary table in the room, the current owners have introduced a dining table designed to complement the kitchen work surfaces, creating a beautifully coordinated and incredibly practical place to sit down together. Whether it's breakfast before school, a quick lunch, helping the children with homework or enjoying an evening meal, this is exactly the kind of informal dining space that works so well in a family home.

A large window overlooking the front elevation allows plenty of natural light to pour into the kitchen, while recessed LED ceiling spotlights provide excellent illumination when preparing meals in the evening. The continuation of the parquet-style lvt flooring ties the entire space together beautifully, giving the kitchen and utility a lovely sense of flow.

Head upstairs and the first-floor landing provides access to all three bedrooms and the family shower room.

And here's another feature that really sets Number 3 apart from many other three-bedroom semi-detached homes.

All three bedrooms are genuine double rooms!

That's a huge advantage for a growing family, particularly when so many properties offer two doubles and a much smaller third bedroom. Here, every bedroom has excellent proportions and offers plenty of flexibility when it comes to furniture arrangements, giving everyone their own comfortable space.

The principal bedroom is positioned towards the front of the property and is a fantastic-sized double room with plenty of space for a substantial bed and additional furniture. Bespoke fitted wardrobes provide excellent storage, while decorative wall panelling and recessed LED ceiling spotlights introduce a lovely contemporary finish. It's a beautifully presented bedroom that feels stylish, comfortable and incredibly practical.

Bedroom two is another generous double room and has been decorated in lovely natural, calming tones that create a relaxing atmosphere. Decorative wall panelling adds another attractive design feature, while a useful built-in storage cupboard provides additional space for clothing and belongings. With its excellent proportions, there's plenty of room to arrange the furniture to suit your own requirements.

Bedroom three is equally impressive and, unlike the smaller box rooms found in many traditional semi-detached houses, this is another proper double bedroom. A large window allows natural light to flood inside, while decorative wall panelling continues the stylish theme found throughout the first floor. Whether you need all three bedrooms for family members, want a generous guest room or perhaps need somewhere to work from home, this room provides plenty of flexibility without compromising on space.

Completing the first-floor accommodation is the beautifully appointed family shower room, which has been finished in a contemporary style and offers everything needed for busy everyday life. The modern three-piece suite comprises a corner shower enclosure with a mixer shower, WC and wash hand basin incorporated within a stylish vanity unit, providing useful storage while maintaining a smart, uncluttered appearance. Fully tiled walls and a tiled floor create a lovely coordinated finish, while a PVC ceiling with recessed spotlights adds another practical modern touch. A window provides natural light, while an illuminated LED vanity mirror completes the look beautifully.

And as good as the accommodation is inside, there's plenty to appreciate outside too.

The property occupies a substantial corner plot, giving it an excellent amount of outside space and a particularly generous frontage. The gravel driveway provides off-road parking for several vehicles, while the lawned garden wraps around the side of the house, creating an attractive green setting.

To the rear, the garden has been designed with low maintenance firmly in mind, making it perfect for anyone who wants an attractive outdoor space without spending every weekend mowing lawns and pulling up weeds. Artificial turf provides a lovely green appearance throughout the year, while a decking area creates a fantastic spot for outdoor furniture. Imagine sitting here with your morning coffee on a sunny weekend or enjoying a glass of wine on a summer evening after a busy day at work.

And the garden has another rather clever surprise!

A timber shed provides useful storage for gardening tools, bikes and household equipment, but this isn't just an ordinary garden shed. Walk through it, and you'll discover that it also provides a handy passageway connecting the rear garden directly with the driveway at the front of the property. It's such a clever and practical feature, allowing you to bring bikes, bins, gardening equipment and other items between the front and rear without needing to carry everything through the house.

Morton is a fantastic place to call home, particularly for families and first-time buyers looking for a popular residential location with plenty of everyday amenities close by. Bannisdale Way is conveniently positioned for local shops, convenience stores, takeaways and other facilities, while Carlisle city centre is just a short journey away for a much wider selection of shopping, restaurants and leisure opportunities.

For families, there are several local schooling options, including Newlaithes Nursery and Infant School, Newlaithes Junior School and Richard Rose Morton Academy, all located within the wider Morton area. Public transport connections are also very convenient, with the number 62 bus service running along Bannisdale Way and providing connections towards Carlisle city centre.

For motorists, the location offers easy access to Wigton Road, Dalston Road and the Carlisle Western Bypass, making travelling around the city and towards West Cumbria straightforward. With local green spaces, schools, shops and excellent transport connections all close by, it's easy to see why Morton continues to be such a popular place for families and people looking to settle down.

Whether you're a first-time buyer searching for a home with room to grow, a young family needing more bedroom space or someone simply looking for a beautifully presented property with a practical layout, Number 3 Bannisdale Way really does have an awful lot going for it.
