WHY not take the opportunity to look around this historic property which is now on the market?
This unique home opportunity sits inside a Grade II listed building in a part of Carlisle that is steeped in heritage.
The house sits inside the historic quarter of the city centre and is currently for sale with a guide price of £250,000.
Just 150 metres away is one of the most popular landmarks in the area, Carlisle Castle and it is also within walking distance of the popular attraction of Tullie House and Carlisle Cathedral.
The property was built in the 1890s and has a rough-dressed sandstone exterior with a hipped graduated slate roof.
It is said to have a 'unique curved frontage' which is noticeable when looking at the house from the street.
Over the years the front ground floor of the property was used as a hairdresser which became popular with the people of Carlisle.
The distinctive shop frontage remains a part of the building's design today.
The access to the shop has now been boarded up internally, making the property in full residential use.
The building retains many original characteristics such as high ceilings, moulded plaster ceiling cornices, large sash windows, and attractive window panes.
The accommodation currently provides a ground floor living room, dining area, kitchen point, toilet facilities, and access to the rear car park.
On the first floor, there are three bedrooms and a W/C, plus two separate attics on the second floor.
The building sits on the corner of Castle Street and Finkle Street in a mixed commercial and increasingly residential location.
The estate agents explain that the property is within close distance of Carlisle Railway station which provides transport to major UK cities like Glasgow and London.
As the house is located in the city centre it is also within proximity of The Lanes shopping centre and other amenities.
