Tucked away in the picturesque and ever-popular village of Houghton, just to the north of Carlisle, number 14 Smithy Croft is a wonderful two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow that promises comfort, convenience and community in equal measure. With its generous gardens, detached single garage, and driveway parking for several vehicles, this property occupies a superb position and is ideal for those seeking a peaceful yet well-connected home - quote LI0465.
Offered to the market with no onward chain, this bungalow is ready for immediate occupation. It has been lovingly maintained and benefits from UPVC double glazing and full gas central heating throughout, meaning you can simply move in and start enjoying village life without delay.
As you approach the property, you are immediately struck by the wide frontage and lawn garden, complemented by the generous gravel driveway that runs along the side of the bungalow. This is a home that feels welcoming even before you step inside.
Entering through the porch, you’ll find a handy space for coats and shoes before moving into the central hallway, which connects all the accommodation with ease.
The living room is a spacious and comfortable retreat, filled with natural light courtesy of a large front-facing window. The room offers flexibility for arranging furniture, whether you prefer a more formal layout or a cosy lounge setting. A coal-effect gas fire forms a charming focal point and adds a touch of warmth and character, especially welcome on cooler evenings.
The kitchen, positioned at the rear of the property, is equally impressive in size. Fitted with a practical range of wall and base units, complemented by extensive work surfaces, the kitchen offers excellent storage and preparation space. There is room for your essential appliances, including space for a washing machine and dishwasher, while the electric hob, tiled splashbacks, and integrated LED lighting add a modern touch. Best of all, from here you can enjoy wonderful views over the rear garden while you cook.
The two double bedrooms are located off the hallway and are both well-proportioned, making them equally versatile. Each enjoys a bright and airy atmosphere thanks to large windows that fill the rooms with light, creating restful and relaxing spaces that are perfect for unwinding at the end of the day.
Completing the interior is a modern shower room, thoughtfully designed with a corner shower cubicle, WC, and wash hand basin. With part tiled and part aqua panelled walls, along with contemporary chrome fittings, the shower room is stylish, practical and easy to maintain.
Externally, the property really comes into its own. To the front is a lawned garden which enhances the property’s kerb appeal, while the gravel driveway runs alongside the bungalow and provides ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles.
To the rear, a generous lawned garden awaits, bordered by mature plants and shrubs. This garden offers a fantastic amount of space – whether you’re looking to create a tranquil retreat, add colourful flower beds, or design an area for entertaining family and friends, the options are endless. The garden truly is a blank canvas, ready to be tailored to your lifestyle.
The detached single garage adds to the property’s appeal, providing secure parking or additional storage for garden tools, bikes, or hobby equipment.
The village of Houghton is one of the most desirable villages on the outskirts of Carlisle, combining rural charm with everyday practicality. It boasts a welcoming and close-knit community, complete with its own convenience store and post office, a highly regarded primary school, and even a popular café on the village green – the perfect spot to meet friends and enjoy coffee or lunch.
The village is well served by regular bus routes, making access into Carlisle quick and easy, while road links to the M6, A69 and city bypass are close at hand. For those who enjoy walking or cycling, the surrounding countryside offers plenty of scenic routes right on your doorstep.
Number 14 Smithy Croft is a home with so much to offer. Its spacious layout, generous gardens, and sought-after village location make it an ideal choice for downsizers, couples, or anyone wanting the ease and practicality of bungalow living. With no onward chain, this property is ready and waiting for its next chapter – could that be you?
