7 bed bungalow for sale

Grinsdale, Carlisle CA5

Two Proper Homes, One Peaceful Plot - And A River View You'll Never Tire Of. A 5-bed family home + 2-bed lodge for the grandparents, all in a quiet hamlet just minutes from the M6. This rare setup lets you all live together - not on top of each other. Property ref: KD0516

Your parents need support. You need space. And up until now, finding something that ticks both boxes probably felt impossible.

But Tonrie & The Lodge do exactly that – offering two proper homes on one generous riverside plot, with enough room for everyone to live comfortably, independently, and close to each other.

Tonrie is the main house – a five-bedroom family home with a stylish, sociable dining kitchen, a utility room complete with its own stove, and a separate lounge that opens into a sunroom, making the most of those stunning views across the River Eden.

The tiered back garden offers a peaceful space to enjoy the outdoors - with steps down to a lawned area perfect for kickabouts with the kids or just sitting back to take in the river views.

There are three bedrooms and a family bathroom downstairs, plus two more upstairs – one with an en suite, perfect for a growing teen or returning uni student.

Next door, The Lodge gives the grandparents a home of their own – single-storey, stylish and just the right size.

There's an open-plan lounge and kitchen with a sunroom. The bathroom has a stylish walk-in bath that looks like a design choice rather than a necessity, along with two bedrooms (a double and a single)

They both sit on a private gated plot in Grinsdale – a peaceful riverside hamlet on the western edge of Carlisle. It’s the kind of spot where you’ll hear birdsong before traffic, yet you’re only 12 minutes drive from the city centre and less than 10 from the M6 or Kingmoor Park.

Burgh by Sands Primary School is just a five minute drive away and rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted – as is Belle Vue Primary on the edge of the city. You’ve also got riverside walks on your doorstep, Hadrian’s Wall just down the road, and the Solway Coast a short drive beyond.

This is a smart, practical setup that lets families support each other while still having their own space – and their own front doors. Two stylish homes on one plot - a rare family setup that works as hard as you do.

If this sounds like the sort of setup that could transform your family life, please call me to arrange a viewing.
