Tudor House in Denton Holme… is light bright listed property full of period character nestled right by the river in Denton Holme, walking distance from the infirmary, or a 1.2 mile walk, 10 min bus ride or 5 min drive from Carlisle City Centre…
This listing is for The Recreation Room: Which comprises a large open plan kitchen/living area with high ceilings, a separate spacious bedroom with kingsized bed, bathroom with bath & shower. Additional fold out double & single beds in living area.

The building is special, built originally by the Ferguson Brothers as the Temperance Coffee Tavern & Reading Room ~ for their fabric mill and dye works. Ferguson Mill closed in 1991, and the building has since been used for a variety of uses, including a child care centre and a swimming club clubhouse.
Tudor House is tall and octagonal with a high pyramid roof and timber framed dormer gables, it neatly turns the angle between Bridge Terrace and North Street. The building retains many attractive period features such as high ceilings, tall windows and original panelling, doors and architraves. The entrance foyer and stairs are also special with original bannisters illuminated by chandelier-style lights and huge gothic arched windows.
Upstairs, The Reading Room is lined with book-cases filled with books and art. It is rumored that Charles Dickens came and read aloud to mill workers here, however the building wasn’t completed 1882, 12 years after Charles Dickens’ death… so it does seem unlikely…

Tudor House is now a striking development which was recently converted into four quirky, art-and-light filled, fully furnished apartments, all of which are being run as short term lets.

On the ground floor, there are two apartments, both one bedroom; and on first floor a further two apartments, one with one bedroom and one with two bedrooms. The spaces vary in size, some are very spacious, and we can also provide sofa beds and/or folding beds to add more flexibility to your stay.

These apartments are warm, and filled with books, art and curios… these are comfortable, characterful nests, away from the noise and hustle bustle; yet conveniently close to the city centre.

The apartments are fully furnished with everything you would need for a short stay, including:
• Excellent fast wifi.
• Large flat screen TV’s with freeview and smart connectivity (log into your own Amazon or Netflix account, or surf YouTube…)
• Modern, clean, fully stocked kitchens: microwave, toaster, kettle, cooker, pots, pans and utensils.
• Basics provided in the kitchen to get you started: tea, coffee, olive oil, salt & pepper.
• Private laundry facilities provided in each apartment: washing machine & powder, drying rail, an iron and ironing board.

• For those sunnier days, there’s plenty of outdoor spaces on the doorstep for you to explore.

Denton Holme is “a friendly village within a city”.
Denton Holme is situated to the immediate south west of the city centre on the western bank of the River Caldew and is famous for excellent community spirit. Known locally as an urban village, Denton Holme is close to the countryside and the city of Carlisle. There are excellent walks along the River Caldew with Dalston in one direction and the city in the other without having to cross a major road.

Denton Holme is fairly self sufficient and has a good range of shops, including ice-cream and fish and chip shops, Indian and Chinese takeaways, a quaint traditional sweet shop, a primary school, a community centre, a pharmacy, a co-op supermarket, a hardware store, a newsagents, several gift-shops and a florist, coffee shops and a choice of barbers & hairdressers. There is also a popular bingo hall and a branch of the Cumberland Building Society

Today, Denton Holme is a mostly residential area but in the nineteenth century and most of the twentieth century it was Carlisle's main industrial district with many textile mills, engineering works and other factories such as car seat manufacturers and confectioners. Today, very few factories remain although the last mill, Ferguson Brothers, the brothers who built Tudor House at Holme Head, only closed in the 1990s.

The majority of the houses and buildings in Denton Holme are red-brick terrace, a few of which - like Tudor House - are listed buildings. Many of the side streets are still cobbled, and although some new housing has been built in recent years and some of the former factories have been converted into flats, the area is still an area recognised and valued for its special historical and aesthetic character.

There is plenty of on-street parking. It's completely unrestricted if you park in front of the park at the front of the building.
The bus stops right at the front door every hour, making it very convenient to catch it into town.
However, you can also walk ~ about 20 minutes to get into the centre.
