Tudor House ~ Recreation Apartment w' River View

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 space 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.
