The scheme on Stanhope Road is a short distance from the vibrant city centre of Carlisle. Carlisle is a thriving city with great shops and full of history. At Bishops Close we have a mix of bedsits and one/two bedroom apartments spread over three buildings, most are accessible via lift and stairs.Bishops Close is a well-established scheme in the area and benefits from being surrounded in greenery and a welcoming and friendly resident community. Residents have the best of both worlds; the privacy of their own home coupled with the option of socialising with others, knowing that there’s support available if needed.
When you choose to, you can experience a vibrant and inviting communal area perfect for gatherings and events, where you can relax and chat with friends and family. We have regular activities such as Coffee mornings, Bingo and Dominos.
We also have a well maintained communal garden. We maintain the garden but love that residents also get involved and add their own touches.
Our scheme benefits from private parking and on and off street parking. A self-contained guest room is available for your visitors to use, finished to a high standard and benefitting from a single bed and shared bathroom." Show less
