About this property
The View From The Top Floor Will Make You Forget You're Still In Cumbria. Sea on one side, the Western Fells on the other - and a four-bedroom detached house beneath it all, waiting for a family to make it their own. This is the blank canvas a lot of people spend years searching for.
Key features
- Sea views to the west and fell views to the east - visible from the upper floors on a clear day
- Four bedrooms give real flexibility for families, home workers, or anyone needing a dedicated office
- Freshly fitted kitchen with shaker-style cabinets, dark slate-effect worktops and a garden-facing window
- New gas combi boiler already installed, so the big-ticket practical jobs are already done
- Separate utility room with its own external door - ideal for keeping muddy boots and school bags out of the kitchen
- Wraparound garden with real scope for landscaping, extending subject to planning, or simply handing over to the kids
- Two garages alongside the property take care of storage, bikes and everything that accumulates with a growing family
- Hensingham Primary, Jericho Primary, St Benedict's Catholic High and The Whitehaven Academy all close by
- West Cumberland Hospital practically on the doorstep, with a straightforward A595 run out to Sellafield
- Ennerdale Water and the Western Fells within easy reach - one of the most liveable corners of Cumbria
