Key features
- At 115 square metres, this is one of the larger three-bedroom semis available at this price point in Whitehaven - and you feel the difference the moment you're inside
- Two reception rooms give you a lounge at the front and a dining room behind it, with a clear opportunity to knock through to the kitchen for an open-plan rear living space
- The main bedroom and second bedroom are both real doubles with enough floor space for a proper bed, wardrobes and space to move around them comfortably
- The third bedroom is bigger than the standard box room in most comparable three-beds here - works as a nursery now and a proper child's bedroom or home office later
- Full bathroom and a separate WC on the first floor - a practical detail that makes a real difference when you're sharing the house with a family
- Integral garage measuring 5.45 by 5.52 metres with a roller shutter door - a full-size, genuinely usable space for a workshop, utility room or simply the car
- Enclosed rear garden with a paved patio and timber panel fencing on all sides - manageable enough to be practical for children or a dog without becoming a project in itself
- Corkickle station is within walking distance, with regular services onto the wider Cumbrian rail network - no need to get in the car for the commute
- Sellafield is fifteen to twenty minutes by car, making this a strong option for anyone relocating to work there - or an investor targeting the contractor rental market
- Priced to reflect the work needed, with enough room in the numbers to do the job properly and still come out ahead - whether you're buying to live in it or to let
About this property
The House That Lets You Build Something Real.
The kind of place where every decision is yours - the walls you knock through, the kitchen you design, the garden you make your own. Bought right, done on your terms, and worth considerably more when you're finished.
Most people looking at a project like this want the same thing: a house that's genuinely worth doing up, in a location that makes the effort worthwhile. A place where the structure is solid, the layout already makes sense, and the numbers actually add up once the work is done. That's exactly what Pow Avenue offers.
