About this home
Situated within one of Whitehaven's most sought-after residential areas, this beautifully presented three-bedroom home occupies a substantial plot, offering exceptional outdoor space, breathtaking countryside and uninterrupted Lakeland fell views to the rear, and exciting potential to extend (subject to the necessary planning permissions). From the moment you arrive, the property impresses with its generous frontage and large driveway, providing off-street parking for two vehicles. Inside, a welcoming hallway leads into a spacious and light-filled L-shaped lounge diner, featuring contemporary floor tiling and patio doors that open onto the rear garden, creating a wonderful connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces. The kitchen is well maintained and offers ample storage and workspace, with the added benefit of a separate utility room accessed via the rear door, providing practical everyday convenience. To the first floor, the landing leads to three beautifully presented bedrooms, two of which are generous double rooms, together with a stylish modern family bathroom. One of the standout features of this fantastic home is the impressive rear garden. Set across generous grounds with a tiered seating area, the upper terrace provides the perfect place to relax while taking in the fabulous open countryside and uninterrupted fell views. The extensive plot also offers excellent potential for future extension, subject to the relevant planning consents. The garden also benefits from a substantial outbuilding with lighting and electricity, currently used by the vendors as a home workspace, with a seating area positioned to the front, making it equally suited as a home office, hobby room or studio. The location is equally appealing, with West Cumberland Hospital just a short walk away, making this an ideal purchase for healthcare professionals. Whitehaven town centre is only a short drive away, while a range of well-regarded local schools, shops and everyday amenities are all within easy reach.
