3 bedroom apartment for sale

If You’re Searching For A Truly Special Home Or Airbnb, This Luxurious Apartment Could Be Ideal. This superb apartment in a former Victorian country house has a spacious and versatile layout, a gorgeous “Instagrammable” staircase and superb sea views.

Workington history buffs will be keen to learn that Newlands House dates back to the 1870’s, with a colourful past that includes use as accommodation for local steelworkers and more recently the Newlands House Hotel.

It was fully renovated to a truly special standard in 2012, with the first floor being converted into a spacious and luxurious three bedroom apartment.

It has its own private entrance on the ground floor, with a handy utility room and WC and a large hallway.

The ornate original staircase that leads up to the first floor is amazing. It’s been beautifully restored and makes the journey upstairs into an event in its own right!

The spacious lounge and superb modern kitchen / diner have beautiful views over the rooftops towards the sea and the distant Scottish coastline. 

In keeping with the rest of the apartment they’re both tastefully decorated, with high ceilings giving a real feeling of space.

The stylish kitchen is modern and well equipped, with space for a large dining table where everyone can get together to catch up at the end of a busy day.

There are three large double bedrooms (with views over the rooftops toward open fields beyond) and a luxurious four piece family bathroom.

Being on the top floor gives access to the loft, where there’s plenty of room for storage (and the potential to convert it into another useable room, subject to planning permission/building control consent).

The apartment has use of a lovely shared garden at the rear - which is hardly ever used given the other properties all have their own private outdoor space - and an allocated parking space.

James Duffield Close is a quiet cul-de-sac, built around the country house and named after a former town mayor who first brought steelmaking to West Cumbria in 1882.

It’s in a convenient spot, less than 15 minutes walk to the town centre shops and only a couple of minutes stroll down the A596 until you reach the countryside.

It’s chain free and in immaculate condition - if you don’t have a property to sell it could be relatively quick and easy to get your hands on the keys.

This spacious and versatile apartment could appeal to a wide range of buyers looking for something special -  a cut above a normal apartment in an old converted property.

It would be a fantastic statement property for a couple or young family who always buy the best, a way to retire in style or a fabulous holiday let, guaranteed to stop Airbnb guests in their tracks.

There's also the potential for the property to come furnished.

Given the abundance of space available in the hall and landing there’s even room to install a lift if you struggle with stairs! 

This really is “a rare opportunity to purchase” a piece of Workington’s steelmaking history - which also happens to be a fabulous luxury apartment!
