5 bedroom detached house for sale

A LARGE Family Home On A HUGE Plot With ENORMOUS Potential. If you’re a big family (or just like plenty of space), it could be ideal. It’s one of the biggest family homes on this popular estate and with a little TLC you could make it the best.

This five-bedroom detached sits on an impressively large plot, at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac.

With five double bedrooms, two large reception rooms and a spacious kitchen/diner, there’s plenty of room for everyone to have their own space.

It’s been well cared for but would benefit from a cosmetic freshen-up - making it the perfect blank canvas if you have ambitious plans and like working on a grand scale.

The ground floor has a spacious open plan lounge / dining room which gets plenty of light from the large windows at the front and patio doors at the back.

The garage has been converted into another reception room. That gives you the chance to have a more formal dining room, a playroom or a separate space for older kids to chill out.

The kitchen / diner at the rear has plenty of storage space in the fitted units, an integrated oven and hob and a breakfast bar.

There’s a separate utility room for your appliances and a w.c.

Chances are you’d be looking to update the kitchen at some point and when considering your options you could open it up to create a more open plan, sociable layout. Quite how many walls you knock through is up to you - but there is potential to connect both the lounge / dining room and the 2nd reception room to the kitchen.

Upstairs, you’ll find five generously sized double bedrooms so there should be no squabbles over who gets the “best” room.

The stylish family bathroom doesn’t have a bath - there’s a large walk-in shower instead. That said, with a bit of a rejig there is room to fit a bath if you like a relaxing soak or have smaller children.

Located at the end of a cul-de-sac, the substantial 775m² (8,340ft²) plot means there’s something for everyone outside.

There’s a large drive with space to park several cars, a small front lawn and a large lawn which wraps around the side of the property and extends 20m to the rear.

The west facing garden makes the most of the hillside location, with a large terrace (accessible from the living room) that overlooks the lawn and would make a lovely spot to sit with a cool drink and watch the sun set.

The elevated position offers fantastic views over the rooftops towards the sea.

You may never need to extend but the large plot with space at the side and the rear does give you that option (subject to planning permission, of course).

This home is located in a very popular and convenient part of town. It’s only a 7 minute drive to the town centre and less than 5 minutes to St Benedicts Catholic School, Jericho Primary School or Whitehaven Academy.

Corkcicle station is less than a 20 minute walk away (or 4 mins in the car), with frequent trains direct to Carlisle and Barrow, along with daily connections to Windermere, Preston and Manchester Airport.

It’s less than a five minute drive to the hospital and only another 2 minutes further on to the Science Park. It’s also a handy starting point if you like heading out into the National Park - Ennerdale is the closest lake, it’s around 20 mins in the car or a 1hr bike ride away.

If you have a large family and are looking for five double bedrooms and plenty of ground floor space you’ll know that substantial homes like this don’t come onto the market very often.

That’s why I’m expecting plenty of interest - make sure you don’t miss out by calling us to arrange a viewing.
