Newlands Lane, Workington, CA14 3NG

Spacious Semi Where You Can See Across The Sea To Scotland. This bay-fronted semi on a substantial, elevated plot has three bedrooms, three reception rooms and bags of potential. With a little cosmetic TLC it could become a fabulous family home.

You may not want a full-on property project but if you’re willing to roll your sleeves up and do some decorating, this substantial three bedroom semi could be the perfect blank canvas.

It does need a little cosmetic freshening up - but it would just take a lick of paint to add your own twist and transform this into a stylish and modern family home.

It’s slightly bigger than most three bedroom semis on this popular street, with a rear extension adding an extra reception room.

So there’s the usual bay fronted lounge and dining room - in this case they’re still two separate rooms, as originally constructed. That does give you the option of knocking through to create a larger, more sociable space.

The dining room has patio doors which let in plenty of light and give access to the large (over 20m) back garden.

The galley kitchen isn’t huge but it is stylish and modern - it’s definitely one room you wouldn’t need to update. The rear extension is used as a dining room, perfect for quick bite of lunch or midweek meals, rather than formal occasions.

There's also a handy downstairs WC, ideal for when the kids are out playing in the garden or when you're entertaining guests.

Upstairs has two large double bedrooms and a large single bedroom, along with a new luxurious four piece family bathroom. 

The views from the front bedroom - over the rooftops and the sea towards the Scottish coastline, will make it the pick of the bunch. 

With the kitchen and bathroom having recently been updated, that’s two important (and potentially most expensive) rooms which you won’t need to worry about!

The southeast facing garden has a large lawn for the kids to play on and a patio seating area for the grown-ups.

There’s a separate single garage at the end of the drive. With parking for 2 or 3 cars on the drive you may not need to use the garage for storing the cars (no-one does these days…) so it does give you options, being right next to the garden.

There’s off street parking for a couple of cars on the paved front drive along with a detached garage

If you do need to head into town you can walk it in around 20 minutes or there’s a choice of frequent buses, with a bus stop only a couple of doors down.

You don’t even need to head into town for your day-to-day essentials. Nearby Moorclose has its own shopping centre, with a post office, an off-licence, a chippy and a Spar - all just 2 a minute drive away.

If you have younger children there’s a choice of primary schools nearby. The “Outstanding” Ashfield Infant & Nursery School is the closest - it's just 5 minutes walk away. 

Older kids will have a slightly longer journey to St Joseph’s High School or Workington Academy - but both are still under 20 minutes walk away.

This substantial semi isn’t quite in move-in-ready condition but it’s not a major renovation project either. It’s somewhere in between - where you could move in and tackle it on a room by room basis, getting your paintbrushes out and your overalls on when you had the time.

Once complete it would stand you in good stead for years to come, a spacious and versatile home in a popular part of town, with lovely views.

I’m expecting plenty of interest from families willing to take it on - call now to arrange a viewing.
