Cross Gates, Lamplugh, Workington

WELCOME TO YOUR FABULOUS NEW HOME!
We are delighted to show you this super four bedroomed detached house which occupies a convenient spot equidistant to Cockermouth, Workington and Whitehaven and even closer to the fabulous Lakes and Fells of Lamplugh, Loweswater, Ennerdale and Buttermere - it's even within walking distance of a great country pub and is handy for several local primary and secondary schools.
The house is fabulous and offers some great space, perfect for entertaining, working from home etc. The kitchen and main bathroom have been re-fitted to a high spec and in recent times new upvc windows have been installed and there's a new boiler too. Gardens are practical, great for a family and offer some wonderful and interesting space, especially the wild flower meadow (approximately 250 sq.m) which is accessed via a timber bridge. A double garage will also give you all the storage space you need!
The views, particularly from the rear, are completely enchanting and utterly priceless. Come and see for yourself.

Owners' Comments - What living at Ashburn has meant to me?
Space, light, life and memories - Ashburn has fulfilled all my expectations.

Space
The flow of the downstairs with a full house of guests to stay, or my family of two sons and their children, without feeling crowded or uncomfortable, as well as being able to entertain in style, both inside and outside. The use of the spacious tiled front hall to put on our walking boots and the utility room’s use as a drying room for wet gear. Not to mention the joy of the meadow as a sanctuary for wildflowers, insects and birds.

Light
Even on the dullest of days, the house is bathed in light due to the large windows, dual and triple aspect in many rooms.

Life
As avid walkers, the location is perfect, conveniently near a main road with the fells on the doorstep. Views to Blake Fell and Knott Murton from the house and garden. Blake Fell and Cogra Moss are in walking distance from the house. Easy access to Cockermouth and Keswick for shopping and entertainment, the whole of the Lake District and the sea.

Memories
A rich panoply of memories over more than twenty years, which I will keep with me for ever. With advancing years and widowed, it is right that I move on while I still can.
