Wasdale House, Main Street, St. Bees, CA27

Wasdale House is a rare blend of timeless period charm and modern family living, situated in the heart of the picturesque coastal village of St Bees. Beautifully renovated throughout by the current owners to a superb standard, this spacious family home combines original character features with contemporary comfort. From ornate fireplaces to sash windows, every detail has been carefully preserved or enhanced. With no compromise on layout, the home has also been thoughtfully reconfigured to suit modern family life.

The accommodation is both generous and versatile. The ground floor features a traditional entrance hallway, formal lounge with a striking feature fireplace, and a further reception room ideal for flexible use. The heart of the home is a stunning kitchen featuring navy shaker style cabinetry and quartz worktops, flowing seamlessly into a characterful dining room with a fireplace and garden access. There’s also a useful utility/boot room, WC, and access to a practical cellar room. Upstairs, the first floor offers a large principal bedroom with stylish ensuite, two further bedrooms, and a beautiful four piece bathroom. The second floor comprises two well appointed bedrooms with glorious views over the gardens, golf course, village and Irish Sea, complemented by a modern bathroom to serve both bedrooms on this level.

Externally, the property enjoys an absolutely magical and surprisingly expansive plot. The landscaped gardens are a true haven, meticulously designed with mature trees, wildflower planting, multiple patios for entertaining, and a large enclosed lawn perfect for children. Despite its prime village location, the setting offers tranquility and space rarely found. With driveway parking to the side, fine views and no onward chain, Wasdale House presents a rare opportunity to secure a characterful yet contemporary home in a sought after coastal community.
