College View, Whitehaven, CA28

This spacious four/five bed detached dormer bungalow occupies a generous corner plot in a quiet cul-de-sac in the highly regarded Kells area of Whitehaven. Set in an elevated position, the home enjoys far reaching views across the town and towards Dent fell, best appreciated from the raised patio directly accessed from the main living accommodation. Owned by the same family since construction, the property now presents a rare opportunity for modernisation and reconfiguration, ideal for a family seeking space, potential, and a long term home near the coast.

The ground floor offers a welcoming hallway, a large lounge/diner with patio doors opening onto the garden, a fitted kitchen, conservatory, three well proportioned bedrooms (one currently used as a dining room), and a family bathroom. Upstairs, two additional rooms offer excellent flexibility for use as bedrooms, home offices, or hobby spaces, with one boasting the most impressive outlook in the house, and is ideal for conversion to a stunning principal suite.

Externally, the property benefits from attractive wraparound gardens, multiple seating areas, mature planting, and a raised patio terrace perfect for enjoying the views and sunshine. There is also ample offroad parking and space for further enhancement.

Located close to schools, shops, and Whitehaven town centre, with easy access to the A595 for commuting to Sellafield and other employment hubs along the west coast, the home is offered with no onward chain, making this a standout opportunity to create something truly special.
