Museum Villas, Common End, Distington, CA14 5XY

Every Detail’s Been Updated For Your Comfort And Joy. This superb recently refurbished townhouse now has a gorgeous bathroom, a log burner lounge, fire pit garden and a private roof terrace where you can enjoy your coffee, taking in the views.

Set back from the road and quietly hiding behind its more prominent neighbour, you’d be forgiven for walking past this unassuming terraced townhouse. But behind that front hedge and modest exterior is a three-storey home with more than a few tricks up its sleeve.

It’s been fully stripped back to brick and carefully modernised, bringing warmth, style and a few unexpected extras to a smartly updated home, right in the heart of the village.

The ground floor gives you a spacious lounge with a log burner and French doors leading into a separate dining room. The galley kitchen is smart, stylish and practical - and there’s even a handy downstairs loo tucked away at the back.

Up on the first floor is where things start to open up and get interesting. 

There’s a stunning four-piece family bathroom with a bath and a separate shower - and a double bedroom with the window leading out to a private roof terrace with panoramic views across the fields. It’s the perfect spot for quiet mornings with a coffee or an evening glass of wine.

The top floor has two more bedrooms - another large double and a third room that could work as a bedroom, office, or gaming space.

And then there’s the garden. It’s a proper head-turner - complete with a wooden summer house, pond and a built-in seating around a fire pit, that’s all set for autumn marshmallows or laid-back summer drinks.

You’ll also have a large double garage accessed by a shared driveway, with space for cars, bikes, tools or that canoe you couldn’t resist in the Aldi middle aisle…

Location-wise, Distington really does give you the best of both worlds. It’s a short drive to Workington or Whitehaven, but you’ve got all your daily essentials right here - Morrisons daily, a chip shop and GP surgery. 

There’s even a Burger King next to Starbucks at the A595 Lillyhall roundabout.

Distington Community School (rated “Good” by Ofsted) is just down the road, and there are regular buses for older kids heading to Workington or Whitehaven Academy.

And when you want to get out into nature, the open fields behind the house are a great place to start. Ennerdale Water is only 25 minutes by car - or a 10-mile bike ride if you’re feeling adventurous. West Cumbria Cycle Network is just 5 minutes away and can take you either through Parton along to Whitehaven or through Harrington into Workington.

This is a stylish three-storey village home that’s full of surprises - roof terrace views, a fire pit garden, and every detail thoughtfully considered and updated.

I’m expecting plenty of interest so call now to arrange a viewing.
