Grasmere Avenue, Workington, CA14 3LR

You’ll Buy It For The Potential And The Big Back Garden - The Sea Views Are A Bonus. A substantial semi that’s crying out for some TLC - but the recently updated windows, electrics, heating and roof mean you can focus on style, not structure.

Located on one of Moorclose most popular streets, this three-bed semi gives you the chance to create something special. It’s certainly not in showhome condition – but that’s the exciting part! 

All the big expensive jobs have already been taken care of, so the heavy lifting’s already been done for you: the boiler went in a couple of years ago, the roof was replaced in 2021 and the electrics and triple-glazed windows were sorted back in 2019.

The layout works well as it is, with a bright, spacious lounge that runs from front to back and a similar sized 18ft kitchen diner at the rear. But with a strategically placed lintel you open them both up to a sociable U-shaped open plan ground floor. 

Upstairs, there are three decent bedrooms, a separate w/c, and a bathroom that, let’s be honest, you’ll probably want to rip out. 

But again: the structure’s solid, and there’s space to work with.

Outside is even better. The 20m rear garden has so much potential - wide, open, and not overlooked, with far-reaching views across town towards the Scottish coastline. 

It’s currently all low maintenance concrete but with a bit of vision there’s space for kids, pets, veg plots or patios. And there’s a garage too, with access and parking from the rear lane.

Grasmere Avenue is a pleasant 15 minute walk along the old railway line straight to the centre of town. If you do need to get in more urgently it’s only 5 minutes in the car.

Given it’s a family-friendly property, Victoria Infant & Nursery School (rated “Outstanding” by Ofsted) is only 10 minutes walk away. 

For older kids, Workington Academy is a little further away - but still within walking distance or a 10 minute bike ride away.

This is a structurally sorted semi with sea views, a 20m back garden and serious scope to add value - perfect if you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and make it your own.
