Beck Rise, Beckermet, CA21 2YN

Ready To Become Everyone’s Favourite House? From pizza parties to movie nights and bubbles in the hot tub, this superb 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom family home is designed for laughs, lazy Sundays and making big memories with friends and family.

If your weekends revolve around good food, great company and a garden that gets as much use as your living room - this is your kind of place.

The kitchen is where you will understand what this house is really about. It has been fitted with a bespoke handleless design in dark graphite, a large island, multiple Neff ovens, a warming drawer, a wine cooler, a boiling water tap, and yellow velvet bar seating that invites people to pull up a chair and stay a while. There is a separate utility room and a downstairs WC keeping the day-to-day clutter firmly out of sight. This is a kitchen designed for people who actually enjoy cooking, not one designed to photograph well and then be ignored.

The kitchen opens directly into the sunroom, which runs the full width of the rear of the house. With French doors that open to the garden, the two spaces connect into something that feels considerably larger than the sum of their parts.

And when the sun's out? Just open the doors and take the fun outside.

The garden has been designed to follow the sun. From the morning terrace at the side through to the sunken hot tub in the afternoon and the firepit under the pergola as the evening draws in, there is a logical, pleasurable sequence to how the outside space works across a full day. Distant sea views sit on the horizon. It is private enough to forget the rest of the world is out there, and impressive enough that guests will talk about it long after they have gone home.

Inside, the layout works beautifully for busy family life. 

Two large reception rooms give you flexibility - whether you want a dedicated cinema room (like it is now), playroom or home office, there’s space for it.

Upstairs, four double bedrooms are arranged across the first floor, with the principal bedroom having its own en-suite. The family bathroom on this floor has a freestanding sculptural bath and a bidet, finished with large-format dark tiles and a designer chrome radiator. 

Head up again, and you’ll find a second-floor double bedroom and another large bathroom with a corner bath and separate shower - ideal for teens, guests or even multi-generational living.

Outside, there’s a huge block-paved driveway with space for several cars (plus room for the camper van or caravan), and a detached double garage for even more space.

Add in the handy utility, a downstairs loo, integrated appliances, and a trendy Quooker boiling water tap - and you’ve got a home that’s not just sociable, but seriously sorted for modern family life.

Beckermet is a seemingly sleepy Cumbrian village that, upon closer inspection, reveals a fantastic community spirit! Most locals flock to the pub - it's conveniently within walking distance, so you can enjoy a pint (or two!) without worrying about the journey home. If live music is more your jam, the reading rooms often host lively nights that are sure to entertain.

If you have young children, Beckermet Primary is a really good school (and Ofsted agree). Even better, you say goodbye to the school run - it's only a ten minute walk. Another minute down the road and you're at Beckermet Nursery, making for a stress-free drop off.

If you have older kids, you’re in the catchment for the modern West Lakes Academy in Egremont.

Like most small market towns, Egremont has everything you need day-to-day, with a range of local shops and an active local community. That said, Whitehaven is only 15 minutes in the car, where you’ll find all the bigger name stores, restaurants and takeaways.

Beckermet is also really handy if you work at the Sellafield site - you can be home after your shift in just over 5 minutes.

If you’re a keen walker or cyclist you’ve got plenty of choice, with the National Park only a ten minute ride away. If you prefer a bracing dip, Braystones Beach is only a few minutes in the car.

Fantastic family homes like this don’t come along too often - especially ones designed for full on family life and easygoing weekends.
