Broadacres, High Harrington, Workington, CA14 5RN

The Garden They've Been Promising The Kids For Years. Not next year, not when you find something bigger - this year, with room for the goalposts and the trampoline and still space left over. And fell views behind so the kids grow up looking at open fields and blue sky, not a neighbour's fence.

Many families looking for a long term home end up settling for the smaller garden, telling themselves the kids will manage. Then they spend the next three years watching a space that felt fine at viewing reveal itself to be too small for what family life actually needs.

The back garden at 63 Broadacres is considered to be the biggest on the estate. There’s room for goal posts at one end and a trampoline at the other, and still enough left over for a proper BBQ setup on a Saturday afternoon. The fell views and open fields directly behind mean the children grow up looking at green rather than a neighbour's extension. On a clear evening you can see all the way out to the coast.  And with no building able to happen in the fields, you can be safe in the knowledge that your view won't change.

The bungalow itself has been cared for properly, and it shows in the best way. The layout is exactly what a growing family needs. A wide entrance hallway sets the tone from the moment you walk in. 

The open-plan living and dining room gives you real flexibility about how you use the space day to day. 

The kitchen diner is a good size, and the conservatory at the back adds a room that earns its keep across every season, working equally well for morning coffee in spring, an evening outside without the midges in summer, and the extra space everyone needs when the family descends at Christmas. With two large radiators, it works in all weather.

Three bedrooms means the layout works for a couple with children, and the modern shower room is already done. 

The interior is in need of a little freshening up in places - but the layout, the proportions and the plot are exactly right. 

There’s a detached garage at the back, with a mechanic’s inspection pit. For many buyers that’s not really going to make a lot of difference but for others it will be as much of a selling point as the big back garden!

High Harrington is a proper village with a real community feel. Beckstone Primary in Harrington is about a six-minute drive for families with younger children and is highly regarded locally. There's also a path so it's easily walkable too.

Workington town centre is less than ten minutes in the car when you need it. The Spar and Starbucks at Lillyhall are five minutes down the A595 for a quick top-up or a decent coffee. And if you want a complete change of pace, you can be on the shores of Loweswater in under 25 minutes heading east into the National Park.

If you’ve been looking for a family home where the garden actually delivers enough space for the trampoline, the goal posts and a Sunday barbecue all at once, this is well worth a look.
