Kingswood, Hensingham Road, Whitehaven, CA28

A handsome detached Victorian home, thoughtfully refurbished to bring together generous, flexible living space and a wealth of period character. Original features include patterned tiled floors, stained glass windows, original floorboards, stripped wood doors, cast-iron radiators, cornicing and picture rails, complemented by contemporary fittings throughout.

The original front door opens into a tiled porch and welcoming hallway, where stained glass lends colour and light. A cosy front snug features a multi-fuel stove and stripped wood flooring. Across the hall, two reception rooms have been opened into an impressive double reception space, with a stove at one end and plenty of room for both relaxing and entertaining.

At the heart of the home, the spacious kitchen/breakfast room, which is fitted with contemporary units, wooden work surfaces, a dual-fuel range cooker and integrated appliances. Underfloor heating adds comfort, while French doors open directly onto the terrace. A ground-floor WC and a further garden entrance complete this floor.

Upstairs, the landing is brightened by a striking stained glass window on the half-landing. The principal bedroom has stripped wood flooring and an en-suite shower room. Three further double bedrooms and a single bedroom—ideal as a nursery or study—provide flexible accommodation. The family bathroom is a standout feature, with an original ball-and-claw-foot roll-top bath, walk-in shower with rainfall head and traditional detailing. A separate WC completes the first floor.

Outside, a partly covered parking area provides space for two cars. Steps lead to a decked seating area by the front door and a lawned front garden. A side gate and paved path lead through to the generous, secluded rear garden, where a large decked terrace steps up to a further lawn, planted borders and a flagstone terrace with stone seating. Stone boundary walls add to the garden’s sense of privacy.
