The Bungalow That Forgot To Be Small. Most bungalows ask you to give something up. This one didn't get that message - two proper doubles, a large single, a garage, a plot that makes neighbours do a double-take, and a garden you can actually sit in.

Single-storey living with rooms this size doesn't come along often. Two proper doubles, a large single, three reception spaces and a plot that'll make you question what you've been settling for.

The main living room flows through an archway into the dining area, so the space works as one when you want it to and as two when you don't. The conservatory overlooks the rear garden and catches more sun than you'd expect for a north-facing plot. It's the kind of room that earns its place as an everyday space rather than a seasonal one.

The two main bedrooms are full-size doubles. The main bedroom to the rear of the property has its own en-suite bathroom and floor to ceiling sliding wardrobes running the full width of one wall - the kind of storage that makes unpacking feel less of a project. The second spacious bedroom is located to the front of the bungalow and is large enough to accommodate a double bed, two bedside tables, dressing table and wardrobes – so storge will never be an issue. The third bedroom is a well-proportioned large single, currently used as a dressing room with floor to ceiling sliding wardrobes, and works just as well returned to a bedroom.

The kitchen and bathrooms are dated and ready for someone to put their own stamp on them. The structure is sound, the proportions are right, and the work is cosmetic rather than structural. That's a meaningful distinction when you're budgeting.

Outside, the plot is the thing. The rear garden is lawned, private and enclosed by timber fencing, with a circular paved seating area that gets good afternoon sun. The block-paved driveway out front takes several cars without any shuffling around, and the garage adds practical storage or workshop space.

Stainburn sits a couple of miles east of Workington town centre. Five minutes in the car puts you at the supermarkets, shops and cafés. Workington Academy is around an eight-minute walk away at roughly 0.4 miles. Ashfield Junior School is a little further at around 0.6 miles, or a short drive. The nearest bus stops on Stainburn Road are about a three-minute walk, with regular services into Workington and onward connections towards Cockermouth, Keswick and Penrith. Workington railway station is around five minutes by car.

If you want single-storey living with rooms big enough to actually live in, a plot that gives you breathing room and space to make it your own over time, 140 Curwendale is the one that delivers all three.
