Farmlands, Whitehaven, CA28 9UB

Room To Breathe, Room To Grow, And Extensive Outdoor Potential. On the edge of Whitehaven, life slows down the moment you turn off the road.

This is where big family life finally has the space it needs. Most families looking for this kind of space end up choosing between two versions of it.

There's the property with the land, miles from anywhere, where the school run becomes a daily expedition.

And there's the town house with a decent garden, where the idea of keeping animals stays an idea. Farmlands is neither of those. The town is closer than you'd think.

Whitehaven centre is walkable - around 10 minutes on foot - and the picturesque seaside village of St Bees is roughly a 10-minute drive along the coast.

St Benedict's Catholic High School, St James' CofE Junior School and St Mary's Catholic Primary School are all nearby. Sellafield is a 15-minute drive - useful if that's where work takes you.

You're not giving up convenience. You're just adding space. At just over 2,800 square feet, there's room for a family that has genuinely outgrown its current house.

Three reception rooms across the ground floor mean that different people can be doing different things at the same time without getting in each other's way.

The kitchen-diner runs to over eight metres - enough to cook, eat and do homework all at once without anyone feeling crowded.

A separate utility room handles the boots, the wet dogs and the general mess of a family that actually uses its garden.

The four bedrooms upstairs are all proper doubles, with the main bedroom taking its own en-suite. The family bathroom serves the rest.

It works for a family that needs everyone to have their own space and doesn't want to negotiate bathroom time every morning.

The detached stables present an exceptional canvas for adaptation, offering rare flexibility to suit your lifestyle vision - whether you envisage a vibrant home office, a dedicated fitness studio, a workshop, or separate accommodation for a lucky teenager or independent in-laws!

These versatile structures easily lend themselves to a complete change of purpose.

Tucked neatly within the grounds, this substantial outdoor footprint provides a seamless transition from traditional outbuilding to whatever bespoke living, working, or leisure space your needs demand.

A double garage connects through to the utility room, which makes it genuinely useful rather than just somewhere to put the car.

The driveway in front takes six or more vehicles without difficulty - handy for a house this size.

The rear decked terrace catches the afternoon sun and leads out to a mature garden that's properly screened on all sides by established trees. It's private in the way that town gardens rarely are.

For a family that needs to be close to Whitehaven but has wanted more than Whitehaven can usually offer, this is the version of that life that actually exists - with the infrastructure already in place to use it properly from day one.

Properties with this combination of space, location and equestrian setup come up very rarely in this part of Cumbria. Get in touch to arrange a viewing.
