The Family Home Ashfield Actually Delivers On. The kids can walk to school on their own. The garden catches the sun all afternoon.

And there's a second lounge for when everyone needs a bit of space from everyone else.

Ashfield is one of those areas where families put down roots and stay put - and once you've walked the streets on a Saturday morning, you'll understand why.

The house itself has been extended to give you considerably more space than the typical semi in this part of Workington.

On the ground floor, the main living room and dining room connect through a feature arch opening - so the space feels open and sociable, but the two areas still have their own identity.

The Karndean flooring runs through both rooms and ties everything together nicely. Then there's the separate sitting room at the front. This is the room that quietly makes family life work.

One person watches the football, someone else has the soaps on, the kids claim it as their own - whatever you need it to be, it's there.

Honestly, once you've had a second lounge, going back is not an option.

The kitchen has been fitted with high-gloss handleless units, walnut-effect worktops and an integrated gas hob with double gas oven.

Under-cabinet lighting gives the whole thing a warm feel in the evenings, and there's plenty of storage if your cupboards are currently doing that thing where something falls out every time you open them.

Upstairs, all three bedrooms are doubles - and that includes the smallest, which is an actual small double rather than the box room you'd usually find at this price point in Workington.

That might sound like a small detail, but if you've got kids who are starting to notice bedroom sizes relative to each other, it matters. Outside, the plot is a good one.

There's a block-paved driveway with space for several cars, plus a garage.

The rear garden catches the afternoon sun and stays fairly private - low maintenance enough that you can actually enjoy it rather than spend every weekend maintaining it.

For the schools run, Ashfield Infants and Juniors are under ten minutes on foot.

Workington Academy and St Joseph's High School are around twenty minutes - walkable for older kids who'd rather not be dropped off anyway.

Mansion Gardens play area is just around the corner, which is the kind of thing that sounds like a minor bonus until you realise how often you'll actually use it.

For everything else, town is a 25-minute walk away when you fancy it - or a very short drive when you don't.

If you've been looking for a proper family home in Ashfield with the space to actually spread out - and the schools to back it up - this one is well worth a look.

Arrange a viewing today - we're expecting plenty of interest.
