Semi-detached house for sale in Mason Street, Workington CA14

Look Beyond The Forgettable Front Of This Extended Semi And You’ll Find A Fabulous Family Home. It has a spacious and sociable ground floor, the new kitchen and bathroom are superb, there’s three double bedrooms and a gorgeous leafy back garden.

Some properties definitely have more kerb appeal than others. The outward appearance of this three bedroom semi blends in with the others, and you may not be expecting what is behind the front door.

But it would be such a shame to swipe left on this extended three bedroom semi based on outward appearances alone.

That’s because when you step inside you’ll find a surprisingly fabulous family home.

It’s both bigger and better than most three bedroom semis, with a recent side extension creating a versatile family friendly layout.

It has two large reception rooms but chances are everyone will rush to the back of the house as soon as they step in from the porch to the light & bright hall.

That’s because a substantial rear extension has allowed the creation of a superb social space at the rear. It will be equally ideal for family catch ups at the end of a busy day or throwing mega parties for friends and family!

The extension has also made room for a handy utility room and downstairs WC.

The modern shaker style fitted kitchen is a real highlight. It’s light, bright and super stylish with a gorgeous island unit, neff integrated appliances and quartz worktop.

The dining room is just off to the side of the kitchen, creating a seamless open plan social space.

Both the kitchen and dining room have glass doors which lead out to the landscaped and low maintenance garden, which is just as impressive as the inside.

It’s fully landscaped, with composite decking on multiple levels to make the most of the leafy location, backing onto the old railway line.

Upstairs, there’s three large double bedrooms and a fabulous family bathroom.

There’s no garage or drive but there is plenty of on-street parking.

As a family friendly property it’s important to know there’s a choice of good local schools nearby.

For younger children, the Victoria Infant & Junior Schools are around 10 minutes walk away and for older kids, St Joseph’s High School is even closer.

It’s only a 12 minute walk into town, so you won’t need to worry about parking or taxis if you’re heading in for work, shopping or socialising.

If you can look beyond the unremarkable exterior you won’t find a better example of how to transform a traditional semi into a thoroughly modern family home.

All it needs now is for the right family to move in and make themselves at home.

We're expecting plenty of interest, so call to arrange a viewing.

A note on Workington leasehold

Most of Workington Town Centre properties are leasehold, which dates back to when the Curwen family owned most of the land. They are on a peppercorn rent, usually between £1-£3, and were on a 999-year lease. Most will have around 840 and 860 years remaining. They are managed by Cumberland Council and are effectively treat as freehold. You don't need to ask for permission to make any alterations, other than if you needing planning permission. You can always buy the freehold, which is usually under £150 plus some additional legal costs. However, most people don’t as the ground rent is so low, and the remaining number of years will last a few lifetimes. Feel free to get in touch if you’d like more info.
