Semi-detached house for sale in Park Lane, Workington CA14

If You Miss This Rare Park Lane Semi It May Be 2040 Before You Get Another Chance! The last Park Lane semi sold back in 2007 and it’s easy to see why people stay. It’s opposite the park, has a spacious versatile layout and is only a short walk to town.

There are only half a dozen 1930’s semis on Park Lane, the rest of the street is made up of smaller terraced homes.

So they’re something of a rare find and this one is even more so, thanks to the way it’s been sympathetically updated to remain true to the original period style.

The ground floor has a spacious bay-fronted living room which ticks all the period property boxes; with a gorgeous original fireplace and marble surround, an ornate decorative ceiling rose and traditional cornices and picture rails.

The kitchen / diner at the rear has bespoke shaker style fitted units which give the room a welcoming days-gone-by charm. It has a central island which will be perfect for catching up at the end of a busy day or a quick bite and a separate dining room (with French doors to the garden) at the side.

The low maintenance courtyard style garden is a great place to sit out and enjoy the sun and there’s also access to the detached single garage which has light and power.

A small side extension has created space for a rear porch that looks out to the garden and a handy utility room and a downstairs shower room.

The first floor has three double bedrooms (no box room or small single) and a classically refined bathroom with a roll top bath and a beautiful stained glass window.

The loft has been converted into another spacious room on the top floor that has previously been used as a gaming room but it’s a versatile space that could also make a great office or studio.

Park Lane is less than ten minutes walk into town. It’s so handy for work, shopping or socialising.

And if you do have a car there’s plenty of on street parking in addition to the single garage round the back.

Whether your kids are old enough to play in the park by themselves or you go with them, you’ll all love having the large green space on your doorstep.

Victoria Junior School (rated “Good” by Ofsted) is only a few streets away. For older kids, St Joseph's Catholic High School is less than 10 minutes walk.

If you’re looking for a spacious and versatile family home in a unique, rarely-comes-onto-the-market location you can’t afford to miss out on seeing it for yourself.

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 are needing planning permission (as with any property). 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.
