4 bed detached house for sale

The Avenue, Stainburn, Workington CA14

No Forward Chain

A Fabulous Modern Family Home On An Exclusive Small Estate. This luxurious four bedroom detached was built by award-winning John Swift Homes and offers the space, specification and sociable layout that make The Avenue such a sought-after place to live.

The nine impressive detached properties on The Avenue were built by award-winning Cumbrian builder John Swift Homes in 2016, creating a small and distinctive development that has become a particularly desirable place for families to call home.

It’s a street where people tend to put down roots, and homes here have changed hands relatively infrequently since they were first built.

So when one does become available, it’s always worth paying attention — particularly when it offers this much space, such a versatile layout and a location that combines village life with easy access to Workington.

The exterior styling may hark back to past times with Mock-Tudor timber and a large bay window, but both the layout and specification are thoroughly modern.

The ground floor is dominated by a large kitchen / diner / family room which runs the full length of the house from the bay window at the front to the bi-fold doors at the rear.

It’s a superb, versatile space — ideal for entertaining or just catching up with the family at the end of a busy day. After almost a decade as a family home, it feels established, comfortable and ready for its next chapter rather than simply being another new-build blank canvas.

The kitchen has a high-quality specification, with integrated appliances, gorgeous granite worktops and the must-have kitchen gadget for the 2020s — a Quooker tap.

There are bi-fold doors at the back of the relaxed seating area which lead to the low-maintenance west-facing back garden.

The garden has been landscaped to provide maximum enjoyment for minimum effort. Mature shrubs border the garden, which has an artificial turf lawn and a large patio seating area.

There are also bi-fold doors from the patio into the spacious lounge. There really is no shortage of reception space, with the lounge and another sitting room / study at the front offering options if you want to break away from all the socialising in the kitchen.

It’s a practical property too, with a handy utility room, downstairs WC and a built-in single garage that can be accessed directly from the utility.

There's underfloor heating running throughout the ground floor, with individual zones controlled by digital thermostats.

Upstairs are four double bedrooms and a stylish four-piece family bathroom, complete with a large walk-in shower and freestanding bath.

All four bedrooms are really generously sized doubles, with the master bedroom at the back enjoying views over the garden, along with a separate wardrobe area and ensuite shower room.

To the front, the low-maintenance approach continues with an artificial lawn alongside the driveway, which provides parking for a couple of cars, with further space available in the integral garage.

The Avenue is a quiet, exclusive cul-de-sac that’s only a short walk from the centre of the village. It isn’t a private road but it feels like one, as no-one but the families who live here have any real need to come into the street.

You’ll love preparing meals for the family in your impressive kitchen but, after a long day, it’s good to know you can pop to The Briery for a fantastic selection of home-cooked food.

Stainburn is a popular village that’s slightly removed from the hustle & bustle of the town centre and has a semi-rural feel.

But when you do need to get to work or hit the shops you can drive into town in less than five minutes, or walk it in around 20 minutes.

Located just a couple of miles east of the town centre, the school run will also be mercifully short.

If you have younger children, the Ashfield Schools are less than five minutes' drive away. Workington Academy, for older kids, is just a 15-minute walk or a four-minute bike ride down Stainburn Road.

If you like scenic strolls then you'll love being able to walk down to Hall Park in around five minutes. Once there, you can enjoy feeding the ducks, watching the nesting swans and cygnets or having a picnic on the riverbank.

There's also the opportunity to buy the property fully furnished, subject to additional negotiations.

This is a fantastic opportunity to move into one of the most exclusive streets in one of Workington’s most sought-after surrounding villages.

With its substantial living space, high specification and family-friendly setting, i’m expecting plenty of interest, so call to arrange a private viewing.
