Hensingham Road, Whitehaven CA28

History In The Bones, Modern Living In The Heart. This stunning period home, meticulously updated, blends classic charm with contemporary touches, offering spacious living for a growing family (and perhaps a classic vw).

Step into a home where every detail has been considered, from the jaw-dropping tilework guiding you through the grand hallway to the sympathetic renovation that honours its past while embracing the present. This isn't just a house; it’s a lifestyle upgrade for those who appreciate character without sacrificing modern comfort and convenience.

Perfect for families seeking generous space, entertaining friends, or simply enjoying quiet moments in a beautifully curated environment. With five bedrooms, two reception rooms, and a garden designed for pure relaxation, you'll find plenty of room to spread out and make treasured memories.

The ground floor features two large reception rooms. One provides a pleasant outlook over the mature greenery out front through a generous bay window, perfect for a morning coffee and a quiet read. The other, equally spacious, offers lovely views of the garden – ideal for family gatherings or unwinding in the evenings.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully extended and flooded with natural light thanks to strategically placed skylights. It includes ample storage, with a large pantry cupboard and plenty of cabinetry in a gorgeous neutral colour, maintaining the home’s cohesive, elegant aesthetic. Tucked away off the kitchen, a utility room keeps the washer and dryer out of sight, complete with a convenient downstairs loo. You'll also find a handy cellar for extra storage.

Upstairs, the first floor hosts two huge bedrooms and a versatile single room, currently a delightful dressing room or 'boudoir' if you're feeling fancy. Venture to the second floor to discover two more smaller double bedrooms and a dedicated study, alongside even more storage – proof that this home has space for everything and everyone.

The main bathroom is a testament to the home's period elegance, featuring a free-standing roll-top bath and a walk-in shower, all in keeping with the property's tasteful design.

Outside, the garden is a true oasis, almost Mediterranean in feel. It offers a variety of inviting spots to sit and relax, complete with water features, a charming pergola, a greenhouse for those with green fingers, and a summer house. With both patio and grassed areas, and surrounded by mature foliage, it provides a private and peaceful retreat.

To the front, a driveway provides space for multiple cars, complementing a small, well-kept front garden. There’s also a substantial garage, currently home to a much-loved classic vw and a workshop, offering endless possibilities for hobbies or additional storage.

Location-wise, you’re never far from daily essentials. Whitehaven town centre with its charming harbour front is just a 5-minute drive away. For families, Hensingham Primary School is an 8-minute walk or a 2-minute drive, while St. Benedict's and Whitehaven Academy secondary schools are both less than 5 minutes by car.

This is more than just a house; it’s a grand home with a heart, where every corner tells a story (some even found between the floorboards from the early 1900s!). It’s ready for its next chapter, combining historical charm with seamless modern living.
