3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Wastwater Avenue, Workington CA14

Move In On A Friday. Feel At Home By Saturday. Not every first home makes you feel like you've arrived - this one does, from the moment you walk through the door. Everything is already done, already right, already yours to enjoy.

Most first homes ask you to live with something. The kitchen that needs replacing eventually. The bathroom in the wrong place. The bedroom that works better as a large cupboard than a room. This one has already sorted all of that out for you.

The living room sets the tone from the moment you walk in. A electric stove effect fire sits in a brick fireplace with a solid oak mantel above it, and wood-effect laminate flooring runs through underfoot. Built-in shelving flanks the chimney breast on both sides. An internal glazed door connects through to the kitchen, so the whole ground floor feels open and easy to move around in.

The kitchen has had a full refit and it shows. Shaker-style cabinets in off-white with butcher block worktops give it a warm, modern-rustic feel that works just as well for a Tuesday evening as a Friday night with friends. A double integrated oven, a separate combination microwave, an induction hob and a breakfast bar with seating for two are all already in place. Rustic floating shelves and a metro tile splashback add some character, and recessed downlighting makes the whole space feel settled and finished rather than bright and clinical. A rear door leads straight out to the garden. The washer and dryer live behind a dedicated cupboard door, keeping the kitchen looking like a kitchen rather than a utility room.

The bathroom being on the ground floor is one of this house's better ideas. It frees up the entire first floor for bedrooms, which means all three rooms upstairs are actual bedrooms with real proportions rather than one of them being squeezed around a door. The bathroom itself has been refitted with a bath, a rainfall overhead shower with a glazed screen, a chrome heated towel rail and marble-effect wall panels. It's clean, practical and done.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is a comfortable double with a full-width mirrored sliding wardrobe and good natural light from two windows. An en-suite WC has been added off this room, which is a small thing that makes a meaningful difference at 2am. The second bedroom is another double with a garden outlook and a pleasant aspect. The third bedroom is a single with a sash-style window looking out over the garden - carpeted, tidy and perfectly usable as a bedroom or a home office.

Outside, the driveway at the front takes a car off the street. The rear garden is larger than you might expect - a seating area under a pergola leads onto a lawn, and it catches enough afternoon light to be worth using. If you'd rather not drive, the bus stop is right at the end of the road on Harrington Road, and the Spar around the corner covers the day-to-day essentials without needing to go further. Victoria Infant and Junior Schools are both under a ten minute walk, and the town centre is reachable in under twenty minutes on foot.

If you've been searching for a first home that you can actually move into rather than spend the first year working on, this one does what it says. The space is there, the finish is there, and the garden is ready for a summer evening the moment you move in.
