Distington, Workington, CA14

Set within a small and private setting shared with just three other distinguished homes, this magnificent seven/eight bedroom Georgian residence is rich in history and filled with original character. Offered to the market with no onward chain, this is a rare opportunity to purchase a much loved family home with generous proportions, beautiful gardens, and endless potential to personalise and update to suit modern living.

The approach is particularly striking, a long sweeping driveway leads up from the road and creates a real sense of privacy, while still enjoying the reassuring feel of neighbours nearby. The location combines peaceful surroundings with excellent convenience for Cockermouth, Workington and Whitehaven, with good access to local schools, amenities and major employment centres along the west Cumbrian coast.

Internally, the property showcases all the hallmarks of classic Georgian architecture; generous proportions, elegant symmetry, high ceilings and large windows that fill the rooms with natural light. A welcoming entrance vestibule opens into a spacious central hallway, large enough to serve as an additional reception space, and featuring a graceful spiral staircase rising to the upper floors. The ground floor accommodation includes a formal lounge with tall glazed doors opening onto the gardens, a large dining kitchen, and an extended utility area housing the boiler, a shower room, and access to two sizeable cellar rooms offering excellent storage or future potential. To the first floor, there are three substantial double bedrooms and a family bathroom, all well proportioned and full of period charm. The second floor provides four further bedrooms, with one accessed through another, offering flexibility to create a dressing room, ensuite, or additional bedroom as required.

Externally, the property sits within over an acre of established grounds, including tiered lawns, seating areas, and space for hobbies or further landscaping. To the front, there is ample private driveway parking, a garage, and a selection of timber outbuildings, ideal for storage or workshop use.

While technically a mid-terraced residence, the expansive setting and long approach give the property a distinct sense of privacy and presence, more akin to a mews style home in feel. A home of real architectural interest and potential, offered with no onward chain. Perfectly suited to a growing family or those seeking space, style, and the opportunity to create something truly special.
