You Won’t Want To Alter The Sea View Location, But Everything Else Is Ready For You To Make It Your Own. This substantial, well built bay fronted semi needs updating but you’ll be buying it for the potential…and the open outlook with lovely sea views.
If you’re willing to roll your sleeves up, this substantial three bedroom semi could be the perfect blank canvas to create your dream family home.
It does need updating - but most rooms could be transformed with a lick of paint and new flooring. It’s only the kitchen and bathroom that would benefit from a more substantial update to transform this into a stylish and modern family home.
It has the usual bay fronted lounge and dining room which have been opened up to create a larger, more sociable space.
The dining room has French doors which let in plenty of light and give access to the conservatory at the rear.
The galley kitchen isn’t huge but as this is definitely one room you would eventually want to update it shouldn’t be too expensive to modernise.
There’s a handy utility room at the rear.
Upstairs has two large double bedrooms and a large single bedroom, along with a bathroom and a separate WC.
The views from the front bedroom - looking down Eldred Road across the sea and towards the Scottish coastline will make it the pick of the bunch.
The southeast facing garden has a lawn for the kids to play on and a paved seating area for the grown-ups.
There’s a separate single garage and a block paved drive. With parking for a couple of cars on the drive you may not need to use the garage for storing the cars (no-one does these days…) so it does give you options.
The simplest (and cheapest) way to update it would be to decorate and change the flooring, then update the kitchen and bathroom when funds allow.
But if you had more ambitious plans (and the budget to match) there’s so much more you could do.
Even without thinking of an extension, you could knock a few walls down to make a big difference. The kitchen could be opened up to the utility or dining room. The bathroom and WC could be combined to create a larger and more luxurious space.
And if you did want to go all-in and extend there’s room to do so at the rear or the side (subject to planning permission, of course).
If you do need to head into town you can walk it in around 20 minutes or there’s a choice of frequent buses, with a bus stop only a short walk away.
You don’t even need to head into town for your day-to-day essentials. Mr Nimbles convenience store is round the corner on Hawkshead Avenue and nearby Moorclose has its own shopping centre, with a post office, an off-licence, a chippy and a Spar - all just 2 a minute drive away.
If you have younger children there’s a choice of primary schools nearby. The “Outstanding” Ashfield Infant & Nursery School is the closest - it's just 5 minutes walk away.
Older kids will have a slightly longer journey to St Joseph’s High School or Workington Academy - but both are still under 20 minutes walk away.
This substantial semi does need work but if you go into it with your eyes wide open it could be transformed into something that would stand you in good stead for years to come. You could take your time and turn it into a spacious and versatile home in a popular part of town, with lovely sea views.
I’m expecting plenty of interest from families willing to take it on - call us to arrange a viewing.
