4 bed bungalow for sale

Caldbeck Drive, Stainburn, Workington CA14

Who Wants Some Toblerone? This fabulous family home certainly stands out thanks to the unique “twin peaks” design. It’s unique and stylish, with a versatile layout which includes a stunning double height hall, four double bedrooms and a huge lounge.

Back in 2014 this was a “normal” three bedroom detached bungalow with a garage/workshop at the side, remarkably similar to its neighbours on this quiet cul-de-sac.

But the current owners have transformed it into a much more versatile family home by adding a substantial first floor extension above the garage.

It already had two double bedrooms and a shower room on the first floor - above the kitchen and dining room.

But they’ve added a separate staircase from the hall - heading in the opposite direction - to reach a large double bedroom with a gorgeous four piece ensuite above the garage.

This versatile space will be perfect as a master bedroom suite, as a guest bedroom, a man-cave or a fully insulated and soundproofed(!) home within a home for older kids.

Doing this work has also made a huge difference to the hall - as light now floods the space from the Velux window above the new first floor landing.

In addition to the work to create the new bedroom the owners have thoroughly updated the property.

The decoration is stylish and tasteful throughout, with a spacious kitchen / diner and a luxurious shower room on the ground floor.

There’s also a double bedroom on the ground floor, making this an ideal family home if someone struggles with stairs.

And if you’re not a formal dining kind of family, the dining room (which is a similar size as the bedroom next door) could even become a 5th bedroom.

The large lounge measures over 24m2 (280ft2) so there’s plenty of room for a dining table along with space to relax. Bi fold doors open to the southeast facing back garden - which will get the sun throughout the day.

The garden has a lawn for the kids to play on, choice of paved or decking seating areas and a wooden shed. There’s a space for the bins around the side of the house and parking for several cars on the block paved drive at the front.

The property is practical too, with a handy utility room just off the kitchen and also plumbing for your washing machine and dryer in the garage / workshop.

There’s French doors at the back of the garage giving access from the garden so you may want to think about using it as a games room or a creative space rather than just somewhere to store all your stuff.

When making the improvements the owners also added solar panels, to keep your electricity bills down and with the potential to earn up to £500 a year from the Feed-In-Tariff.

If you are buying this as a family home, the Ashfield Schools (for younger kids) and Workington Academy are all less than a 5 minute drive away.

Stainburn village is popular with families as it gives you the best of both worlds. It's away from the hustle & bustle but still only a 5 minute drive to town when you do need to get to work or hit the shops.

This is a unique four bedroom property on a substantial corner plot.

It could be ideal if you’re looking for a modern and stylish family home with a versatile layout that includes a downstairs double bedroom and space to get creative in the large garage / workshop.

It’s already been updated and improved to such a superb standard there really is nothing left for you to do except move in and make yourselves at home.
