3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Shakespeare Avenue, Egremont CA22

The Kitchen Could Be From A New Starter Home, But the Gardens Tell A Different Story. Both gardens are full of life, colour and years of care. And inside, the spacious kitchen is spotless, the shower room is smart and there’s nothing scary to fix.

This substantial and well maintained semi is ideal for first-time buyers who want more than just a new-build blank canvas.

It’s the garden that sets the tone - mature, lovingly planted and bursting with personality. It feels lived in, loved and full of the kind of care you just don’t get with a fresh square of turf.

And inside, the big-ticket updates have already been taken care of. The kitchen, bathroom, windows and heating system were all renewed around four years ago, so you can focus on making it feel like your own.

The light-filled lounge diner has a bay window at the front and patio doors at the back - filling the room with sun throughout the day.

The kitchen’s surprisingly large, with integrated appliances and a clean, modern finish that wouldn’t look out of place in a show home.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms and a good-sized single. The shower room is modern and practical - with no-fuss panelling and no awkward work needed before you move in.

But it’s outside where this home really comes into its own.

Unlike most modern starter homes, the gardens here are established and full of life.

The rear garden’s been planted over time - with space, colour and a genuine sense of care you can feel as soon as you step outside.

There’s even a greenhouse and an old shed (which could easily be removed to create access around the side of the house).

Parking’s sorted too - with a car park directly behind the property offering plenty of space.

It’s only a 5 minute walk down to the marketplace.

It’s also really handy if you work at the Sellafield site - it’s a short drive meaning you can be home after your shift in less than 15 minutes.

If you do have children, Egremont has some great schools within walking distance.

Both St Bridget's Catholic Primary School and Bookwell Primary (rated “Outstanding” by Ofsted) are less than a 10 minute walk away, or only 2 minutes in the car.

For older kids, the modern West Lakes Academy (rated “Good” by Ofsted) is on the other side of the town centre but still only around 20 minutes walk away.

Like most small market towns, Egremont has everything you need day-to-day, with a range of local shops and an active local community.

That said, Whitehaven is only 15 minutes in the car, where you’ll find all the bigger name stores, restaurants and takeaways.

With no forward chain, it’s a great opportunity to grab a first home that already feels loved. Just bring your colour charts, pick your paint and get ready to create something special.

I’m expecting plenty of interest so call now to arrange a viewing.
