About this property
2 Bedrooms
Living Room

Bathroom
Located in the heart of Whitehaven, this two-bedroom second-floor flat presents a fantastic opportunity for buyers seeking a character property with excellent potential. Set within a period building, the flat benefits from a central location, gated parking, and a long lease, making it ideal for investors, first-time buyers, or those looking to add value through renovation.
Accommodation
Living Room
The flat opens into a generously sized living room, with large sash-style windows that allow for an abundance of natural light. The space retains period charm and offers scope for modernisation to suit a range of interior styles.
Kitchen
Separate from the living area, the kitchen is compact yet functional, with sufficient space for appliances and storage. Refurbishment would provide an opportunity to create a modern and efficient cooking space tailored to personal taste.
Master Bedroom
The master bedroom is a well-proportioned double room with views over the town, offering a comfortable and quiet space for rest. With thoughtful renovation, it could be transformed into a spacious and stylish retreat.
Second Bedroom
The second bedroom is ideal as a guest room, office, or child's bedroom. Like the rest of the flat, it would benefit from cosmetic improvement, but offers good dimensions and natural light.
Bathroom
The bathroom is currently fitted with standard fixtures and presents an opportunity for a complete redesign, with space to incorporate modern fittings and finishes.
Leasehold & Charges
The property is held on a 999-year lease, offering long-term security for the next owner. The ground rent is £1,100 per year, which contributes to the upkeep and maintenance of communal areas and the gated parking facility.
External Features
The property benefits from access to a gated car park, providing secure off-street parking—an uncommon advantage in such a central location. The flat forms part of a character building, reflecting the historical charm of the surrounding architecture.
Location
Situated on Roper Street, the property enjoys a prime central position in Whitehaven, just a short walk from the harbour, local shops, restaurants, and public transport links. The location offers a vibrant mix of coastal living and town centre convenience, making it appealing for both residents and tenants alike.
Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the size and potential of this property.
Buyer Process: Our customers use British Homebuyers to either purchase or assist in selling properties quickly and reliably. Therefore any new applicants to purchase are subject to vetting to ensure they meet strict criteria.
Exclusivity Fee:
You can secure the purchase today by paying an exclusivity fee of £2,000 which gives you the rights to purchase within a given timeframe. The exclusivity fee is returned to you upon successful completion of the property.
A processing fee of £200 is required in order to draw up an exclusive legally binding contract between the buyer and seller. This gives the buyer exclusive rights to purchase within a pre-agreed timeframe.
Paying this fee ensures that the seller takes their property off the market and reserves it exclusively for you, therefore eliminating the risk of gazumping and aborted costs.
