4 bed detached house for sale

Scaw Road, High Harrington, Workington CA14

Warning: Viewing This House May Cause Extreme Lifestyle Envy. If you’re looking for the biggest and best family home in High Harrington, you’ve just crossed the finish line. It’s got more space, more views and a lot more “Wow Moments” than most!

Once you’ve experienced La Sarthe for yourself, everything else is bound to feel a little bit underwhelming. This is where the bar gets set - bigger, brighter, better laid out - and turned up to eleven at every turn.

From the light-filled living spaces to the show-stopping views, it’s built to impress and designed to deliver.

Perched above open fields, with panoramic views stretching all the way to Scotland, this is family living at its most impressive. Every room has been carefully planned, with space to spread out, room to breathe and a natural, family-friendly flow.

The main lounge is vast and filled with light, with picture windows that frame the countryside views like works of art.

The superb kitchen diner is made for busy mornings and slow weekends, while the formal dining room is somewhere to bring everyone together for Big Memory Moments.

There’s a conservatory at the back overlooking the garden, plus a separate study, utility room and full downstairs shower room - ideal for flexible living, multi-generational households or future layout tweaks.

Upstairs, the mezzanine landing adds an airy, calm feel to the upper floor and four large double bedrooms continue the feeling of space. Three of them have their own ensuites.

The gorgeous main bathroom takes things up another notch, with a double spa bath that’s perfect for bubbles, bubbly…or both. The walk in shower also has room for two…

Then there’s the garage setup - made for petrolheads, makers or anyone who wants more than just somewhere to park the family 4x4.

It’s at this point the name starts to make perfect sense. You see, La Sarthe is named after the legendary French motorsport circuit - it was designed by the previous owners who have a passion for cars.

Not only is there a huge detached garage with full-height loft space and room for multiple vehicles, there’s a second integral double garage. Don't worry if you’re not a car nut - the integral garage is currently used as a gym and has the flexibility to convert or adapt into a variety of uses, including a granny flat.

Outside, the lifestyle upgrades just keep coming. There’s a full wraparound drive with two gated entrances and as you’d expect, generous parking.

The lawned garden has a choice of outdoor seating spots, with a built-in kitchen area for summer gatherings and even your own mini woodland with a looping path through the trees.

If you’re more green fingered than oily fingered there’s an area of the garden just for you, with a greenhouse and vegetable patches.

High Harington is handy for both Whitehaven and Workington, which can be reached in the car in less than ten minutes. It’s also a great starting point for exploring the National Park, with the north shore of Loweswater being only a 20 minute drive or a 60 minute bike ride away.

It’s a quiet village with only the village hall and the recently refurbished Galloping Horse pub, both of which are only a short walk away.

La Sarthe is something of a hidden gem - it’s very likely to be the biggest and best house in the village but most locals may never have seen it! It’s tucked away at the end of a private road that leads to a retirement home, so very few people will have cause to go down there.

This is the kind of impressive family home that rarely appears on the market.

If you’re looking for a forever family home which will turbo charge how you work, rest and play, La Sarthe might just be where you cross your finish line.

Call today to see it for yourself - but be warned - you may suffer extreme lifestyle envy if you do!
