3 bed bungalow for sale

Cross Lane, Whitehaven CA28

Could A Summerhouse Pay Your Mortgage? It’s already a beauty studio but it could be your barbershop, podcast den or pottery studio. Or perhaps just a fun garden bar. This big corner-plot bungalow’s full of options and luxurious upgrades, inside and out.

This is the kind of versatile, family friendly home that ticks plenty of boxes - and then sparks plenty of fresh ideas. Because when the layout works this well and the updates have already been done to such a high standard, you start to think differently about what’s possible. Whether it’s flexible working, entertaining in style or finally launching that dream side hustle - it all fits here.

It sits on a generous corner plot in the ever-popular Hillcrest area of Whitehaven, round the corner from Jericho Primary School, with the harbour and town centre shops just a short drive away.

Inside, everything’s been done to a superb standard - from the new double glazed windows to the log burner to the stylish Karndean flooring underfoot. The large open-plan lounge diner is flooded with light and with a wide view across the rooftops of Whitehaven, it’s a room that will leave a lasting impression.

The smart modern kitchen continues the theme: With black handless units, warm contrasting worktops, a Rangemaster oven with five-ring hob and smart metro tile splashback.

The breakfast bar’s ready for casual coffees or late-night chats and clever low-level lighting adds just the right mood. A door opens straight out to the side decking and pergola, perfect for carrying out lunch or evening drinks to enjoy outside.

The shower room feels more like a boutique hotel than a bungalow. Fully tiled, beautifully finished and fitted with a generous walk-in shower and his-and-hers basins.

All three bedrooms are a good size, with neutral tones and garden views. You could squeeze a double bed into the smallest room, although it probably works best as a single bedroom, home office or nursery.

Outside, it gets bigger and better. The driveway’s been redone to make the most of the corner plot and it comfortably fits four or five cars - or your caravan / camper.

The detached single garage has power, light and an electric door, while the wraparound rear garden brings tiered levels of lawn and decking so there’s something for everyone.

There’s a log store, room to potter and that versatile summerhouse. It’s currently set up as a beauty studio with power and lighting, it’s ready-made for a side hustle, creative space or just a chilled-out garden retreat.

This will make a fantastic family home and one reason for that is how close it is to Jericho Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted). It’s just a couple of streets away, with Whitehaven Academy also within easy reach for older kids.

You’re close enough to walk into Whitehaven town centre (or drive it in less than 10 mins), but there’s also a Spar just down the road for quick top-ups.

If you’ve been waiting for a bungalow that’s already been updated to a beautiful standard but is still full of untapped potential - this might be the one for you.
