5 bed detached house for sale

Meadowfield, Gosforth CA20

Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of the sought-after village of Gosforth, this substantial five-bedroom detached home offers generous accommodation, a large wraparound garden and plenty of opportunity to make it your own. Offered for sale with no forward chain, it is an excellent choice for a family seeking more space, with the flexibility to accommodate changing needs for years to come.

The setting is a particular attraction. Located within the Lake District National Park, Gosforth combines the charm of village life with convenient access to the spectacular scenery of the western Lakes. Wasdale, Wastwater and Eskdale are within easy reach, offering wonderful opportunities for everything from gentle countryside walks to more adventurous days on the fells. The long sandy beach at Seascale is less than ten minutes away by car, making an afternoon by the sea or an evening stroll along the shore an easy pleasure.

The village offers local amenities and places to eat, while the nearby A595 provides useful connections along the west coast. For families wanting countryside, coastline and a welcoming village setting, the location has much to offer.

Stepping inside, the welcoming hallway provides a spacious introduction to the home, with stairs leading to the first floor and a handy ground-floor WC. From here, the accommodation opens into a generous lounge and dining area, where large windows bring in plenty of natural light and frame a pleasant outlook to the front.

The lounge provides ample room for comfortable seating, making it a relaxing space for the whole family to gather. A broad archway connects it to the dining area, creating a sociable layout with distinct spaces for relaxing and eating. Whether hosting friends, enjoying a family celebration or sitting down to an everyday meal, there is plenty of room to bring everyone together.

Positioned across the rear of the house, the spacious kitchen is arranged over two connected areas, with an extensive range of cupboards and work surfaces. Wood cabinetry, glazed display cupboards and a breakfast bar provide useful storage and preparation space, while windows overlook the garden. Carefully maintained and perfectly serviceable, the kitchen also offers an exciting opportunity for buyers to introduce a more contemporary finish suited to their own tastes.

French doors open directly onto the substantial patio, creating an easy connection between the kitchen and garden. It is a convenient arrangement for outdoor meals, summer entertaining or simply stepping outside with a morning coffee. An internal door also provides direct access to the double garage, a practical feature when bringing shopping inside or accessing tools and household storage.

Upstairs, a bright landing connects the five bedrooms, giving the property the versatility that growing families often need. There is ample scope to accommodate children and visiting guests, while retaining space for a dedicated home office, dressing room or playroom. Several bedrooms benefit from fitted storage, and pleasant outlooks over the gardens and surrounding area add to the appeal.

A family bathroom and separate shower room serve the first floor, providing a useful arrangement for busy mornings and allowing members of the household their own space to get ready. The bathroom features a white suite comprising a bath, wash basin and WC, complemented by tiled splashbacks.

Outside, the large wraparound garden is a real highlight. Enjoying a sunny setting, it offers generous lawned areas for children to play, established planting and plenty of scope for those who enjoy gardening. Mature shrubs, hedges and trees bring colour and character, creating an attractive outdoor setting to enjoy throughout the seasons.

The substantial paved patio extends along the rear and one side of the house, providing ample space for outdoor furniture, a dining table and seating areas. With direct access from the kitchen and steps leading to the lawn, it is well suited to family life and entertaining.

Two brick-built outbuildings provide valuable additional space, with power and lighting installed in one. Whether used for garden equipment, hobbies or a workshop, they are useful additions to the property. A separate boiler room is accessed from the patio, while the integral double garage offers further substantial space for parking, storage or practical projects. A driveway to the front provides additional off-road parking.

Combining five bedrooms, generous living accommodation and an extensive garden, this is a home with plenty to offer a family looking for their next move. Its quiet cul-de-sac position, desirable village location and proximity to both the western Lakes and the coast make it particularly appealing. With no forward chain and the opportunity to update the property at your own pace, it is ready for new owners to make it their own. Contact First Choice Move to arrange a viewing.
