4 bed detached house for sale

Barepot, Workington CA14

Occupying a superb position beside the river and surrounded by beautiful open countryside, this substantial four-bedroom detached home offers a wonderful combination of space, individuality and tranquillity. Despite its picturesque semi-rural setting, the property is remarkably convenient, with the town centre approximately a 15-minute walk or just a 3-minute drive away, offering the best of both worlds for those who want countryside surroundings without feeling isolated.

Individually designed and built by the previous owner, this is certainly not your typical modern home. The attractive sandstone frontage gives the property plenty of character, while the generous proportions and thoughtfully planned accommodation make it an excellent choice for families or anyone simply looking for more space.

Step inside and the impressive proportions quickly become apparent, with the accommodation extending to approximately 1,839 sq ft and offering particularly generous living areas on the ground floor. Another major advantage is underfloor heating throughout the property, providing comfortable and even warmth while also allowing the rooms to remain free from conventional radiators.

One of the highlights is the substantial lounge and dining room, a wonderfully versatile space providing ample room for both comfortable seating and a full-size dining table. At its heart is a striking stone fireplace housing a multifuel stove, creating an attractive focal point and a cosy atmosphere during the colder months. Large windows allow plenty of natural light to enter the room, while the generous proportions make this a fantastic space for spending time with family or entertaining friends.

The impressive kitchen/diner provides a second substantial social space and is very much another highlight of the home. Beautifully fitted with an extensive range of oak-fronted cabinetry, contrasting granite work surfaces and integrated appliances, the kitchen also incorporates a large peninsula providing additional preparation and storage space. There is plenty of room for a dining table, while French doors provide direct access outside, making this a particularly appealing space for entertaining during the warmer months.

Practicality has also been carefully considered. A separate utility room provides useful additional storage and laundry facilities, while a convenient ground-floor WC is ideal for family life and visiting guests. The integral garage provides further valuable parking and storage.

Connecting the two floors is an attractive central oak staircase, which adds further character to the property and rises towards a large window allowing natural light to flood the area. The oak internal doors found throughout the home complement the staircase beautifully and reinforce the quality and individual feel of the property.

To the first floor are four bedrooms, offering excellent flexibility for a growing family, visiting guests or anyone requiring a dedicated home office.

The principal bedroom is particularly impressive and enjoys a wonderful sense of space and character thanks to its vaulted ceiling and exposed timber beam. A large window takes full advantage of the attractive outlook towards the surrounding countryside, while the bedroom also benefits from a generously proportioned private en-suite with a large shower and twin wash basins.

Three additional bedrooms provide plenty of flexibility, with the accommodation equally capable of meeting the needs of a family or those who work from home. The family bathroom is another generously proportioned room and features a large corner bath, providing the perfect place to relax at the end of the day.

Outside, the property continues to impress. To the front, an extensive block-paved driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to the integral garage, while an attractive lawn and traditional stone boundary walls enhance the approach to the home.

To the side and rear, extensive block paving creates a particularly substantial yet low-maintenance outside space. There is ample room for outdoor furniture, barbecues and entertaining, with the patio wrapping around the property and benefiting from the attractive stone walls which provide plenty of character. A large timber workshop offers excellent additional storage.

Perhaps one of the property's greatest attractions, however, is its setting. The nearby river, open fields, mature trees and surrounding countryside create a beautiful backdrop and a genuine sense of semi-rural living. The aerial views really demonstrate just how attractive the position is, with picturesque walks and countryside virtually on the doorstep.

What makes the location even more appealing is its convenience. Despite enjoying such peaceful surroundings, the town centre is approximately a 15-minute walk or just a 3-minute drive away, making this an excellent choice for buyers who want to enjoy countryside living while remaining close to shops, services and everyday amenities.

With approximately 1,839 sq ft of accommodation, four bedrooms, two substantial living and dining spaces, underfloor heating throughout, an en-suite, integral garage, extensive parking and a picturesque riverside setting, this is an individual family home with a great deal to offer.

Properties combining this amount of space with such an attractive setting and convenient access to the town centre are rarely available. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate both the accommodation and the wonderful surroundings.
