House For Sale £80,000
First Time Buyers Will Love This Affordable & Move-In Ready Mid-Terrace. With a bigger kitchen than most and an upstairs bathroom this is not your average close-to-town-terrace.
If you’ve seen plenty of two bedroom terraces and think they’re all the same, you’ll get a pleasant surprise when you step into the hall.
It’s got two separate reception rooms for a start. A dining room at the front and a lounge in the middle. Everyone else seems to have knocked through these days.
The fitted kitchen is at the back - with noticeably more room than the typical narrow galley kitchen you find in most terraces.
That’s because there’s no downstairs bathroom. The space that would normally be taken by the bathroom makes for a bigger kitchen.
You can get from the kitchen to the north facing back yard.
It gets the sun in the morning and again in the evening, so it’s great for sitting out with a morning coffee or a glass of something chilled after work.
Upstairs has two double bedrooms and the family bathroom, which has a shower over the bath.
Cumberland Street is less than ten minutes walk into town. It’s so handy for work, shopping or socialising. And if you do have a car there’s plenty of on street parking.
Starting a family may not be top of your list right now but the upstairs bathroom does make this property more suitable for younger children. Families with young kids know what a big difference an upstairs bathroom makes when bath time turns to bedtime.
With that in mind, Victoria Junior School (rated “Good” by Ofsted) is only a street away.
It may be a long time until you need to think about it…but it’s still worth knowing St Joseph’s High School is less than 10 minutes walk away, and Workington Academy a little further.
If you’re looking for an affordable first home that won’t need any work, then you should check out 29 Cumberland Street.

A note on leasehold
Most of Workington Town Centre properties are leasehold, which dates back to when the Curwen family owned most of the land. They are on a peppercorn rent, usually between £1-£3, and were on a 999-year lease. Most will have around 840 and 860 years remaining. They are managed by Allerdale Borough Council and are effectively treat as freehold. You can always buy the freehold, which is usually under £150 plus some additional legal costs. However, most people don’t as the ground rent is so low, and the remaining number of years will last a few lifetimes. Feel free to get in touch if you’d like more info.
About Mark Buchanan – Powered by eXp
i'm Mark Buchanan, husband to Julie and dad to our three boys, Jack, Bailey and Morgan. Born and raised in Workington, I have worked in property since 2012 I have developed a true passion for all things property and love helping people to both buy and sell their homes. Together with Julie and Jack, we offer a family run business with two main aims: To provide brilliant marketing and a fantastic service. The 100+ 5-star reviews that we’ve received so far are testament to that. By concentrating on the things that matter, we help our customers to get the very best price for their property. Our goal isn’t to be the biggest agent, but the best. Focusing on quality rather than quantity, sellers are no longer just another number. We don’t operate within the usual office hours of 9-5, and our personal service means that you don’t have the hassle of dealing with multiple people in an office. Julie and I are on hand both night and day, 7 days a week, right up until we hand the keys over. We'll work together to create a bespoke service that's as unique as your property.
