House For Sale £80,000
An Affordable Alternative To A Town Centre Terrace. You’ll pay around the same as a town centre terrace but get so much more. It has front and back gardens, off street parking and is only a short drive from Workington or Whitehaven.
If you’re prepared to live a short drive from the centre of Workington or Whitehaven you’d be amazed how much more you can get for your money. You get proper outside space like a back garden and off-street parking for a start.
This substantial ex-council semi has been well looked after but it does need updating.
Downstairs has a lounge at the front, the kitchen at the rear and even a downstairs w/c.
You’ll want to budget for redecoration and flooring. It’s likely you’ll want to replace the kitchen with something stylish and modern but it could wait until the budget allows.
The kitchen looks out onto the pleasant back garden, which has a paved seating area, a wooden shed and landscaped beds at the back.
Upstairs has two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and the shower room. Like the kitchen, this room could be turned into something really special and luxurious.
If you have young children or are thinking of starting a family, there’s a play park opposite. This also means the property doesn’t have any houses directly on the other side of the street, giving it a nice feeling of space and light.
The Distington village location gives you the best of both worlds.
It feels semi-rural but you’re just off the A595 meaning you can drive to Workington or Whitehaven in less than 15 minutes
Distington has everything you’ll need day-to-day, with a McColl’s convenience store, sandwich shop, a chippy and doctors surgery. There’s even a Burger King and a Starbucks at the A595 roundabout.
If you have younger children or are thinking of starting a family, Distington Community School is rated Good by Ofsted and is literally a 1 minute walk away.
Older kids will have to decide whether to go to Whitehaven or Workington for a choice of secondary schools but there are frequent buses heading in both directions.
And if you like getting out into the countryside, the village is surrounded by open fields to explore. Ennerdale Water is only 25 minutes drive (or a 10 mile bike ride) away.
If you’re looking for a property where you can move in and make it your own, this could be your perfect project.
And if the last couple of years has taught you to value outside space, there’s a just-right sized garden to enjoy.

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.
