5 bed detached house for sale

Oakbank Avenue, Whitehaven CA28

Could This Be Your Own Private Wimbledon… Or The Site Of Your Next Build?
A superb hidden gem set in around 2.5 acres of private grounds, offering a substantial five-bedroom family home plus a tennis court with outline planning permission for an additional dwelling.

Opportunities like this rarely come along — a beautiful family home that already delivers on space and privacy, with the added bonus of a future building plot if you choose to unlock it.

Do you keep the tennis court and perfect your serve?
Or explore the potential and create something entirely new?

Either way, Oaklea offers far more than just a house.

A Home Designed For Family Life
Oaklea has been designed for families who want space to live properly.

Downstairs is all about gathering together — whether it’s hosting Sunday lunch in the gorgeous quartz-topped kitchen/diner, relaxing in the cosy snug for a film night, or enjoying a quiet morning coffee in the huge L-shaped conservatory overlooking the gardens.

It’s a home where birthday parties stretch long into the evening and family Friday nights naturally become late nights.

Five Proper Double Bedrooms
Upstairs you’ll find five genuine double bedrooms, including a spacious main bedroom with en-suite.

The family bathroom is a real standout with a freestanding bath, separate shower and twin sinks — ideal for busy mornings when everyone is trying to get out the door at once.

Flexible Space To Suit Your Lifestyle
The double garage, complete with power, water and electric doors, offers plenty of flexibility.

It could remain exactly as it is — perfect for cars, bikes, gym equipment or hobbies — or subject to the relevant permissions, it could potentially be converted into an annexe or independent space for teenagers or extended family.

Grounds That Are Rare This Close To Town
The grounds extend to approximately 2.5 acres, with a sweeping driveway, mature woodland and beautifully maintained gardens that wrap around the home.

There are multiple seating areas, wide open lawns and the kind of privacy most people only dream of.

And then there’s the tennis court.

Currently a fantastic lifestyle feature — but also a rare opportunity, as outline planning permission is already in place for an additional property.

For some buyers it will remain the perfect spot for summer matches.
For others, it could represent a valuable future development opportunity.

Private Setting, Yet Walkable To Town
Despite the sense of space and privacy, Oaklea sits just off a quiet no-through road and less than a 20-minute walk from town.

For families, Bransty Primary School is under 10 minutes on foot, while St Benedict’s Catholic High School (Ofsted “Good”) is just a 4-minute drive.

A Much-Loved Home
Oaklea has been cherished by its current owners for over 25 years and it shows in all the right ways.

The property is beautifully maintained, thoughtfully laid out and instantly welcoming — the kind of home where you can immediately imagine family life unfolding.

A Rare Combination
It’s not often you find:

A substantial five-bedroom family home
Around 2.5 acres of private grounds
A tennis court
Outline planning permission for an additional dwelling
All within walking distance of town
That combination makes Oaklea something truly special.

If you’re looking for a standout family home with space, privacy and future potential, this is one you’ll want to see.
