4 bed semi-detached house for sale

The Gavels, Great Clifton, Workington CA14

Four Bedrooms, A Garden Ready To Use, And A Price That Still Leaves Room In The Budget. Most families searching at this price end up talking themselves into something smaller than they actually need. This one gives you the space, the layout and the location - without the usual trade-offs.

The current owners have extended and upgraded the property so that a family moving in today would not need to spend a single weekend on a project. There are two reception rooms, and they work differently from one another - which is exactly the point.

The main lounge is the smaller, cosier of the two - warm and comfortable, with laminate flooring and recessed lighting. It is the kind of room you sink into on an evening. The second reception room is the larger of the two, with enough space for a big sofa and a full dining table, meaning it can serve as both a social space and a proper place to eat. The practical upside is that both rooms can be running at the same time without anyone having to compromise - the football in one, the soaps in the other, and no arguments about the remote.

The kitchen runs along the back of the house with cream gloss units, dark worktops and a herringbone vinyl floor that ties it all together. There is a breakfast bar with seating, which takes the pressure off the dining room for weekday breakfasts and quick lunches.

A separate utility keeps the washing machine and the noise that goes with it out of the main living space. The integral store - accessed via a garage-style door - adds the kind of practical storage that most families run out of very quickly.

There is also a dedicated study, which makes working from home a realistic option rather than a kitchen table arrangement.

Upstairs, three of the four bedrooms are doubles, with the single completing a layout that gives a growing family real flexibility, whether as a guest room, a nursery, or a room that grows with a child over time. The main bedroom has its own dressing room and a private ensuite shower room, which at this price point is genuinely unusual. A modern shower room serves the rest of the house.

The rear garden has been set up to be used rather than maintained. There is a decked seating area with space for outdoor furniture and a patio heater, making it a comfortable place to sit well into the evening in the warmer months. Artificial turf keeps the upkeep low, and the whole space is enclosed by tall timber fencing for privacy. At the front, there is a large lawned area - one of the bigger front gardens on the street - with space for children to play and parking for three to four cars on the drive.

The location is quiet in a way that is hard to find. This area of The Gavels is a short row of just four houses that is tucked away, which means almost no passing traffic - a genuine advantage for families with young children. Derwent Vale Primary School is a five minute walk from the front door. The Ginn House, a local pub with a solid food reputation, is about five minutes in the other direction - useful on the evenings when cooking is not on the agenda. Workington town centre is under ten minutes by car, and both Cockermouth and Whitehaven are around fifteen minutes away, keeping the property well connected to everything the area offers.

If you have been searching at this price and finding that four bedrooms usually means giving something up elsewhere, this one is worth looking at properly.
