Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached house in Whitehaven offers approximately 115 square metres of accommodation, two reception rooms, an integral garage and an enclosed rear garden. The layout includes a front lounge and a separate dining room, with the listing identifying the connection between the dining room and compact kitchen as a possible route to a larger kitchen-diner, subject to checking the structure and any required approvals. Upstairs are three bedrooms, described as two doubles and a third room larger than a typical box room. The first floor also has a bathroom and separate WC. The garage is stated to measure 5.45 by 5.52 metres and has a roller shutter door, while the rear garden includes a paved patio and timber fencing. The front has a raised brick retaining wall and space for landscaping. The property is presented as requiring updating, giving a buyer scope to plan improvements over time. Corkickle station, Whitehaven town centre and nearby bus routes are described as accessible on foot. The listing also notes local schools and a drive of around 15 to 20 minutes to Sellafield. Viewing is available by arrangement through Mark Buchanan Property Group, powered by eXp UK.

Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £110,000, this is a notably affordable way into a sizeable three-bedroom semi: the asking price works out at £89/sqf, well below the local average of £165/sqf. The 1,237 sq ft layout, two reception rooms and integral garage give the project useful flexibility, while the dated finishes leave scope to refresh the house to your taste. The kitchen is ready for modernising, and the listing suggests a possible opening to the dining room for a more connected rear living space, subject to checking feasibility.

The work looks like a light, manageable project rather than a major rebuild: older carpets and decoration, some local making-good beside the kitchen, and an overgrown, mainly paved garden. The asking price plus the supplied renovation midpoint is £119,500; the engine’s local-average comparison suggests strong headroom, though that figure is not a renovated valuation or a guaranteed resale outcome.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the older decoration and flooring across the usable reception and bedroom spaces.
  • Modernise the dated kitchen, with the dining-room connection offering a possible route to a more open rear living area, subject to feasibility.
  • Tidy the enclosed paved garden and overgrown planting; the integral garage adds useful workshop, storage or utility potential.
