Seaton, Workington, CA14 1LW

Escape To The Country – Without Leaving Town Behind. This gorgeous semi-rural barn conversion gives your family the best of both worlds. You can walk into town but it has idyllic countryside views and combines rustic charm with fabulous modern features.

This spacious barn conversion will be perfect if you’re looking for a versatile family home in an off-the-beaten track location, that’s still only a short distance to the town centre shops.

It’s tucked away down a single track lane that makes it feel a lot more rural and remote than it really is - it’s a pleasant 40 minute walk into town or a short 5 minute drive.

And it also manages to give you the best of old and new - with plenty of exposed beams and brickwork to dial up the period charm but also a fabulous modern kitchen / diner.

The layout is a little unusual, with the large lounge offering panoramic countryside views that benefit from being on the upper floor. The high vaulted ceiling has exposed beams and beautifully restored exposed brickwork on three of the four walls (the exposed brickwork also pops up elsewhere, such as in the luxurious family bathroom).

The spacious kitchen / diner is on the lower floor, directly below the lounge - both rooms are roughly the same size (around 35m2 / 377ft2). The lounge has a traditional feel but the modern kitchen / diner has a gorgeous new fitted kitchen which contrasts beautifully with the exposed beams.

The kitchen / diner is sure to be where the family spends most of their time together - with space to sit and eat, a substantial island unit (with an induction hob) and also a more relaxed seating area.

There’s a handy utility room next to the kitchen and a conservatory with views over the south facing garden and the open fields which stretch into the distance.

There’s three double bedrooms on the ground floor, along with a stylish shower room.

Upstairs has another two bedrooms along with the luxurious family bathroom.

There used to be three bedrooms on the top floor but the smallest has been put to use as a dressing room for the main double bedroom. The dressing room still has separate access from the landing, so if you do need a sixth bedroom, putting it back will be a piece of cake.

In addition to the large south facing gardens there’s plenty of space to park several cars or even a camper van or caravan.

Despite the semi-rural feel it’s only a 5 minute drive to the centre of town and that also means the school run will be a breeze. Seaton Academy (rated “Outstanding” by Ofsted) is only a 2 minute drive or a 15 minute walk away.

The location down a quiet lane on the edge of the village makes it feel like you’re in the countryside. 

But you’re actually only a 5 minute walk from the Pack Horse Inn and less than 10 minutes from the centre of the village.

The village has plenty to offer, with local shops, three pubs, a takeaway and a One Stop supermarket all on your doorstep. 

This fantastic barn conversion will be ideal if you’re looking for a spacious and versatile family home in a quiet semi-rural location. It’s a truly unique family home with an unusual layout that blends character, comfort and convenience.

I’m expecting plenty of interest, so call to arrange a viewing.

Heating is provided by an oil fired combi boiler and the property has a septic tank for waste water.
