4 bed detached house for sale

Watson Lane, Whitehaven, Cumbria CA28

A Modern Family Home That’s Better Than Brand New. The garden’s landscaped, the kitchen-diner’s had a sociable glow-up and the quiet street feels more like home. With no chain, you could be living the Edgehill Park life sooner than you think.

If you’ve ever viewed a new-build and thought, “Looks great - but the garden’s just bare turf, the house needs a bit of personality…and the builders are still hanging about, ” then 12 Watson Lane is exactly what you’ve been waiting for.

This four-bedroom detached home is on the peaceful side of Story Homes’ sought-after Edgehill Park development. Built in 2021 but thoughtfully upgraded since, it’s move-in ready in the truest sense - the perfect family home.

Inside, the spacious kitchen diner now feels stylish and more sociable. The French doors open onto a proper landscaped back garden - not just a patch of bare turf - so you can host BBQs or watch the kids play while cooking dinner.

At the front of the house, the lounge is the ideal place to unwind, whether you’re curling up with a film or just enjoying the quiet that comes from living on a no-through road.

There’s also a downstairs loo, an ensuite for the main bedroom, and a four-piece family bathroom, making the morning routine simple and stress-free for busy families.

All four bedrooms are generously sized. The smallest is currently set up as a home office, but could just as easily be a child’s room or nursery.

Outside, the driveway and garage give you plenty of parking options - and if you’re thinking of converting the garage into a home gym or extra reception space, that’s a possibility too (subject to planning permission and building control consent).

As the estate is on the southern edge of town it means you’re only 6 minutes drive from the West Cumberland Hospital, the Westlakes Science Park or the town centre.

Even Sellafield is less than 20 minutes drive away.

And when the weekend comes you can get back into town to hit the shops or catch up with friends or head out into the open fields at the entrance to the estate.

If you have younger children or are thinking of starting a family soon, Valley Primary School & Nursery (rated “Good” by Ofsted) is only a 3 minute drive away.

And older kids can choose from Whitehaven Academy or the popular West Lakes Academy in Egremont - being on the southern edge of town will make the journey to either school take around the same time.

There’s more to look forward to, too. The developer is in the process of creating a landscaped picnic area exclusively for residents, just on the other side of the street - so you’ll soon have even more green space to enjoy just seconds from your front door.

And because this home is chain-free, you could be moving in and enjoying your new Edgehill Park lifestyle sooner than you think.

We’re expecting plenty of interest so call now to arrange a viewing.
