5 Bedroom Detached House

Sea Views From Your Dining Room, Living Room, Balcony And Bedrooms. And you also get sea views from the tiered garden, especially the pergola deck. A surprisingly spacious family home that looks like a bungalow but doesn’t live like one, just a short walk from the village, golf course and beach.

When you’re looking for your dream coastal home you really want one with a sea view. But how about one with sea views from almost every room in the house - and the garden too?

What you get here is a proper family home spread across three floors, with the Irish Sea and the Cumbrian coastline in your eyeline from the kitchen, the dining room, the living room, the master bedroom, the balcony and the garden. 

And it is actually a three storey home - despite looking like a neat rendered bungalow behind a gated driveway with plenty of parking. 

When you walk through the front door the true scale of what's inside starts to become clear.

The ground floor has an open-plan kitchen that’s a proper cook's space - a large island with bar seating, dark cabinetry, integrated appliances and dark worktops that run the full length of the room. 

It flows directly into the dining room, where a vaulted ceiling, skylights and a wrap of panoramic windows frame a view across the village rooftops to the green hills and the sea beyond. 

Chances are, this will be the room families end up living in - breakfast, dinner, evenings in front of the TV with the coastal light changing behind it. There's a separate living room on this floor too, with its own sea view across to the Isle of Man - a separate evening retreat.

The main bedroom on this level has the feel of a luxury suite - sea views through both windows and French doors opening onto the shared balcony, where there's room to sit and take in the morning. The ensuite is a sleek, dark-tiled wet room with a chrome heated towel rail.

Down a floor, there are four bedrooms - three doubles and a study that works just as well as a fifth bedroom for guests. A large dressing room sits off the landing, fitted floor to ceiling with oak wardrobes and its own vanity area. The family bathroom is finished in warm travertine tones with both a bath and a separate shower. 

The lower ground floor has a large utility room with its own direct access to the garden, and a double garage with electric doors. 

The full property is serviced by an integrated vacuum system. It's one of those things that you'll wonder how you ever lived without it!

Outside, the main terrace leads to a composite-decked pergola area - properly sheltered, facing west, with uninterrupted views across the bay. You'll be catching the last of the sun here well into the evening. 

Steps lead down through the tiered garden to a lower lawn with raised beds, a greenhouse and established fruit trees. There's space to grow, space to play and enough structure in place so it won't take over your weekends if you’d rather spend your time at the beach.

The centre of the village is only a short walk away - with a post office, a pub, a primary school, a couple of beaches and the famous coastal path. The golf course is also right on your doorstep. 

The station is a 10 minute walk and the sandy beach at Seacote is just a 25 minutes away (even in flip-flops) or 5 minutes if you all pile in the car.

The popular St Bees Village School is just a 5 minute walk, while the highly regarded independent St Bees School is only 5 minutes further away. 

Older kids are within the catchment for the popular West Lakes Academy in Egremont, which is less than a 10 minute drive away.

It’s likely you’ll head to Egremont for your day-to-day needs. The town has everything you’d want, with a range of local shops and an active local community. 

For even more choice Whitehaven is around ten minutes by car or only 5 minutes on the train - with the station in the village connecting to Carlisle and the national rail network.

A family home with proper space, real views from almost every room, and a garden with something for everyone (and more sea views) - in a village that's still one of the best-kept secrets on the Cumbrian coast.
