4 Bedroom Terraced House

A Hidden Gem With A Huge Lounge, An Even Bigger Bedroom And Timeless Style Throughout. This beautifully renovated terrace in the heart of St Bees is peaceful, private and perfectly placed for bracing beach walks, short school runs and speedy station commutes.

This is the kind of home that surprises you in all the right ways - especially when you realise just how much space is on offer behind its quiet lane setting. 

It’s the 26 ft lounge that makes the first impression. With its beautiful period features and a traditional cast iron stove set into a stylish surround, it’s a space made for stretching out, switching off and feeling right at home.

On the other side of the hall, the dining room and kitchen unfold across two levels. It’s a lovely, sociable layout where friends and family can gather without getting in each other’s way. The kitchen’s fitted in a timeless shaker style, with integrated appliances and crisp, clean lines that won’t date.

Upstairs, the main bedroom stretches the full width of the house - a 24 ft light-filled space with four sash windows, two fireplaces and a serious wow factor. 

Once two separate rooms, it’s now a generous retreat with plenty of room to sleep, work or unwind in total comfort. There’s also a second double bedroom on this floor, along with a gorgeous four piece bathroom complete with a roll-top bath and separate shower.

The top floor gives you two further bedrooms up in the eaves, and a stylish shower room that’s ideal for guests or teenagers who want their own space.

Outside, the courtyard makes a lovely spot for a morning coffee or evening drink - and the original sandstone sink in the powered outbuilding is a quirky and practical bonus. 

At the front, the decked garden with its central pergola feels calm and tucked away, with views across open fields that make it easy to forget you’re only a short walk from the centre of the village.

St Bees is a popular coastal village and a great place to bring up your family, being right on the beach and so close to the National Park fells.

St Bees Village Primary (rated “Good” by Ofsted) is less than a 10 minute walk away, just off the main street.

For older kids, the modern West Lakes Academy in Egremont is another “Good” school that’s less than a 10 minute drive away. Or if you prefer independent fee paying schools, the highly regarded St Bees School is even closer - it’s in the village, less than a 10 minute walk away.

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

Having said that, Whitehaven is only 15 minutes by car, where you’ll find all the bigger name stores, restaurants and takeaways.

And you don’t have to take the car - you could use the hourly train service to hit the shops in Whitehaven or Carlisle.

It’s only a 4 minute walk to St Bees station, so this superb four-bedroom end terrace can also give you a viable Carlisle commute, combined with a relaxed coastal lifestyle.  

Whether it’s a walk to the station, a dash to school, or a leisurely weekend wander to the beach, everything’s within easy reach - and yet once you’re home, it feels like you’ve left it all behind.

I’m expecting plenty of interest in this gorgeous thoughtfully updated family home, get in touch to arrange a viewing.
