James Pit Road, Whitehaven, CA28 7HQ

Pretty as a picture, this double fronted detached cottage is well located just outside the town centre yet within easy reach of the marina and local shopping facilities. Currently used as an AirBnb but perfect as a lock-up-and-leave downsize in the UK, this cute and characterful property must be viewed and has been lovingly upgraded by the owners. The central hallway with reclaimed wood block floor leads to both reception rooms, a cosy living room and a separate dining room which in turn leads into a cottage-style bespoke kitchen. To the first floor there are two charming bedrooms, a first floor shower room and there are to top floor attic rooms, accessible from the 2nd bedroom - perfect for a snug, den or space for teens... Being detached but with a lack of garden makes this great for buyers downsizing but wanting to travel, or as a holiday home.
