4 bedroom semi-detached house

A Substantial Stone Semi In The Heart Of A Quiet Village. This large Victorian semi-detached has been transformed into a stylish and modern family home, with a sociable ground floor, a gorgeous family shower room and plenty of outside space.

If you’re the kind of family who prefers a quiet village life surrounded by open fields, this substantial semi could be perfect. 

It’s only a short stroll from the centre of the village but is only a 10 minute drive from Maryport or Cockermouth when you do need to nip into town.

And this four bedroom family home also offers you the best of both worlds. 

Built in the 1860’s it retains plenty of traditional character but has been thoughtfully extended and tastefully updated, to transform it into a modern and stylish family home.

Adding a stairwell to the side of a house may not be the obvious way to dramatically change a property but it’s worked! The side extension has added extra space on the ground floor for the stairs and the kitchen, as well as enabling the first floor layout to be creatively reconfigured. 

When first built in the 1860’s this traditional family home would have had a kitchen and three separate reception rooms on the ground floor. 

The three reception rooms have all been opened up to create a seamless L-shaped sociable space. They’re decorated in a crisp and clean colour palette which highlights the gorgeous exposed stonework, beams and wooden lintels above the windows.

The kitchen also blends old and new to create a welcoming space where you’ll all love to spend time together. It’s not huge but there is room for a small island unit and there’s a separate utility room and pantry that provides additional storage space.

Upstairs has three double bedrooms and a fabulous shower room with more exposed stonework, his & hers sinks and a walk-in shower. It’s a stunning room that wouldn’t look out of place in a boutique hotel.

The loft has been converted to create an additional large double bedroom, another bathroom with a superb modern freestanding bath and a handy storage area in the eaves.

The property sits on a substantial plot with a large (170m2) concrete garden at the side and the rear. That means there’s space to park a fleet of cars (or a caravan/camper van) and plenty of scope to get creative to soften up the concrete with flashes of greenery and colour. 

Dearham is a small village but it has enough to meet most of your day-to-day needs, with a Spar at the BP garage and a takeaway. There’s a couple of friendly pubs, including the Sun Inn which is just a short stroll away.

And there's a choice of great schools nearby, including the "Outstanding" Dearham Primary School which is less than a 10 minute walk away.

It only takes around 10 minutes to drive into Maryport or if you were feeling fit you can ride it in around 15 minutes or walk there in just over an hour.

The drivetime to Cockermouth is similar (it’s actually a couple of minutes quicker) but as it’s a more hilly route it will take around half an hour to cycle and almost 2 hours on foot.

If you’re looking for a spacious and stylish family home in a quiet village location this could be perfect. 

It really does give you the best of old and new - with large rooms that are full of traditional charm combined with gorgeous modern design where it matters most.

It’s absolutely immaculate throughout, so you could move in and make yourselves at home with no need to get the paintbrushes out or make any alterations.
