Town House
A modern and unique 5 bed period townhouse located within a very short walk to Whitehaven town centre and boasting off road parking and gardens - a rare find for such a property situated so close to the town centre.
This property on Inkerman Terrace has been immaculately maintained by the present owners to create a comfortable and traditionally styled family home, whilst managing to retain many of the original character features, including cornicing, doors, floor tiles, floorboards, fireplaces and skirting boards. Decorated in a modern style, with high ceilings, spacious rooms and flexible living arrangements, 14 Inkerman Terrace is perfectly suited to young or growing families, but would equally suit a couple looking for a sizeable home.
In brief, accommodation comprises a grand entrance hall with original tiled flooring, which gives access to the large cellar, spacious lounge with large windows, second reception room with French doors to rear, and modern, dining kitchen with access to a handy laundry/utility room. A split level staircase with beautiful, stained glass window leads up to the first floor, where there are three large bedrooms, family bathroom, shower room and separate WC. There are two further bedrooms with Velux windows and a further landing space to the second floor, also giving access to a room situated directly above the feature skylight.
Externally, the property benefits from driveway parking to the front leading to a detached garage, with the option also available to obtain a residents and visitors parking permit if additional parking is required. Gardens are well proportioned, with lawned and decked areas together with an area to the side with storage outbuildings.
The property is well located just a very short walk to Whitehaven town centre, which offers a wide range of amenities including shops, schools, restaurants and leisure facilities.
