The four-bedroomed property has gone on the market on Alder Close for £269,950. 

The house also boasts two bathrooms and one reception room. 

It is said to have a 'lovely' covered balcony area for enjoying sunsets, and well-maintained, split-level, gardens to the rear.

Inside is a useful separate utility room and the property also has easy access to the town centre and local amenities. 

First Choice Move, Lillyhall, the estate agent said: "Offered for sale with no forward chain, this deceptively spacious detached four-bedroom home offers versatile living space, and spectacular views, with a lovely, covered balcony area, which is perfect for enjoying the sunsets.

"The property whilst in need of a little updating, benefits from a recently fitted bathroom, and has been kept in immaculate condition.

"The property is set on the edge of a highly sought-after area that has long been popular with families.

"The property is just a few minute's drive to nearby schools, including Whitehaven Academy, St Benedict's Catholic High School, and Marjorie Park Primary School.

"The nearby A595 is just a minute away and provides easy transport links to the Whitehaven town centre, as well as the surrounding areas.

"The accommodation briefly comprises an entrance hall, with access to a light and spacious open-plan lounge diner, with a central archway defining the areas.

"Patio doors from the lounge lead into a lovely, covered balcony area, which is the perfect place to enjoy the spectacular views. 

"There is a good size kitchen, benefitting from a separate utility. To the ground floor are two good size bedrooms, and a stylish modern family bathroom.
