Description
Queens Drive has that quality you notice the moment you turn onto it. Wide enough to breathe, quiet enough to hear yourself think, and the kind of street where people tend to stay once they've landed.
This three-bedroom semi gives you the plot - and the space - that's hard to find at this price point in Egremont. The garden at the back is the real headline act. Private, enclosed, and big enough that a trampoline, a veg patch and a patio table don't have to fight for territory. There's already a patio area right off the back of the house, a swing and slide for younger kids, and a shed for everything else. Whoever moves in next will have a proper outdoor space to work with from day one.
Inside, the house makes no attempt to hide where it stands. It needs updating, though it has been lived in by a family rather than neglected, and the layout is solid. The living and dining room run together in an open-plan arrangement, with French doors opening straight onto the garden. It's a sociable space that works well for everyday family life, and it catches the light nicely from the rear.
The kitchen is bigger than you'd expect for a house at this price. There's a peninsula with bar stool seating, a large fridge-freezer, dishwasher, electric hob and space for a washer and dryer - and the sink looks straight out onto the garden, which makes even the less exciting jobs feel a bit more bearable. The floor is dated, and anyone buying this house will likely want to rethink the kitchen over time - but the space is there, and that matters.
Upstairs, the main bedroom has a full run of sliding wardrobes and a decent outlook. The second bedroom has been used as a child's room and works well for that. The third is compact but usable. The bathroom is functional and tidy, with a full-size bath and an overhead shower.
At the front, there's off-street parking and a side access that leads to an outbuilding, which works well as storage for bikes, outdoor kit, or a workshop if that's your thing.
Egremont town centre is a short walk away for your everyday needs, and Sellafield - the area's major employer - is a short drive, which matters a lot for commuting around here. The combination of location, plot size and address is what makes this one worth looking at seriously.
This is a project - there's no point dressing it up as anything else. But it's a project on a good plot, on a good street, at a price that reflects the work needed. For the right buyer, that's exactly the opportunity they've been looking for.
Properties like this - with this much garden, on this street - don't sit around for long. Get in touch to arrange a viewing and come and see what the space actually feels like in person.
