Description
Buying nearly new means you get the best bits of a new build - clean lines, modern layout, energy efficiency - without the building site chaos that usually comes with it. No muddy roads. No early morning dumper trucks. No snag list to worry about. Just a home that’s already settled and already upgraded by the current owners.
Inside, it’s crisp, calm and cleverly laid out. The modern fitted kitchen sits at the front, on the other side of the hall from the handy downstairs loo.
At the back, the lounge-diner opens through French doors onto a private back garden.
Yes, there’s a couple of pylons and a substation behind the back fence. But what you lose in picture-postcard scenery, you gain in proper privacy. There’s no one looking in, no one walking past and no building work anywhere in sight.
Upstairs, both bedrooms are doubles - ideal if you’re moving in together, starting a family or need space to work from home. The family bathroom is modern, fresh and ready to go.
Built by Genesis Homes, Meadow Walk is a lovely development on the edge of Stainburn that’s understandably become very popular with couples and young families.
The Stainburn village location gives you the best of both worlds. It feels rural but it’s still only 10 minutes drive to the town centre when you do need to hit the shops.
Located a couple of miles east of the town centre, if you do have young children the school run will be short. The Ashfield Schools (for younger kids) and Workington Academy are all less than a 10 minute drive away.
This smart and stylish home will be ideal for first-time buyers, couples or anyone who wants that new-home feeling - with none of the usual headaches.
I’m expecting plenty of interest so get in touch to arrange a viewing.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on Area rent estimate.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
