One of the finest homes in the area, 6 Stainburn road is an imposing Victorian era Mansion House, boasting a palatial, 5000 square feet of accommodation filled with an outstanding level of period features and detailing.
Formerly part of the Curwen family estate, the property was converted in the 1890’s into the beautiful home you see today, with further sympathetic renovations more recently undertaken to create a wonderful family home of grand proportions.
The accommodation typifies its era, with the majority of the rooms retaining the period character of the Victorian age; deep skirting boards, open fireplaces, high ceilings with ornate cornicing and ceiling roses, and large windows which flood the spaces with warm natural light.
From the moment you step through the door you can’t help but be wowed; a double height entrance hallway, with galleried landing and stained glass windows, displays a level of grandeur usually reserved for a luxurious hotel. The large dual aspect lounge enjoys exposed floor boards and a multi fuel stove, whilst the dining room has a large Victorian fireplace, also with multi fuel stove, and can comfortably accommodate large dinner parties or family occasions – fourteen to sixteen people around the table isn’t a problem for this room.
A second reception room provides a calm breakout space, teenagers den or home office/study area. Dining kitchen with island unit and stairs to the lower ground floor bar area, and a downstairs shower room complete the ground floor.
To the first floor there are five large, double bedrooms all boasting feature fireplaces, a dressing room/office and a family bathroom with claw foot, roll-top bathtub.
The lower ground floor currently accommodates a bar room which leads out to the rear garden and creates an excellent entertaining space. There is also a storage/boiler room and a large area of unconverted rooms which currently provide a huge amount of storage space but are also prime for conversion into supplementary accommodation or potentially an income generating holiday let or annexe (subject to appropriate consents).
The grounds are immensely private with off road parking on the gravelled driveway for several cars, wraparound gardens laid mainly to lawn with patio seating areas and a wide variety of mature trees and shrubs.
Outline planning permission has been granted within the grounds for a detached three/four bedroom property with garage.
Situated on the edge of the historic port town of Workington with easy access to shops, services and highly regarded, primary and secondary schools. The Lake District National Park is only a 15 minute drive away, as is the market town of Cockermouth. The major employment centres of the west coast including Sellafield are all within easy commuting distance, whilst mainline train services are available at Carlisle and Penrith- within an hours drive.
Mains electricity, gas, water & drainage; gas-fired central heating; partial double glazing and partial single glazed sliding sash windows; telephone & broadband connections installed subject to BT regulations. Please note: The mention of any appliances/services within these particulars does not imply that they are in full and efficient working order.
From Cockermouth take the A66 west towards Workington, head down the Stainburn by-pass and follow the road into Workington. The property can be found after approx.200 yards on the left hand side.
