Sold under affordable housing scheme with 20% discount
A rare affordable-housing opportunity on Sycamore Drive: this well-kept 3-bedroom semi-detached home is offered at a 20% discount to market value under the developer-backed affordable scheme. The current owner has maintained the property to a high standard, so it is ready to move into with no immediate works required. Buyers should note eligibility conditions and resale restrictions that come with the affordable housing tenure.
Inside, the layout is compact and efficiently arranged across about 737 sq ft. A welcoming hallway leads to a comfortable lounge, while an eye-catching kitchen/diner with French doors opens directly onto a sun-trap rear garden. Three light bedrooms and a modern family bathroom upstairs provide practical family accommodation; a ground-floor WC adds everyday convenience. EPC rating B and gas central heating via boiler and radiators are positives for running costs.
Outside benefits include a large driveway for off-street parking and a decent, low-maintenance garden with patio and decking. The property sits on the edge of Seaton within a sought-after Story Homes development, with Workington town centre around ten minutes’ drive for wider amenities. Local schools are close by, though nearby Seaton Academy currently requires improvement; other local primaries and the Energy Coast UTC have Good Ofsted ratings.
This is a strong option for first-time buyers seeking lowered purchase cost and move-in readiness. Be aware the house is modest in overall size and located in an area described by local data as industrious with mixed socioeconomic indicators; that may influence future resale. Flood risk is low and council tax costs are described as cheap, supporting affordable running costs.
