Summary - 2, James Pit Road CA28 7HQ
2 bed 1 bath Detached
Lovingly upgraded lock-up-and-leave cottage near the marina.
Double-fronted detached cottage with period features
This charming double-fronted detached cottage has been lovingly upgraded and presents as a ready-to-enjoy lock-up-and-leave home or holiday let. The central hallway and reclaimed wood-block floor lead to two separate reception rooms and a country-style kitchen with its own exit — a practical layout that feels cosy without being cramped. Two first-floor bedrooms sit alongside a modern shower room, while two attic rooms off bedroom 2 offer flexible space for a snug, study or storage (limited head height).
Situated just outside Whitehaven town centre, the property is an easy walk to the marina, bars, cafes and local shops — ideal for buyers seeking low-maintenance living or a holiday income stream. It is currently run as an Airbnb, demonstrating clear short‑term let potential and straightforward lock-up-and-leave appeal.
Buyers should note some material limitations: outdoor space is very small, so it’s not suited to someone wanting a sizeable garden. The property has an EPC band E and the original stone walls are assumed to lack insulation, offering clear scope for energy improvements. The area records very high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, factors to weigh for families or those prioritising neighbourhood safety.
Overall, this recently renovated cottage combines period character with practical, compact living. It will suit downsizers, holiday-home buyers or investors looking for a town-edge property with proven short-term let history, while those seeking more outdoor space, lower-area crime or top energy efficiency may want to look elsewhere.
