Do You Buy It For Your Large Family Or Enjoy The Airbnb Income? A big and beautiful end terrace in the heart of a sought after coastal village. With nine bedrooms and four bathrooms across three floors, a garage, off-road parking and only a 20 minute walk to the beach.

You won’t find many houses in St Bees that genuinely work as both a large family home and a profitable holiday let going concern. But this one certainly does. From Day One.

Whether you're a large family who's outgrown pretty much everything you've viewed, or an investor looking for a ready-made Airbnb in one of the Cumbrian coasts most visited villages, it's hard to find fault with what's on offer here.

St Bees is one of those places people discover and don't stop talking about. A traditional village - with a primary school, a pub, a station and a sandy beach - that somehow still feels like a find.

Wainwright’s Coast to Coast walk starts here, which means a steady stream of walkers passing through from spring right through to autumn. For an Airbnb, that's not a bad market to tap into, on top of the normal “staycation” crowds.

Standing proud at the end of a terraced row on the Main Street through the village, the stained glass inner door opens into a hall with original wooden floors and a staircase that sets the tone for what follows.

The lounge has the kind of impressive ceiling height you only find in period properties, with the original fireplace and French doors that lead through into the kitchen-diner.

That kitchen-diner is both a practical and sociable space - with white shaker units, oak worktops, a gas hob, double oven and a breakfast bar as well as room for a large dining table.

The utility room sits just off here, doing exactly what it should to keep on top of the laundry and everyday clutter - there's a shower room alongside it, which for muddy walkers (or dogs!) back from the fells is genuinely useful.

There's also one of the nine double bedrooms. The remaining eight are spread across the first and second floors, which means there's real separation between them - important whether you're housing a big family or managing guests.

The first floor is where you'll find the main bathroom, and it's worth the climb - home to a large freestanding bath, separate walk-in shower and stylish tiling throughout.

The first floor is also home to the sun room. It would make a great home office, cosy reading room or even a 10th bedroom. With direct access into the rear garden, it would make a lovely room in the summer months.

The second floor has four bedrooms and two shower rooms, both installed recently and finished to a fresh, modern standard.

Outside, there’s a back garden that gets sun all day. There's a driveway to the rear with space for three cars - which for a property in the middle of the village is genuinely rare - and a double garage alongside it.

If you’re buying it to give your family an idyllic coastal lifestyle, St Bees Village School is only a three-minute walk away. The independent St Bees School is about 10 minutes away, just past the station, which has trains running down the coast to Whitehaven and inland to Carlisle.

Egremont is only a ten minute drive away for your everyday shopping needs.

If you're buying for yourselves to live in, this is a real unicorn property - a house this size, in this condition, in a village like this, with parking, a garage and a garden. And if you’re an investor it’s already running as a profitable holiday let, with no chain, so you can seamlessly take over the operation.

I’m expecting it to be popular so get in touch to arrange a viewing…before someone else does.
