Outside, residents have access to a communal garden area, which adds further outdoor space for those living within the development.

The location stands out, with the house being situated within the grounds of what was once Whitehaven Castle.

Whitehaven Castle is a Grade II listed private property, which was originally constructed in 1769 and known as Flatt Hall.

In 1924, the building was sold by the Earl of Lonsdale to Herbert Wilson Walker, a local industrialist, who donated the building to the people of West Cumberland alongside  £20,000 to set it up as a new hospital.

West Cumberland Hospital was later opened in the area in 1964, and the former Whitehaven Castle became a home for  the elderly before being converted into private apartments.

The £180k property sits to the rear of the castle and is part of what is described as a "modern complex" which "enjoys a sense of exclusivity and security, while being just moments from the heart of Whitehaven."

The description emphasises the area’s sense of "exclusivity and security," stating it is well suited for someone seeking a "central yet tranquil base" in Whitehaven.
