The property

The Old Post Office is an appealing house positioned near Whitehaven, Cumbria, offering off-road parking, an atmospheric open-fire, and an engaging open-plan living arrangement.

Guests are welcomed into a space designed for spending time together, where the sitting area makes a natural gathering point with its crackling fire setting the scene for relaxed evenings.

The kitchen and dining area flow effortlessly from here, allowing conversations to continue as meals are prepared and shared.

A ground-floor shower room provides useful convenience, particularly for beach days or coastal walks.

Upstairs, three bedrooms offer a mix suited to families and groups: a king-size room, a standard double, and a smaller double ideal for one guest.

Completing the upper floor is a stylish bathroom featuring a freestanding bath and handheld shower, providing a touch of indulgence for slower mornings or peaceful wind-downs.

Stepping outside the property, you’ll find the Cumbrian coastline unfolding in both directions.

In Whitehaven, the harbour and Georgian streets offer plenty to explore, along with museums and places to eat.

A short trip to St Bees brings you to one of the region’s most admired beaches, known for its dramatic red cliffs and scenic trails.

Further afield, Cockermouth offers an array of independent shops, riverside walks, and cultural sites.

For days venturing toward the Lakes, Ennerdale provides a quieter alternative to the busier spots, while Keswick offers theatre, water activities, and wide-reaching views.

With its inviting spaces and coastal setting, The Old Post Office provides a wonderfully placed base for discovering both shoreline and countryside.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.

About the location

WHITEHAVEN

St Bees 2.6 miles; Ennerdale 11 miles; Loweswater 16 miles; Wasdale 19 miles; Keswick 21 miles; Bowness-on-Windermere 49.8 miles.

The West Cumbrian town of Whitehaven is situated on the coast between the sparkling sea and the Lakeland Fells. It was one of the first ‘planned’ towns in England and today can boast almost 250 Listed Georgian buildings and some beautiful parks and gardens. Today the town’s harbour is a designated conservation area and visitors can learn about the town’s history at the excellent Beacon Heritage Centre. The surrounding coastline has much to offer, not least its old smugglers villages, such as Ravenglass, and the red sandstone cliffs of pretty St Bees - now the start of Wainwright’s famous “Coast to Coast” Walk. Meanwhile inland you can enjoy the tranquillity of the Western lakes: Ennerdale, Loweswater, Crummock, Buttermere and Wastwater. Ennerdale is perhaps the most peaceful of all the lakes, with no public roads running along its National Trust owned shoreline.
