The Home Where The Hills Are Always In View. Something special happens when you wake up to open countryside every single day. The noise in your head quietens, the pace of life slows down, you stop rushing through the day and start enjoying it.

Move to Redwood House and that slower pace of life starts to feel like the new normal.

Set in the small village of Lamplugh, this is a substantial five-bedroom detached family home spread across three floors. 

There’s space for a growing family to spread out comfortably and room enough that everyone gets their own bit of breathing space, all surrounded by the kind of landscape that most people only see on a long weekend away.

Downstairs, the heart of the house is an open-plan living room with an inglenook fireplace and a wood-burning stove. Light a fire on a cool autumn evening with the hills sitting quietly outside the window, and the question of whether you made the right move answers itself pretty quickly.

The ground floor also has a second reception room, flexible enough to serve as a dining room, a home office, or somewhere to disappear with a good book while the rest of the family are doing their thing.

The kitchen-diner has a range of fitted units and enough space for a small dining table, perfect for midweek meals or grabbing a quick bite of lunch. The separate utility room (with w/c) keeps the laundry out of sight.

Head up to the middle floor and you'll find three double bedrooms. There’s an ensuite in the biggest bedroom and a family bathroom shared between the other two bedrooms. It's a sensible layout that works well for busy families - enough rooms that the morning routine doesn't turn into a queuing system.

The top floor has two further rooms - both in good condition and ready for a bit of personalising. A teenage hideaway, a studio, a proper home office, or additional bedrooms for when the whole extended family descends - the choice is yours. Neither room has been decorated to any particular style, which actually makes it easier to put your own stamp on them.

Outside, a double detached garage sits alongside plenty of off-street parking on the gravel drive - genuinely useful when you're juggling a family's worth of cars, bikes and kit. The mature garden wraps around the house with established trees, well-kept lawns and open field views at the back that run all the way to the hills.

The house has been kept in good condition but the bathrooms and some of the rooms are carrying their original fittings so there's real scope to put your own stamp on things, and the structure and layout give you an excellent starting point. Think of it as a home that's been genuinely cared for and is ready for the next chapter.

The location is one of those happy accidents of rural living, managing to feel genuinely quiet and genuinely surrounded by countryside while still sitting only about 20 minutes by car from Workington, Cockermouth and Whitehaven. 

The Lamplugh Village Hall has a good range of activities for all ages and is just along the road. The Countryman Inn is within easy walking distance for a decent meal and a pint without needing to think about who's driving.

And for those who like to get outside, you're right on the edge of the Lake District. The fells, the trails, the water - all of it is on your doorstep in a way that never quite stops feeling like a privilege.

If the idea of coming home to open countryside, a wood-burning fire and a view of the hills every morning is what the move has always been about - this is the house that makes it happen.
