A specification that’s anything but standard

Designed for modern living and built to last, our homes offer more than your average new build.

Whins Farm Close is situated on the edge of High Harrington village, just a short distance from Harrington and Lillyhall, as well as the larger towns of Workington and Whitehaven. The market town of Cockermouth is also nearby. Just half a mile away is Harrington train station, on the Cumbrian Coast railway, linking to wider Cumbria and which stops at Sellafield. High Harrington has an impressive list of nearby schools and colleges for families. There is the newly extended and refurbished Beckstone Primary School as well as the ‘outstanding’ St Mary`s Catholic Primary School. Plans are in place for a brand new secondary school to replace the current two serving Workington and St. Joseph’s Catholic High School. Just walking distance away you can find the popular Lakes College, well known for its vocational courses and subjects linked to industry in west Cumbria. The local University also has a site at nearby Lillyhall. The nearby bus stop is handy for those commuting into the neighbouring towns and villages and network of cycle paths and bridle ways is on the doorstep for outdoors enthusiasts. The West Cumbria Cycle Network passes through Harrington on old railway routes, on its way from Distington to Workington and is popular with leisure cyclists as well as enthusiasts.
