New uPVC windows fitted in 2022

This compact first-floor apartment sits in a converted period building in Cockermouth town centre, offered chain-free and with a designated off-street parking space. The open-plan living room and kitchen come with integrated oven/hob, washer-dryer and fridge, while new uPVC windows were fitted in 2022. Service charge is low at about £46pcm and includes water rates, keeping running costs predictable.
The layout is modest—one double bedroom, an entrance hall with an airing cupboard, and a bathroom with a bath and electric shower over. Heating is by storage heaters rather than a gas central heating system; the flat is functionally finished and will suit someone looking for a low-maintenance, ready-to-live-in home or a straightforward buy-to-let.
Practical considerations are clear: the property is leasehold (very long lease of 981 years) and communal areas are standard for a conversion. Room sizes are small-to-average, so it’s best for a single person or couple rather than a family. Broadband speeds are average and mobile signal is excellent, useful for remote working or streaming.
Local amenities are immediate—shops, cafés, and transport are all within walking distance. There is potential to add value with light cosmetic updating and heating improvements, but buyers should note the above-average local crime rate and that the storage heaters and other services have not been tested.
