Economical, updated home ideal for first-time buyers seeking flexibility and convenience.
Mid-terraced three-bedroom home with converted attic bedroom
A thoughtfully updated mid-terrace in Cockermouth, this three-bedroom home suits first-time buyers or young families seeking straightforward, flexible living close to local amenities. Recent practical upgrades — including new uPVC windows and a modern combi boiler — reduce immediate maintenance and make the house largely move-in ready.
The layout has been cleverly adapted: a converted attic provides a third bedroom/home-office, while the former third bedroom now offers flexible space for a study, gym or storage. Ground-floor accommodation includes a bright lounge and a modern dining kitchen, with neat front and low-maintenance rear gardens accessed via a side alley with two external storage cupboards.
There are some shortcomings to note: the property sits in an area recorded as deprived with slow broadband speeds, and the EPC is band D. The plot is small and room sizes are average, so buyers needing large gardens or expansive living areas should consider this. Overall, the house offers practical, economical living in a convenient town-fringe location with scope to personalise further where desired.
