Set on the edge of Cockermouth’s town centre, this four-bedroom end-terrace offers roomy, versatile living across four floors. The property’s previous use as a bed & breakfast gives genuine rental or multi-occupancy potential, and an attached garage plus off-road parking are rare finds close to the high street.
The house is a period build with characterful sandstone/limestone walls and Victorian/Georgian styling, sitting quietly by the historic town hall and All Saints Church. Accommodation includes two bathrooms and generous reception rooms; the layout suits a growing family or an investor wanting an income-producing home with straightforward conversion potential.
There are practical considerations to note: the home is leasehold, the EPC is rated E, and the original stone walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy performance and running costs could be improved. Broadband is average and some updating or refurbishment will be needed to bring the property to modern standards.
For buyers seeking a character property in a very low-crime, affluent small-town setting, this house offers scope to add value. Nearby good and outstanding schools, plentiful local amenities and excellent mobile signal make it an attractive long-term family home or a buy-to-let opportunity with strong local demand.
