This two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace sits in the heart of Cockermouth, a short walk from the town centre and its wide range of amenities. The property offers genuine starter-home credentials: two double bedrooms, a spacious lounge with exposed beams, a stylish kitchen in good condition and a useful garage providing off-street parking — a real premium in town-centre locations.
Suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors, the house is sold freehold and chain-free which simplifies moving or letting. The layout is practical across two storeys, with a modern ground-floor bathroom and good access to the A66 for wider commuting. Broadband and mobile signal are adequate for everyday needs; council tax is very low.
Be clear about the main drawbacks: the plot is very small with no private garden or rear yard, though there is a right of access to Challoner Street. The building is Victorian, with original sandstone/limestone walls and assumed lack of wall insulation—upgrades may be desirable to improve comfort and running costs. The EPC is E and the living room shows signs of dated finishes and would benefit from modernization.
Overall this property offers character, town-centre convenience and off-street parking — a straightforward project for an occupier looking for a central home or an investor targeting strong rental demand in Cockermouth.
