Summary - 32 SOUTH STREET COCKERMOUTH CA13 9RT
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Compact two-bed terraced home near town centre — good rental potential, chain free.
Chain-free mid-terrace two-bedroom freehold
A compact two-bedroom mid-terrace in central Cockermouth, this freehold property presents a straightforward buy-to-let or entry purchase with immediate rental potential (estimated £625pcm). The open-plan ground floor maximises usable space and the sizeable rear yard and outhouse provide useful storage — practical for tenants or as income-enhancing extras.
Key strengths are location and condition: the house sits close to shops, cafes, schools and transport links, appealing to long-term local demand. It is offered chain-free and in generally good move-in condition, with gas central heating and a boiler in the rear lobby.
Material considerations are clear and should be factored into acquisition costs: the building is small (approx. 519 sq ft) with single-glazed sash windows reported and stone walls likely without insulation. EPC D and an older construction era (c.1900–1929) suggest future energy improvement work could be needed to raise efficiency and rental value. Crime levels in the area are above average and the local classification indicates hampered aspiration and ageing urban communities — both relevant to target tenant profiling and yield expectations.
Overall this is a pragmatic purchase for an investor or buyer seeking an affordable town-centre home. Short-term letting or modest refurbishment to improve thermal performance and curb appeal could strengthen returns; purchasers should commission a survey and consider insulation, window upgrades and routine maintenance when calculating outlays.
