Summary - 17 Challoner Street CA13 9QS
3 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Chain-free three-bedroom with period detail and scope to improve energy efficiency.
Three-storey Victorian end-terrace, generous room sizes
A three-storey Victorian end-terrace in the heart of Cockermouth, this chain-free home offers generous room sizes, period character and immediate access to shops, schools and riverside amenities. The accommodation is presented in good decorative order with a modern fitted kitchen, attractive joinery and built-in wardrobes across the bedrooms, so it is ready to occupy while you plan longer-term improvements.
Practical strengths include mains gas central heating, double glazing and a long lease (c.800 years). The footprint is vertical rather than wide, giving good living space over three floors and a small gated courtyard to the rear rather than a full garden. Council Tax is very low and flood risk is reported as low.
Matters to note: the property is leasehold, EPC rated E, and the original granite or whinstone walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation. These are common for pre-1900 terraces and present sensible opportunities for energy upgrades. On-street parking is limited by town-centre restrictions and the immediate area records above-average crime rates, which may concern some buyers.
This home suits buyers who prioritise central living—families wanting local schools and amenities, or investors seeking a well-presented town-centre rental. It combines immediate usability with scope for targeted improvements (insulation, energy efficiency, cosmetic modernisation) that will add comfort and value over time.
