Summary - Embleton, Cockermouth, CA13 CA13 9YP
3 bed 2 bath Detached Bungalow
Single-level living close to Bassenthwaite with garage and peaceful countryside access.
Large private plot with front and rear gardens and paved terrace
This detached three-bedroom bungalow sits in a private cul-de-sac within the Lake District National Park, offering single-level living and broad fell views from principal rooms and a large sunroom. The plot is generous with lawned gardens front and rear, a paved terrace off the sunroom, and a private drive leading to a garage with an electric roller door, power, light and a cloakroom.
The property is presented in good decorative order throughout but retains some dated fittings — notably a kitchen from the 1980s that will suit updating to modern tastes. Practical improvements include a newly installed floor-mounted oil-fired combination boiler (2024) and double glazing; heating runs off oil and radiators. Note the garage houses the boiler rather than the main house.
Important practical points: this location has no reliable mobile signal and very slow broadband, and the site carries a medium flooding risk. Council Tax is in band E (above average). These factors make the house particularly well suited to downsizers or buyers seeking a peaceful rural base with strong walking and leisure access, provided they accept limited digital connectivity and the ongoing cost and logistics of oil heating.
Nearby conveniences and leisure: Bassenthwaite Lake and its sailing club are around 1.5 miles away, with Cockermouth (5 miles) and Keswick (9 miles) readily reachable via the A66. Good primary and secondary schools serve the area, and low local crime plus the National Park setting add to the appeal for those prioritising scenery and outdoor access.
