Characterful four-bedroom home in Embleton, chain-free and close to the Lake District.
Victorian terraced house with original sash windows and high ceilings
Set in the peaceful village of Embleton within the Lake District National Park, this Victorian four-bedroom terrace combines period character with countryside living. High ceilings, sash windows and original mouldings give the house strong kerb appeal; the secluded cottage-style garden offers a private outdoor space tucked away from the road.
The layout suits a family or a small buy-to-let portfolio: a spacious living room with fireplace, an open-plan kitchen/dining area and four bedrooms, including a large attic room with a VELUX that could serve as a home office or snug. The property is chain-free and freehold, which simplifies purchase for buyers who want a quick move or an uncomplicated investment.
Practical considerations: heating is by oil, broadband speeds are slow and there is a single family bathroom, so the house will suit buyers who do not require modern high-speed connectivity or who are prepared to update services. EPC rating D indicates mid-range energy performance and there is potential to improve efficiency with insulation and heating upgrades.
This is a genuine opportunity for someone seeking a character home in a desirable, low-crime hamlet near Cockermouth. It will particularly appeal to families wanting good local schools, buyers seeking a Lake District base, or investors looking for a village rental with scope for modest refurbishment. The location and period features are the primary draws; budget for service upgrades if contemporary utilities are a priority.
