Summary - Beck Brow, Lorton Road CA13 9DF
3 bed 1 bath Bungalow
Large garden, garage and clear scope to modernise into a warm family home.
Period detached bungalow on a large plot
Set on a generous plot just a short stroll from Cockermouth town centre, this period detached home offers solid bones and real potential. The layout provides three bedrooms, two reception rooms and a single bathroom — a practical arrangement for a couple or young family. Double glazing and mains gas heating are in place, but much of the interior requires modernisation to unlock the property’s value.
Highlights include front and rear gardens, private driveway parking and a detached garage, useful for storage or a workshop. The bungalow dates from the 1930s–40s and retains character features such as a bay window and fireplace in the living room. While the overall footprint is modest (about 711 sq ft), the large plot gives scope for extension or garden-focused improvements subject to consents.
Important practical points: the property needs renovation and upgrading throughout, cavity walls appear uninsulated, and services/boiler have not been tested. There is a single family bathroom only. The location scores highly — very low crime, good local schools and easy access to shops and amenities — making this a rare opportunity in a sought-after road.
Buyers should budget for modernisation works (cosmetic and possible energy improvements) and consider insulation and heating updates to improve comfort and running costs. For those prepared to invest, this bungalow represents a characterful, affordable entry into a desirable Cockermouth neighbourhood.
