Mill House,Southwaite,COCKERMOUTH,CA13 0RF
CA13 0RF
5 bed 5 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious period home with far-reaching fell views and extensive gardens.
Five double bedrooms and five bathrooms, including self-contained top-floor apartment
Mill House is a striking former mill dating from 1826, set over three floors and appointed with a blend of period character and contemporary fittings. The house offers five double bedrooms and five bathrooms, plus a top-floor self-contained apartment-style space with kitchenette and en-suite — ideal for multi-generational living, a holiday-let income stream or a live-with-ancillary-unit arrangement.
Living spaces are generous and light-filled: a high-spec kitchen-diner with central island, an elegant lounge with log burner, and a conservatory with underfloor heating that opens onto a substantial landscaped garden. The plot includes a large front driveway with space for numerous cars and outbuilding storage that houses the pellet-fed biomass boiler.
Practicalities are straightforward for rural living: mains electricity and metered water are connected, heating is via biomass pellets, and drainage is to a shared septic tank (with two other properties). The property is not listed and has no known restrictions, and it lies on the fringe of the Lake District National Park with clear views of the Lakeland fells.
Buyers should note some material considerations: broadband speeds are very slow, council tax sits in band F (expensive), and the property has a medium flood risk — factors to weigh for full-time residence or holiday operations. Overall, this is a rare, well-presented period home in an affluent, low-crime village setting that will suit families, multi-generational households or buyers seeking a countryside holiday business opportunity.
