Bright, substantial family home with large garden — ideal for a renovation project.
Detached four-bedroom family house with large front and rear gardens
A four-bedroom detached house on Vicarage Lane offering generous family accommodation and substantial gardens. Cherished by the same family since 1971, the home sits slightly back from the road with a larger-than-expected front garden, tarmac drive and single garage. Large windows give bright rooms and pleasant outlooks across rooftop and distant countryside.
The property requires upgrading and cosmetic refresh throughout — this is a clear refurbishment opportunity to modernise heating, kitchen and bathrooms, and improve insulation. There is one family bathroom and a separate ground-floor WC, so buyers should plan for limited bathroom provision until altered. EPC rating D and assumed cavity wall construction (no insulation) indicate potential for energy improvements.
For families, the location is a strong selling point: quiet, sought-after residential lane with quick access to Cockermouth town centre, A66, good local schools (including Outstanding-rated nearby options), leisure facilities and countryside walks. No chain and freehold tenure make for a straightforward purchase route for a buyer prepared to invest in updating the house.
Overall, this is a project property with real upside: keep the roomy layout and large garden, update services and finishes, and create a comfortable, efficient family home in a very affluent, low-crime neighbourhood.
