This traditional three-bedroom mid-terraced cottage sits in a peaceful hamlet just outside Cockermouth, a short stroll from the popular village pub and surrounded by open countryside. Under its slate roof the house retains character features — exposed beams, a brick fireplace and a wood-burning stove — and benefits from a private rear garden, single garage and off-road parking opposite the property. The plot and living space are modest (approximately 699 sq ft) and well suited to a family seeking village life or buyers wanting a cosy country base.
The interior is practical and comfortable: a large sitting room with wood-burning stove, a long kitchen/dining area and three upstairs bedrooms served by a three-piece bathroom. There is scope for cosmetic updating and some reconfiguration if desired; the property as-built walls are stone with no confirmed insulation, and the EPC is rated E, so energy performance improvements would add value and comfort. Broadband speeds are slow in this remoter community and mobile signal is average — important factors for home workers.
Important facts: the property is freehold, offered with no onward chain, and sits in Council Tax Band C. There is a single garage and additional parking directly opposite. Buyers should note the cottage is traditional construction (pre-1900) and may benefit from a survey to confirm services, insulation and any modernisation needs. Overall this is a characterful, village cottage with clear potential for improvement and a desirable rural outlook.
