28 Kirkgate is a compact two-bedroom Victorian terraced cottage in Cockermouth’s Conservation Area, offered freehold and chain-free. The house sits on a very small plot with a private rear yard and a rear bedroom that looks over Cockermouth churchyard — a selling point for holiday-let appeal or a town-centre bolthole. There is also potential to create a roof terrace from the flat roof to add outside space and views.
The interior retains character features and a traditional layout but is small and requires updating. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the walls are likely uninsulated sandstone/limestone, which contributes to the current EPC D rating. These factors mean running costs and comfort will improve only after targeted insulation and heating upgrades.
This property is well suited to investors seeking a holiday let or buyers after a manageable town-centre base for weekends and short stays. The location is central to Cockermouth amenities and schools, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for lettings or remote working. Buyers should factor in modernisation and potential structural or insulation works when budgeting.
Chain-free sale and modest council tax banding reduce immediate purchase friction and on-going costs, but the small footprint and need for improvement limit suitability for those needing large family space. Early viewing is recommended for those prioritising location and redevelopment potential.
