Characterful starter home with modern kitchen and sunny terrace.
Compact 432 sqft cottage, efficient two-bedroom layout
A tidy two-bedroom terraced cottage in the centre of Cockermouth that pairs period charm with practical upgrades. The living room centres on a log burner and wooden floors; the contemporary kitchen includes integrated appliances and attractive tiled flooring, so cooking and day-to-day living are ready to go. A sunny decked terrace just outside the shower room extends the living space in fair weather.
At 432 sq ft the house is small but efficiently arranged: a double and a single bedroom suit a first home, a downsizer or a buy-to-let. The property is freehold, on mains gas with a combi boiler and double glazing; an outhouse with electricity provides useful secure storage for bikes and equipment. Flood risk is low and mobile signal is excellent.
Buyers should note the cottage’s limitations honestly. The footprint is compact, there is no garden and parking is on-street. The property was constructed before 1900 and the stone walls are assumed uninsulated, contributing to an EPC rating of D; some buyers may wish to budget for further insulation or energy improvements. Crime in the immediate area is reported above average, and purchasers are advised to carry out their own checks and a survey.
Overall this is a characterful, well-presented starter home or investment in a popular market town. It offers immediate liveability with scope for small energy upgrades to improve efficiency and long-term value.
