Chain-free two-bedroom semi in a popular Cockermouth location, offered freehold and ready for immediate occupation or letting. The house sits at about 719 sq ft with a traditional layout, boiler and radiators on mains gas, double glazing and a mid-20th-century build; it will suit investors or buyers seeking an affordable starter home close to local schools and amenities.
The accommodation is generally average sized with a modern-feeling kitchen and good natural light in principal rooms. The property is sold as seen and has been priced to reflect its condition; some rooms show dated fittings and minor wall damage, and cavity walls appear to have no retrofit insulation (as built).
Important buyer costs: an upfront administration fee of £500 will be payable on offer acceptance and a buyer's premium of £3,500 or 2.5% of the purchase price (whichever is higher) plus VAT will be payable on exchange. These fees are material to affordability and should be included when calculating your budget.
This is a straightforward, low-risk purchase with no flood risk and excellent mobile signal and broadband. It offers a practical platform for light refurbishment, rental use, or owner-occupation in a small-town setting with good local schools and transport links.
