This cosy and stylish cottage is an ideal choice for couples or small families looking to explore the charm of Cockermouth and the natural beauty of the Lake District National Park. Situated in the heart of this bustling market town, you can make the most of the amenities and browse the art galleries, all within a mile. Tap into the local culture with a visit to the childhood home of William Wordsworth (0.5 miles), now a National Trust site, where peaceful gardens offer a tranquil experience.
On entering this appealing two-storey property you’ll find a welcoming kitchen with bright white tiling, wooden accents, and all the appliances you need to create hearty meals. The kitchen leads through to a homely, sociable lounge/diner, complete with a Smart TV, and doors open onto the patio to let the outside in. This relaxed living space is perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring, with a comfortable sofa and armchair to sink into, and a wooden table for sharing meals and playing board games. Upstairs, you’ll find two comfortable bedrooms: a king-size room and a charming twin with exposed beams, adding plenty of character. A family bathroom completes the interior features. Outside, make the most of the garden, which has a patio area and outdoor furniture – ideal for sipping morning coffee or dining alfresco on fine evenings. On-street parking is available just around the corner on Kirkbank.
