3 Bedroom Cottage in Cockermouth

Located in the Georgian market town of Cockermouth, this stylish cottage serves as a gateway to the wonderful Lake District National Park. Cockermouth is filled with lovely local shops, art galleries, cafés, pubs and restaurants, all within 300 metres of your front door. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the house’s proximity to excellent walking trails, while seaside fans will be keen to visit the nearest beach at Maryport (8.5 miles). With space for five, this beautifully presented home is wonderful for families and groups of fell walkers.

The end-of-terrace cottage features a charming monochrome facade and a traditional look. Inside, it’s been renovated to a high standard, with a clean colour scheme of black, white, greys and splashes of bright colour. Leave your coats and hiking boots in the entrance hall before stepping into the inviting lounge, equipped with a gas fire housed within a striking black fireplace, and a Smart TV. The elegant dining room has a glass-topped dining room and an elegant feature fireplace – white this time. It leads to a galley kitchen with glossy white tiles and units. On the first floor, there is a spacious king-size bedroom and a cosy single bedroom, along with a family bathroom. Head up to the second floor, and you’ll find a characterful double bedroom. Outside, the private garden is wonderful for relaxing in the fresh air, with outdoor furniture, a lush lawn, a decking area, a BBQ set and secure storage for bikes.

Cockermouth is home to the childhood residence of William Wordsworth, the famous poet. You can visit his home and garden (500 metres), now a National Trust site, during your stay. Within a radius of 11 miles, the stunning lakes of Bassenthwaite, Buttermere, Crummock and Loweswater beckon for hiking opportunities and water sports like kayaking and paddleboarding. Whinlatter Forest (7 miles) offers wonderful mountain biking trails and, for adventure seekers, Go Ape.
