  • Light and airy accommodation with a gas effect stove and private back garden
  • Just steps from the local shops and pubs and close to the Solway coast and the Lake District fells
Property code: SZ123

Tucked away in the heart of Cockermouth, this property is just a few steps from the local independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. Located on the River Derwent, Cockermouth dates back to Norman times but is full of grand Georgian architecture including Wordsworth House, which is open to the public. Also well worth a visit is the Jennings Brewery and Museum, where visitors can discover the 175-year-old beer brewing process and sample the finished product. A 3-mile drive east of town will bring you to the western Lake District including Loweswater, 7.5 miles away, Crummock, 8 miles away, and Buttermere, 11 miles away, all of which offer breath-taking lakeside views. An 8-mile drive west will bring you to the coast and the old industrial town of Workington, now the main shopping hub of West Cumbria, or Maryport, 7 miles away, home to an aquarium, Roman museum and go-karting.

Inside, this refurbished cottage is light, bright and full of character. Rustle up tasty meals in the compact yet well-equipped kitchen, where you will find an electric oven and hob, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, microwave and coffee machine, plus a washing machine and tumble dryer tucked away around the corner. This room is open plan with the dining room, where a feature tiled fireplace still houses the original bread oven. Another original fireplace can be found in the delightful lounge, which also benefits from a gas effect fire, Freeview TV and Netflix together with a range of books and games to choose from. A modern and bright shower room completes the ground floor. Steep stairs lead up to the first floor where two elegant double bedrooms are located. While one boasts a charming window seat for reading, the other overlooks gardens and trees.

Stepping outside, the private back garden has a paved area with pot plants and a table and chairs for enjoying al fresco meals. From here, stone steps lead up to an area with decorative stonesand a further seating area surrounded by a brick and stone wall.

A well presented cottage in a wonderful town. Cockermouth has lots of great shops and restaurants, too many to mention but better pre book to avoid disappointment. My favorite restaurant was 41 Market Place and if you like steak try Blocks. If your into walking there's enough for all experiences. I would definitely return and visit some parts of thRead moree lakes that we didn't get to. Beautiful part of the country and well worth the journey. Hide

Nice little cottage, very comfortable beds, very clean. Lovely little touches. Lounge would be more suitable for 3 guests, rather than 4. Well equipped little kitchenette.

Cosy cottage with all the amenities needed for our long weekend break. Clean and comfortable throughout and the outside area ideal for an cuppa in the sun. Ideally situated for local shops, pubs and restaurants and also for visiting surrounding areas. Parking information was a great help.
