Description

This historic property, constructed in 1865, presents a unique opportunity for those seeking both character and potential. Nestled in a charming setting by a serene stream and surrounded by the picturesque Northern Lake District fells, this home boasts an inviting atmosphere that combines warmth with a sense of history. It features original wooden details throughout and has been well-maintained with modern upgrades like double glazing and an LPG central heating system. While already comfortable as is, there exists significant scope for enhancement. Consider converting the spacious attic into a fourth bedroom—subject to building regulation approval—or transforming the adjacent double-height barn into an art studio or guest accommodation; both possibilities would add considerable value to the property. The layout includes three sizable bedrooms, a family bathroom with contemporary fittings, and an appealing kitchen diner that benefits from views over the gardens. This tranquil countryside locale enjoys convenient access to nearby towns such as Cockermouth, Workington, and Whitehaven, providing essential amenities and schooling options. Overall, this property not only offers a lovely living space but also serves as an excellent investment opportunity for those willing to realize its full potential.
