You may have travelled down Kirkgate many a time and never realised this property was here. Set back across the original cobble pavement, through an eye-catching archway is this charming cottage. The property is set away from the main road and it is not only incredibly quiet but also feels very private. A gentle stroll will put you within the heart of Cockermouth, with its wide range of shops, cafés and bars. This property will be a superb choice of home for a first time buyer but may also attract the attention of someone looking for a holiday let or holiday home. It will be ideal for either due to its close proximity to the western lakes, surrounding fells and also the Cumbrian coastline, which can be reached in a 15 minute drive. The property has undergone a complete transformation, yet retains plenty of charm and character. As you arrive at the property, through the arch, you will feel like you have been taken back in time. On entering the property you will find that you have everything you need for modern living. There is a vestibule which leads through to a lovely lounge with a feature fireplace. Lounge leads through to a fabulous kitchen which has never been used as it has only been recently installed and there is even a window seat from which to enjoy your morning coffee. Heading up to the first floor, via the lovely curved staircase, you arrive at the landing where there is a versatile area of the home. Whether you would like a dressing area, walk-through wardrobe or perhaps a home office, this may well be what you have been looking for. The bedroom is a spacious double and enjoys plenty of storage and pleasant outlook. The bathroom is located on the first floor and is a stylish bathroom, which like the rest of the property is in superb condition. Properties like this are a little rare. Ready to move into, walking distance to town and plenty of character.
