Strawberry How, Cockermouth

"Strawberry How" is a prestigious development located on the edge of Cockermouth which was converted from the former Grammar School approximately 20 years ago.
This particular property is located at the front of the development and comprises a two bedroomed "cottage" with a superb lounge/dining room with 4 windows giving lots of natural light. The kitchen is practical and well fitted and upstairs there are two good sized bedrooms and a bathroom, all of which have just been redecorated. Parking, outside space, a courtyard and large store complete the package.
Strawberry How is perfectly located for access to Lorton and those beautiful fells along with Loweswater, Crummock and Buttermere and there's quick access to the A66, the town centre and all our great schools, shops and facilities are within 1 mile.
The property will suit multiple people from investors (it will make a fabulous "lock up and leave or holiday home") and first time buyers (perfect for you to put your mark on it) as well those who work from home and those looking to downsize.
