Southwaite, Cockermouth, CA13 0RF

Holiday Let Heaven, A Weekend Wonder Or A Stress-Free Second Home? Down by the river with easy parking, a bright vaulted ceiling layout and a private balcony, this modern cottage makes for an ideal holiday let or a simple and secure Lakes retreat.

Set just steps from the River Cocker and only 10 minutes drive from Cockermouth, this character-packed 1-bed gives you options. 

Whether you’re staying for the weekend or letting it out to holidaymaker guests, with no garden to manage and courtyard parking right out front, it’s the perfect setup to help you switch off and soak up the views.

Inside, the upper floor rooms feel light and spacious thanks to the high vaulted ceilings with exposed beams. 

The modern & stylish open-plan kitchen diner gives you plenty of room to cook, relax or work from home if needed

And with three windows in the bedroom flooding the room with light, mornings feel bright even before you’ve brewed the coffee.

The lounge opens out onto a small balcony - just enough space for a couple of chairs, a book and a cup of tea. 

From here, the view over the nearby bridge is charming in every season, especially with birdsong from the river as your background soundtrack.

Downstairs, you’ve got a modern bathroom and a separate WC.

There’s even a basement (untapped, but potentially useful), giving you a bit more flexibility and storage space than you may expect.

Previously run as a successful holiday let, the location makes total sense: a peaceful spot that’s only a 2 hour walk to Bassenthwaite Lake and just a 10-minute drive into the town centre. 

Or if you’re in the mood to wander, you could follow the river all the way into town - it’ll probably take a couple of hours, but the scenery will make every step worthwhile.

Whether you're looking to tap into the enduring National Park staycation market or secure yourselves a place to escape without the hassle, this modern riverside cottage could be the perfect fit.

And if you fall in love with the picture postcard setting and that inspires much bigger plans - or you’re thinking about combining work and pleasure - the spacious three-bed next door (The Mill) is also available.

Just think, if you buy both it will give you so much more flexibility for family stays, multi-generational trips or an upsized retreat of your own!
