Blindcrake, Cockermouth, CA13

Centrally located in the pretty Lake District village of Blindcrake near Cockermouth, Lowland Fells presents a rare opportunity to buy a single level dwelling with a large open plot as a home, redevelop the site adding new-build affordable housing or demolish the bungalow and build your forever home (please see agents note re planning). The property is set at the end of a long snaking drive running through lawned gardens approaching one acre with views out towards Skiddaw at the front. The plot benefits from vehicular access at both the front and the rear making it easier to divide the site. The bungalow itself includes an entrance hall, a lovely living room with box bay window, a modern kitchen/dining room, lean-to style conservatory, three double bedrooms and a modern fitted shower room. Surrounding the property is a generous parking area, a standalone garage/workshop and a decking area at the front overlooking the lovely grounds. This is a rare find with plenty of potential.

At the front of the property there is an enclosed decking area for lounging/dining.

Agents notes re Planning

The owners have explored the idea of demolishing the bungalow and building a "forever home" on the site, as well as sub-dividing the plot and building on the lower half of the site with Lake District Planners. Both concepts have received favourable pre-planning advice. The agent has letters on file about both concepts so contact us if interested in this element.
