The Nook, Great Broughton, Cockermouth, CA13 0XD

Fell Views So Good You’ll Want To Sleep With The Curtains Open…With a smart, split-level layout and scenic views from almost every room, this fabulous family home lets you wake up to stunning fell views, cook in a dream kitchen and relax in some style.

This five/six bedroom detached home is stylish, spacious and fully equipped for modern family life. Whether you’re a large family, fond of welcoming weekend guests or working from home, there’s something for everyone.

It’s on a large plot that’s only 2 minutes walk from the centre of the village and yet it somehow manages to give you breathtaking views from almost every room.

The open-plan living and dining space is built for busy family life, with French doors leading out to the south-facing sun trap garden. When it gets colder, the stove in the dining room heats the whole house - it’s cosy, efficient and there’s no need to fire up the central heating.

If the open plan space is for day-to-day life, the large living room is where you can get together at the end of the day to relax and enjoy the amazing postcard view.

The kitchen is stylish and social, with high gloss handleless fitted units, a central island and everything built-in - from the plate warmer to the Bora induction hob and the Quooker tap. And if you love to cook, it’s the sort of space you’ll want to show off to friends and family.

There’s a separate utility room to keep the clutter contained, a generous study that’s ideal as a sixth double bedroom, plus a downstairs WC and access to the double garage.

Upstairs, three of the five bedrooms sit on the first floor, off a lovely mezzanine landing with beautiful glass and oak balustrades.

All three first floor bedrooms offer views of the fells. The main bedroom comes with a large ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, while the family bathroom has a smart four-piece suite.

The top floor has two more double bedrooms - one is currently used as a pool room (the pool table’s staying), and the other’s a blank canvas ready for whatever you need next.

Outside, the driveway can easily fit five cars without even thinking about the garage - and there’s easily enough room for a caravan or camper van. 

The back garden is sunny and south-facing, with a brick shed and new trellis to add a little extra privacy.

Great Broughton has everything you need day-to-day. It only takes 2 minutes to walk up to the pub, the village hall or the handy local shop – and when you need more, it’s less than 10 minutes to either Cockermouth or Maryport.

There’s no shortage of green space on your doorstep - the village is surrounded by open fields, with the River Derwent only a short walk away. 

The western shore of Bassenthwaite is just a 15-minute drive (or an ambitious 50 uphill cycle, if you’re feeling brave) and the A66 gives you easy access to the National Park.

And as it’s chain-free, if you’ve already sold or are moving out of rented accommodation, it should be a relatively quick and easy move.
