Vicarage Lane, Cockermouth

Individually designed and expertly constructed in the 1980s, this outstanding detached home was comprehensively and thoughtfully refurbished to an impeccable, first-class specification just eight years ago. Perfectly situated in a highly sought-after location, it offers easy access to the Northern Lake District and the thriving market town of Cockermouth, celebrated for its independent shops and eateries, not to mention great leisure and school facilities.
Inside, every detail has been carefully considered and delivers a great balance of generous living, bedroom and storage space. The spacious entrance lobby leads into the inner hall with a comfortable and sunny sitting room off with sun room beyond which spills out onto the patio. An open plan kitchen/diner/snug is perfect to enjoy your morning coffee or evening tipple and the three bedrooms (one with a stylish en-suite) provide ample space. The wet room and utility room are great additions.
The property’s private setting is enhanced by a delightful garden – a true sanctuary, bursting with colour and centred around a perfectly kept lawn. A substantial 1.5 garage and large driveway complete this exceptional home.

Owner's Comments - “The bungalow is well designed, spacious and easy to look after. It is in an ideal location to be able to walk into town.
I enjoy sitting in the conservatory through all the seasons looking at the well maintained colourful garden. Then in the Summer the patio gets plenty of sunshine throughout the day, so is a lovely place to sit”
