St Helens Street, Cockermouth, CA13

This deceptively spacious period townhouse in the heart of the town has more than a few surprises up its sleeve and will make an extremely versatile home. Located close to all the cafes, restaurants, shops and bars, the property includes arched gated access to the side leading down to a parking area and courtyard from which the grassy banks of Bitter Beck can be reached and enjoyed. The period, characterful home benefits from an internal lift rising from the ground floor kitchen to a first floor utility room so can accommodate the elderly or less mobile and the accommodation includes a ground floor family room, spacious fitted kitchen, a first floor living room, study/bedroom 4, first floor utility/shower room and a gorgeous Victorian style bathroom. To the top floor there is a fabulous main bedroom with vaulted ceiling plus an en-suite shower room and two further bedrooms. As you can see this offers plenty of potential and is a great buy!
