Smithy Green & The Smithy Cottage, Mosser, Cockermouth, Cumbria

Occupying a truly idyllic setting, to the fringe of the Lake District National Park, easily accessible to Cockermouth and the Buttermere Valley, a beautifully presented, 2/3 bedroom detached house, with adjacent, detached, 2 bedroom cottage, with pastoral outlooks set in generous landscaped gardens.

Offered to the market with no ongoing chain, having been fully and completely renovated by our clients in recent years, an outstanding opportunity to acquire a pair of cottages, in a peaceful rural setting, in this highly regarded and sought after area, less than 10 minutes from the centre of the thriving and bustling market town of Cockermouth to the north, and Loweswater to the south.

Sitting in generous gardens, with a woodland backdrop overlooking a gently flowing stream, making it a haven for wildlife, the property, as the name suggests, was occupied by the former blacksmith for the area.

The main residence, Smithy Green, comprises a detached cottage, believed to date to the late 1780's, which offers a flexible layout comprising separate sitting and dining rooms to the front, with a modern kitchen to the rear, with a selection of NEFF and Bosch built in appliances and an adjacent utility room. To the gable end is a stunning sunroom, with full height arched picture windows overlooking the stream, along with a wood burning stove.

To the first floor are 2 double bedrooms, a study (or optional 3rd bedroom) and a 4-piece bathroom.

The second residence, The Smithy, is a detached single storey property, built in local stone. This comprises an open plan kitchen living space, with 2 bedrooms and a shower room.

Currently operated on a part-time basis as a successful holiday let / Airbnb to suit the owners’ requirements, The Smithy generates a gross annual income of approximately £10,000. It also offers, subject to the necessary permissions, the potential as self-contained accommodation for a dependent relative, making it ideally suited to multi-generational living.

A rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored rural home with versatile ancillary accommodation in an idyllic setting. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the lifestyle and flexibility on offer.
