Owners Comments - In the owners words “Our parents bought 3 Harrot Hill in 1993 and it’s been a wonderful place to live. It’s close enough to all the amenities and attractions Cockermouth has to offer but is in a quiet but friendly neighbourhood. The neighbours are lovely! The town bus stops conveniently close by, making the uphill walk from the town optional. The dual aspect of the through living/dining room, with views of the hills to the front and the sunny garden to the rear, is always a treat. Without driving anywhere there are pleasant walks and parks nearby. The house itself is warm and welcoming, ready now for someone to put their stamp on it. We hope they will be as happy as we have been."
Great Space! - Built in the 1980s by a highly respected builder, the homes on Harrot Hill are known for their generous proportions and thoughtfully designed living spaces—perfect for modern family life. Ideally positioned on the edge of town with excellent access to the A66, this sought-after location continues to prove popular with buyers. Having been lovingly held by the current owner for over 30 years, this property now offers an exciting opportunity for someone to create a truly special home. Inside, the light-filled accommodation features a spacious lounge/dining area, a well-sized kitchen with adjoining utility space, and the convenience of a downstairs WC. Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. Outside, there’s off-road parking via a private driveway, a single garage, and a surprisingly large rear garden—perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or future enhancements.
Bags Of Potential But Cash Buyers Only - This property presents a fantastic opportunity for buyers keen to put their own stamp on a home and unlock its full potential. Offering a true blank canvas, it’s ideal for those looking to refurbish and upgrade to their own taste and specification.
It must be noted that remedial work is required to the ground floor due to historic subsidence caused by sulphates in the ground. The required works include, as a minimum, the removal and replacement of the ground floors, along with the installation of new fittings such as a kitchen, electrics, and plumbing—providing the perfect chance to create a beautifully modernised home from the ground up.
Because of the nature of the issue it will not be possible to obtain a mortgage, so cash purchasers only. Purchasers must make their own enquiries regarding the work required.
