Sullart Street, Cockermouth

Set within a well-maintained and thoughtfully managed over-55s development, this apartment enjoys access to a range of communal facilities, including a residents’ lounge and attractive shared gardens, as well as the reassurance of an on-site estate manager. Additional practical benefits include available parking, lift and stairlift access to other floors, and the overall sense of security and community that the development provides.
It presents an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a comfortable, easily accessible home with significant potential for upgrading and features a well-proportioned double bedroom and a bright, open-plan living space, with French doors that open directly onto the communal gardens, allowing natural light to flood the interior and creating a pleasant, airy atmosphere throughout. While the apartment would benefit from a degree of modernisation and refurbishment, it offers a superb blank canvas for purchasers to tailor the space to their individual tastes and requirements, making it an appealing prospect for those looking to add value. There is also the added benefit of changing it back to a two bedroomed apartment by reinstating the wall between the lounge and current dining area.

Owners Comments - In the owners words “The flat has worked well for our family for many years due to the ground floor accessibility along with proximity to Sainsburys and the Main Street. We converted it to a one bedroomed flat as it suited our needs well that way but it would easily go back to being a two bedroomed flat".

Things You Need To Know - The property is Leasehold with a term of 150 years from 1989 and benefits from mains electric, water and drainage services.
