Strawberry How, Cockermouth, CA13

A beautifully presented two-bedroom Grade II listed home, set within the impressive Strawberry How development on the edge of Cockermouth. Combining striking Victorian architecture with stylish modern interiors, this unique property offers characterful accommodation, two parking spaces and access to beautifully maintained communal gardens.

Originally dating from 1881, Strawberry How is a distinctive Victorian complex, instantly recognisable by its handsome red-brick façade, which provides a striking contrast to the traditional Cumbrian stone architecture associated with the area. The historic building was sympathetically converted into residential homes, retaining much of the architectural character and heritage that makes this Grade II listed development so distinctive.

This particular home is arranged over two floors and has been tastefully and stylishly decorated throughout, successfully combining period character with contemporary finishes.

The ground floor is centred around an impressive open-plan lounge and dining room, where the generous ceiling height creates a wonderful feeling of space. A particular highlight is the beautiful original arched windows within the lounge, which flood the room with natural light and provide a striking reminder of the building's Victorian heritage. The staircase rises directly from the living area, adding further character to this unusual and appealing home.

An attractive arched opening leads through to the modern fitted kitchen, which has been thoughtfully designed with stylish cabinetry, contrasting work surfaces and a range of integrated appliances, creating a smart and practical cooking space.

Upstairs, the landing provides access to two well-presented bedrooms and the bathroom. The bedrooms are bright and inviting, with beautiful original sash windows adding period character and allowing plenty of natural light into the first-floor accommodation. The master bedroom also benefits from a large built-in wardrobe, providing excellent storage while maintaining the clean and uncluttered feel of the room.

The stylish bathroom has been finished to a high standard and features a contemporary suite with bath and overhead shower, complemented by attractive tiling and modern fittings. Another fantastic feature, is the furniture, all furniture can be left in the property subject to negotiation.

Externally, the setting is another of Strawberry How's major attractions. Residents can enjoy the beautifully maintained communal gardens, with established lawns, mature planting and landscaped areas creating an attractive setting around the historic red-brick buildings. The property also benefits from the convenience of two parking spaces outside.

Strawberry How occupies an excellent position on the edge of Cockermouth, providing an attractive residential setting while remaining just a short drive from the town centre and its excellent selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities.

The location also offers easy access to the Lake District National Park, making this an excellent base from which to enjoy the lakes, fells and wider Cumbrian countryside.

Offering a superb combination of Grade II listed Victorian architecture, original period features, stylish contemporary interiors, communal gardens and convenient parking, this is a distinctive and beautifully presented home in a highly appealing location. Please note, Airbnb and short-term holiday letting are not permitted within the development.
