This home from home is located in the pretty village of Bridekirk, 2 miles from the market town of Cockermouth, the birthplace of Wordsworth, where you will be spoilt for choice by the large number of shops and eateries. Bassenthwaite Lake and Lakes Distillery are within 8 miles, and Keswick is only 17 miles away offering an abundance of shops, pubs, restaurants, and a theatre. This area offers the perfect base to explore the Northern Lakes; the magnificent fells and peaks of Blencathra and Skiddaw are close by offering great walking opportunities. Visit Whinlatter Forest and follow the Gruffalo trail – it’s also a great place for mountain biking. The local area is a haven for mountaineering, rock climbing, horse riding, paragliding, and there’s a wide selection of water sports on offer including windsurfing, canoeing, kayaking and paddle boarding. The Lakes Wildlife Park is only 10 miles away offering a fun day out for all the family. Even on a wet day, there’s plenty to do; visit the Aquarium at Maryport, try the indoor climbing walls at Keswick or book a spa day and chill.

Entering the property, you will walk into the contemporary, stylish kitchen with its island and breakfast bar area; this room offers a fabulous space to get together and catch up over a glass of wine. The kitchen is well equipped with an electric oven and hob, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, coffee machine and a washer/dryer. There is a handy WC off the kitchen next to the back door. The lounge follows through from the kitchen and offers a real haven in which to kick back and relax after a busy day exploring. The attention to detail in this house does not go unnoticed; there is a lovely fireplace with a beam mantle and a wood-burner effect electric fire. The mix of contemporary styling with the original features, such as the cast-iron radiators and beams, gives this property a high-end finish. There are comfortable sofas and a dining area to the rear of the room. Head back into the kitchen and head up the stairs to the first floor. Here, you will find three bedrooms: a pretty twin bedroom with an original feature fireplace, a double with a low cottage window and views over the village, and a king size bedroom with an en-suite shower and WC – this bedroom has views over the open fields. Finally, there is a family bathroom along the landing with a bath, separate walk-in shower and WC.

Outside, there is a private drive that offers ample private parking for up to three cars and there is a raised garden with a lawn and seating area overlooking the fields. The garden boasts a delightful summer house and offers a fabulous spot to enjoy breakfast or sit out in the evening and catch up with friends. House Rules
