About this property
For couples seeking a mix of countryside charm and cultural discoveries, a stay in this ground-floor apartment less than 500 metres from Cockermouth’s centre is a winning choice. This lively Cumbrian market town has a warm and friendly feel, with independent shops, artisan cafes, and tempting restaurants. Begin your stay with a visit to nearby Wordsworth House and Gardens – the Georgian townhouse where poet William Wordsworth was born. Enjoy a walk along the River Derwent or stop at the local brewery for a tour and beer sample. Head to the Lorton Valley where you’ll find glorious walking routes around Loweswater, Crummock Water, and Buttermere. A highlight for art and nature lovers is Brackenthwaite Hows (7.5 miles) – the scenic spot that inspired a painting by J.M.W. Turner. In summer, a free shuttle bus from town takes you to Buttermere (10 miles) for a car-free day out.
Step through the shared entrance hall of this welcoming apartment and into your private, ground-floor sanctuary. Be greeted by a whitewashed, open-plan living space that combines a neat kitchen with a restful lounge and dining space. Unwind in the lounge after days of adventure, sinking into the soft seating as the Smart TV streams your favourite shows. When stomachs rumble, find all you need in the airy kitchen space to cook up a Cumbrian feast, which can be enjoyed at the window-side dining table for two. At the end of each busy day away, retire to the restful king-size bedroom which boasts an en-suite shower room with a walk-in shower, and tall doors that lead out to the enclosed garden space.
Outside, a small, enclosed garden with outdoor furniture offers a peaceful setting for morning coffees and evening tipples. Guests will also find a shared front garden for extra space as well as private parking for two cars just across from the property.
