4 bed detached house for sale

Myacka, Little Broughton, Cockermouth CA13

Build A New Life - Not A New House. Leave planning applications and tile samples to someone else, while you move straight into this superb 2020 self-build with fell views, four big bedrooms and a superb kitchen-diner that knows how to throw a party.

Set on the edge of peaceful Little Broughton, this individually designed family home gives you all the space and style you’d expect from a self-build - just without the stress of doing it all yourself. No planning delays, no spiralling costs, no last-minute supply issues. Just keys in hand and a home that’s ready to live in.

The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen-dining-living space. It’s vast, bright and seriously well thought out, with granite worktops, a smart layout and bifold doors opening straight out to the garden.

Hosting’s easy, weekday life flows naturally, and there’s even a separate lounge at the front for when you just want a quiet evening in.

You’ll also find a full-sized utility room (bigger and better equipped than some kitchens!) plus a ground floor shower room - ideal for muddy boots, soggy dogs, or surprise guests.

Upstairs, all four bedrooms are doubles, with two sharing a stylish Jack & Jill ensuite.

The spa-like four-piece main bathroom has a gorgeous freestanding bath and a large walk-in shower to give you a little bit of luxury every day.

The setting is exactly what you’d want from a dream self-build. Just on the edge of the village, next to open fields with long views towards the fells. There’s a large gated driveway at the front and a large lawn with decking out back - perfect for kids, pets, and lazy summer evenings.

Little Broughton is a quiet village that’s a handy commuting distance to Cockermouth, Maryport or Workington - you can drive to all three towns in around 15 minutes.

There’s only one pub in the village but nearby Great Broughton has a choice of pubs, a village hall and a local store for your day to day essentials.

It’s not only convenient if you need to head into town, it offers easy access via the A66 to the National Park. Bassenthwaite is the closest lake, the western shore being less than 15 minutes drive (or a 50 minute uphill bike ride) away.

If you have young children, Broughton Primary School (rated “Good” by Ofsted) is only a 15 minute walk away.

For older kids, Cockermouth School (another “Good” school) is only 15 minutes drive away or around half an hour on the bus from the A66.

Built to a very high specification, with real care and attention, this is a unique, one-off home that does things properly. It even has its own septic tank with a direct pump to the mains - not particularly glamorous but important in allaying any rural drainage worries.

So if you’ve ever dreamed of building your perfect family home - but really didn’t fancy the hassle and stress - this could be your best decision yet.
