3 bed detached house for sale

Bridekirk, Cockermouth CA13

You Know Those Idyllic Cumbrian Cottages You See In Glossy Magazines And Think “One Day…”? This Is The Cottage. Today’s The Day. It’s gorgeous inside and out – the hard part won’t be buying it or moving in, it’ll be never wanting to leave again.

Some homes just feel like they’ve got it right. Thoughtful details, a quiet confidence and a finish that elevates everyday moments…without trying too hard.

This one’s in Bridekirk – a peaceful little village just off the A595.

Inside, everything’s been thoughtfully considered. The kitchen combines soft grey cabinetry, stone worktops and a Belfast sink with just the right mix of texture and warmth. There’s room to cook, room to chat, and a separate utility to keep things looking effortlessly tidy.

The lounge is a proper retreat – with a log burner, an original beam, built-in storage and enough room to stretch out. The bathroom’s downstairs, but with twin sinks, a walk-in shower, granite finishes and underfloor heating, you won’t be complaining.

Upstairs, you’ll find two calm, spacious doubles and a decent sized single – all finished to the same high standard and ready to make your own.

The garden’s a great size too. There’s a brick-paved drive at the rear with space for three cars, a big timber shed for garden kit, and a lawn that catches the sun for most of the day. The raised patio’s a bonus – quiet, private and perfect for a glass of something chilled.

Bridekirk Dovenby Primary (rated “Outstanding” by Ofsted) is just down the road, and Cockermouth School is less than ten minutes by car.

You’re only a 25 minutes walk from the River Derwent and just 15 minutes by car to the quieter shores of Bassenthwaite.

This cottage really wouldn’t look out of place in a glossy magazine – calm, beautifully styled and as functional as it is photogenic.

Rather than turning the page and thinking “One day…” call now to arrange a viewing.
