Site Adjacent To Rubby Banks House, Rubby Banks Road, Cockermouth, CA13

An extremely rare opportunity to build your own home. This large building plot (20 metres by 50 metres approximately) occupies a stunning setting within the beautiful Harris Park and has full planning granted for a four bedroom, detached house. Surrounded by mature woodland, with an elevated outlook over the river Cocker, yet just a five minute' walk to the town centre; the position is truly idyllic. 

Full details of the planning can be found on Cumberland Councils planning portal under reference number: FUL/2021/0042.

Situated in the heart of the beautiful Harris Park, with elevated views over the river Cocker and surrounded by mature woodland, yet only a five minute walk into Cockermouth town centre.

This is an unserviced plot, although we understand that all mains services are available in the road outside the plot. Prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries regarding this matter.  

From PFK Cockermouth office head along Main Street, turn right into Station Road, head through the traffic lights and, just before Lidl, turn left into New Road. Follow the road to the end and then turn right under the bridge. After approx 100 yards the plot can be found on the right hand side.

Local Amenities

This is a peaceful base from which to explore the magnificent surrounding countryside together with the lakes and fells of the Lake District National Park.
