Challoner Street, Cockermouth, CA13

What a little gem! And with the potential to GENERATE SOME INCOME from the self-contained unit within the courtyard as well!
We love this smashing town centre double fronted property with its quaint feel yet modern and contemporary fittings. There are an abundance of traditional features including working shutters, fireplaces, old beams etc and the current d?cor really suits the ambience of the property. It s been well looked after over the years and offers two reception rooms, a recently fitted and stylish kitchen and three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. A side door from Challoner Street leads into a private and enclosed rear courtyard and there s also access to a tiny two storey building which could easily be transformed into a cottage for letting, whether it be on a long term tenancy or as Air BnB.
Come and see how it can work for you!
