Low Lorton, Cockermouth, CA13 9UW

You’ll Struggle To Find A Project With A More Inspiring Setting. This three bedroom semi with a large garden is in the heart of a quiet National Park village, with scope to create a fabulous family home with a granny flat.

Low Lorton is a quiet village at the foot of the fells and less than 10 minutes drive to Cockermouth and only 15 minutes to Keswick.

It could be the perfect place to create your dream family home - the ideal base to explore the National Park, slightly removed from the tourist crowds.

And this three bedroom semi has the potential to create something truly special…but you’ll need to roll your sleeves up and get stuck in.

There’s plenty of space for a growing family with three reception rooms and a separate office. 

The kitchen has been recently updated but if you had the vision (and the budget) you may want to keep an open mind and look at the best way to utilise the ground floor space.

Upstairs has three bedrooms and a family bathroom that will need updating too.  There's scope to create a 4th bedroom upstairs with an ensuite.

But that’s not the exciting bit! 

As well as a huge 450m² (4,900 ft²) back garden with lovely views there’s a large garage/workshop attached which measures around 175m² (approx 1,900 ft²).

You’re unlikely to need all this space for parking so you could convert this into an ancillary annex for a granny flat or extra room for the teenagers as they get older.

Obviously if you were considering any significant changes you’d be advised to consult an architect and run everything past the council’s building control department and the planners.

Whatever you decide to do, when you’ve packed your tools away after a productive day you can enjoy a well-deserved pint in the award winning Wheatsheaf Inn, which is next door.

There is a well stocked village shop close to the school, so if you run out of the essentials the village shop is just a 10 minute walk away near the school.

This is a fantastic opportunity to get a substantial semi in the heart of a quiet village. 

It needs work but has the potential to create a fabulous family home - with the scope to convert the garage into another dwelling.

If you’ve got the appetite, vision and budget to get stuck into this project call to arrange a viewing.
