Isaac House, Market Street, Cockermouth, CA13

This charming and beautifully presented two-bed Georgian home is in turnkey condition and ready for its next owner. Having been used previously as a residence, a second home, and a hugely successful holiday let, the options are open to suit a variety of needs. Perfectly positioned just minutes from the Market Place, Main Street, Church, River Cocker, schools, and sports facilities, it offers a fantastic lifestyle in the vibrant and friendly town of Cockermouth.

Set over four levels, the property has great kerb appeal and has been recently decorated internally. The accommodation includes a welcoming lounge with a functioning open fire, a kitchen with dining space, a spacious principal bedroom, and a beautifully appointed bathroom. The second bedroom, tucked away in the eaves, adds to the character of the home. Traditional Georgian features, abundant natural light, and generous living space enhance its charm.

A standout feature is the basement, which has its own separate access and has been fully tanked, making it ideal for conversion into a small studio, as it has been used for previously, with electrics and key renovation work already completed. The basement space offers the potential for a unique and secluded residence, it could also serve as a bolt-hole, Airbnb, or additional accommodation for the main home if required. Situated at the lowest level of the property, it can be accessed either via a trap door in the kitchen or through a communal lockable door between the terraces.

Externally, the property benefits from a shared courtyard outside of the basement studio, which is lockable and secure, providing a useful and private outdoor space. Additionally, to the front of the house, there is a small patio or seating area, a real sun trap and a lovely spot to enjoy the sunshine.

A rare find in Cockermouth town centre, the property also benefits from off-road parking for two vehicles - a true bonus in this sought-after location. As the property is being sold with no onward chain, it can be sold as seen, with the exception of personal items, meaning it truly is move-in or Airbnb ready. Any extra furniture or fittings would be at additional cost to the agreed sale price of the house.
