Cottage in Cumbria in Cockermouth, Cumbria

Description
Tucked away in the heart of Cockermouth, this property is just a few steps from the local independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. Located on the River Derwent, Cockermouth dates back to Norman times but is full of grand Georgian architecture including Wordsworth House, which is open to the public. Also well worth a visit is the Jennings Brewery and Museum, where visitors can discover the 175 year old beer brewing process and sample the finished product. A 3 mile drive east of town will bring you to the western Lake District including Loweswater, 7.5 miles away, Crummock, 8 miles away, and Buttermere, 11 miles away, all of which offer breath taking lakeside views. An 8 mile drive west will bring you to the coast and the old industrial town of Workington, now the main shopping hub of West Cumbria, or Maryport, 7 miles away, home to an aquarium, Roman museum and go karting. Inside, this refurbished cottage is light, bright and full of character. Rustle up tasty meals in the compact yet well equipped kitchen, where you will find an electric oven and hob, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, microwave and coffee machine, plus a washing machine and tumble dryer tucked away around the corner.

A modern and bright shower room completes the ground floor. Steep stairs lead up to the first floor where two elegant double bedrooms are located.
