Homes of this style and stature are extremely hard to find in the town and rarely make it to the open market, so an early inspection is a must to avoid missing out on this superb property. 

Victoria Road is a highly desirable area conveniently situated centrally in the market town of Cockermouth, set within the north west fringe of the Lake District National Park. Ideally located for local schools, town centre amenities such as two parks both facilitating riverside walks, swimming pool, gymnasium and the thriving local restaurants and public houses. The Lake District National Park and Solway coast are just a short drive away making this an ideal location.

Mains electricity, gas, water & drainage. Gas fired central heating and single glazing installed throughout. Please note: The mention of any appliances/services within these particulars does not imply that they are in full and efficient working order.

From our offices on Main Street in Cockermouth, turn right along Station Street and then left at the traffic lights onto Lorton Street. Continue over the bridge, up the hill and the property can be found on the left hand side, on the corner of Kirkbank.
