Lamplugh Road, Cockermouth, CA13

Oakhurst Lodge is a truly exceptional, four bedroom, characterful detached lodge house that has undergone a fantastic renovation by the current owners, to create the spacious, family friendly home you see today. No expense has been spared in this beautiful transformation which seamlessly blends period details with modern day comforts.

The accommodation has a light and airy feeling. An open plan living/dining kitchen incorporates a snug with inglenook fireplace housing multi fuel stove, custom built staircase and balustrade, and access to the L-shaped dining kitchen area. The dining area, which bathes in natural light thanks to a large sky lantern and French doors which open out to the patio, can comfortably accommodate a ten-twelve person dining table yet still maintains a social layout with open access to a fantastic kitchen with integral appliances and island unit. A large lounge is an ideal family space, whilst a home office and utility room complete the ground floor. To the first floor are four spacious bedrooms and a four piece, family bathroom.

Externally the large gardens surround the property and enjoy immense privacy thanks to high stone boundary walls, mature trees and shrubbery, with side lawn garden and patio area, courtyard garden with storage outbuildings and sheltered patio and dining area, and a gated entrance to the stunning landscaped rear gardens.

It's extremely rare to find a lodge house in such a show stopping condition and an early viewing is a must to avoid missing out.

Occupying a semi-rural position on the edge of the highly popular market town of Cockermouth, which sits on the north western fringe of the Lake District National Park. Offering convenient access to Cockermouth's many shops and services as well as excellent commuter links to the A66 and M6.

Mains electricity & water; septic tank drainage; oil-fired central heating, double 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.

Continue to the edge of town and as you see Oakhurst garage on the right, take the left turn immediately opposite - Oakhurst Lodge can be found ahead of you.
