4 bedroom detached house

Why Buy New When Nearly New Is Even Better? You don’t have to live on a building site and you benefit from the current owner’s stylish improvements. It’s in a great location, with the countryside on your doorstep and still only 5 minutes from town.

This spacious detached family home was built by award winning Cumbrian builder Story Homes in 2017.

The current owners bought it a couple of years ago and it was still in pristine, showhome condition - we know because we sold it to them!

Since then they’ve set about making it even better. They’ve freshened it up with a stylish lick of paint and updated the flooring.

The stylish and modern open plan kitchen/dining room is where you’ll all enjoy getting together as a family. 

There’s space to sit and eat next to the French doors which give access to the large rear garden, making this house perfect for summer entertaining, inside and out.

It has one of the larger back gardens on the estate, with a paved seating area by the house and a well maintained lawn.

If the back of the house is where you get together, it means the grown-ups can retreat to the spacious front lounge to relax at the end of the day. 

The current owners must have had this in mind when they added a stylish media wall with an inset TV and electric fire, flanked on either side by extra storage space and display shelving. 

Upstairs there’s four double bedrooms (one with an en-suite) and the luxurious family bathroom with both a bath and a walk-in shower.

Strawberry Grange is a lovely development of 3, 4 and 5 bedroom properties that’s popular with families. And one advantage of buying nearly new rather than brand new is that all the building work has now been completed, so you won’t have to wake up to the sound of dumper trucks!

It’s perfect if you love getting out into the countryside - turn left onto Strawberry How Road and you’re only minutes from the National Park. 

The shores of Bassenthwaite Lake are less than 10 minutes drive away, or only half an hour on the bike. 

That doesn’t mean you’re out in the sticks. It’s only a 5 minute drive or 20 minute walk to the centre of Cockermouth. Here you’ll find a range of great independent shops, bars and restaurants along with all the national big names.

For families with younger children, All Saints CofE Primary School (rated “Good” by Ofsted) is less than a 5 minute drive away. 

For older kids, the journey to Cockermouth School (for 11 - 18 year olds) takes around the same time. 

It ticks the practical boxes too, with a double drive and a single garage that you can get to from the handy utility room.

This is a superb modern family home that has been made even better by the current owners.

It could be perfect if you’re looking for an immaculate family home in a convenient location that also makes getting into the countryside a breeze.
