The list price of £500,000 is within the realm of reasonableness for a property of this type in the area. Comparable properties, though limited in the data, show a range of prices. The inclusion of additional buildings (holiday let and chalet) potentially justifies the price, but the absence of precise square footage measurements for the main house makes a definitive price-per-square-foot analysis impossible and hinders a more precise assessment.

The property appears well-maintained from the photographs provided, although some areas show signs of requiring some modernising or updating. The kitchen, while functional, looks dated. Overall, the structure seems solid and in good working condition, but a degree of cosmetic refurbishment would likely enhance its value.

The property is located in a scenic area by the River Cocker, offering a tranquil setting. While not in the immediate town centre, its proximity to Cockermouth (with schools, shops and amenities) and the Lake District National Park makes it appealing to buyers seeking a balance between rural living and convenient access to services and attractions. The relatively short distances to several schools with ‘Good’ Ofsted ratings further enhances its appeal.

The property boasts a significant amount of land, as shown in the aerial views. This expansive outdoor space is a highly desirable feature, especially in a rural setting like this one, potentially adding considerable value. The presence of mature trees and well-maintained landscaping increases the land score further.
