Woodville Cottage

About this property

Nestled in the Georgian market town of Cockermouth in Cumbria is this spacious, four-bedroom detached house, Woodville Cottage. Boasting a superb location just a short distance away from the Lake District National Park and close to all local amenities, Woodville Cottage is a fantastic dwelling for a group or family of eight looking to explore the Lake District. Park up in one of two convenient off-road parking spaces, before unloading your bags and stepping into your new home-from-home. Be welcomed into the first of two sitting rooms where you can look forward to evenings curled up on the sofa as you enjoy the evenings entertainment courtesy of the TV. As you start to feel peckish, make your way into the kitchen/diner, where you can conjure up a delicious feast for your guests, utilising the double electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer and microwave, as well as a handy dishwasher for an easy clean up! Gather around the dining table to tuck-in to a hearty meal, as the wine is poured, and plans are made for the days ahead. After your meal, you can make sure the little ones are entertained in the second sitting room, where they can snuggle up and watch their favourite film on the TV, whilst you enjoy evening drinks out on the patio. Completing the ground-floor is a wet room, ideal for guests with limited mobility and a double bedroom. As the evening draws to a close, head up to the first floor where you will find four well-presented bedrooms, a king-size with en-suite shower room, two doubles and a twin, each with plenty of storage and served by a beautiful bathroom, ideal for blissful morning soaks with your favourite book. Explore the local town, where you will be spoilt for things to do right on your doorstep, including the National Trust site of Wordsworth House and Garden, where you can explore the interior of the famed poet’s home, along with two delightful art galleries where you can peruse an excellent selection of art walks, and picturesque walks along the River Derwent. For the keen putters in your party, Cockermouth Golf Club is the place to be, offering a marvellous 18-hole course with glorious views over the valley to Lorton Fells. Just a short drive away is Bassenthwaite Lake, where you can take to the waters and explore via boat, kayak, canoe and paddle board. If that’s not your thing, beautiful walks are available around the lake, as well as great fishing opportunities to hook your catch of the day! Near to the lake and promising a fun-filled day out is the Lake District Wildlife Park offering over 100 species of wildlife within a 25-acre park, there is also the fantastic Mirehouse Gardens, a grand manor home with gardens just waiting to be explored! Head further into the Lake District National Park to Keswick, home to the Derwent Pencil Museum, the Theatre By The Lake and the Derwent Island and House. For a getaway to the Lakes like no other, choose Woodville Cottage.

Cockermouth, a sleepy country market town in the Lake District's peaceful north-west corner, is only 13 miles from Keswick while being in a relatively unknown and unspoiled location. Among the town's most famous residents are William Wordsworth and Fletcher Christian (of Mutiny on the Bounty fame), who both were born here, and the National Trust has turned the Georgian family home where Wordsworth was born into a renowned tourist destination for visitors.
