Overview
Property code: 91886

This property is situated just a short walk from Cockermouth, the birthplace of William Wordsworth. A bustling market town with restaurants, local shops, cafes, art galleries, and play parks on your doorstep, it’s perfect for those looking to explore the Lakes for walking, cycling, swimming, and sightseeing. It’s also a great location to explore the Western Fells and Lakes – Scafell Pike, Grasmoor, Fleetwith Pike, Haystacks, Keswick and Buttermere are all within 30 miles. Whinlatter Forest is 7 miles away, where you can Go Ape or hire bikes and explore the great forest trails. The shore path at Bassenthwaite (8 miles) runs the length of the west shore leading to Keswick (12.5 miles) and makes for a lovely stroll. Visit the Lake District Wildlife Park (7 miles) for a walk on the wild side, or test your palette when enjoying a tour at the Lakes Distillery (5 miles). Taste Cumbria Food Festival is held in September in Cockermouth, with a huge range of local produce as well as live music.

This detached property with stunning views towards the Lorton Vale and Embleton Fells offers a great retreat for families and friends. Entering the property, you will find yourself in the bright hallway with a stunning marble-tiled floor. On the ground floor, you will find the front lounge with a Smart TV and comfortable seating – it is a great room to watch a good movie or play a competitive board game. To the rear of the property, there is a spacious, bright and contemporary open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with bi-folding doors that open onto the enclosed landscaped garden – this area is the ideal spot to enjoy breakfast and make plans for the day ahead. In the hallway under the stairs, you will find a handy WC. Heading upstairs to the first floor, there are four bedrooms: a super-king-size with an en-suite shower room, two double bedrooms and a twin room that share the family bathroom situated on the middle landing. The bedrooms have ample storage and have views over the rear garden or the fells in the distance from the front of the property.

There is a lovely, enclosed garden which is a great place to sit with a morning coffee or a good book on a sunny day, and there is secure storage in the garage for bikes and sports equipment.

Strawberryhow View was a beautifully decorated large property. The kitchen was well equipped making it perfect for self catering. The location is nice for visiting the Northern Lakes and if youre prepared to drive 45 mins Grasmere and Ambleside are also accessible. Wed definitely use this property again if returning to the area.

Great property large enclosed garden for any dogs, good location around 1 hour away from lake Windermere and 20 minutes to Keswick. The kitchen was slightly cluttered with things that didnt work. The beds were very comfortable. No first aid kit when we needed it.
