Housebuilder Lovell, the developer behind the new homes at The Laureates in Cockermouth, has a five-bedroom detached Whitehead home on offer for £449,995 with a layout and specification that is like no other new property in the local area.

And with just a handful of five-bedroom detached homes on the market in Cockermouth, Lovell Homes is bringing executive living to the heart of the Lakes, raising the bar for both luxury and layout, for under £½m.

Clare Noakes, regional sales director for Lovell in the North West, said: “Currently, our Whitehead property is the only new-build among the five-bedroom detached homes for sale in the local area, according to local data.

“We’re bringing a new style of executive living to Cockermouth with a home that is reaching new heights of specification and a fantastic layout that includes a fabulous master suite on the top floor, for under £500,000.”

With 2,149sq ft of living space, and boasting Lovell’s Platinum standard specification, the sprawling Whitehead style home features extra details that, with other builders, would often come with an extra cost.

To the front of the property lies the formal living room, while the rear has been designed for modern family living, with an open-plan kitchen dining area and a separate family room just off it.

The finishing touches are everywhere, from the integrated kitchen appliances and earthstone worktops, to the oak-finish wood throughout, fitted wardrobes, alarm and ceramic tiling in the kitchen and bathroom.

Upstairs, there are four good-sized bedrooms, two which share a Jack and Jill en-suite, along with the family bathroom with separate bath and shower.

At the very peak of this home is an exceptional master suite which takes over the whole of the top floor, complete with an en-suite, separate dressing room and study. An integrated garage completes this home.

Clare added: “Visitors to the development are always amazed by the master suite - it’s an unusual find in the area for under £½m.”

Set in the heart of the Lake District, The Laureates enjoys an idyllic setting with extensive landscaping and communal play areas, not to mention outstanding views, all near to Cockermouth’s charming high street.

There are also two, three and four-bedroom homes suitable for all budgets and with the high quality specification you would expect from Lovell Homes. Two-bedroom homes start from £174, 950.
