A grand seven-bedroomed house in the centre of Cockermouth, currently used as a 'five-star holiday destination', is for sale for the first time in decades.
The characterful, Grade II listed property at number six Castlegate, offers a generous amount of living and social space.
Its imposing appearance is complete with a 'handsome' front door flanked by four stone columns.
Entering the house reveals a 'cavernous' entrance hall embellished with original wooden panelling, oak floors, and an original central staircase.

"The home's availability on the open market for the first time in over three decades is a rare opportunity.
"At this price point, it's an exceptional value for buyers, whether as a spacious family home or a holiday let for large groups.
"The property exudes character, retaining many of its late 18th-century architectural features.
"It's a true gem in a highly desirable market town, and I don't expect it to be on sale for long."
