Cockermouth 3 miles • Carlisle 28 miles • Workington 6 miles 2 Maryport 5 miles (Distances approximate)
Approximately 5,766 square feet. Significant potential for home office and bed and breakfast accommodation. Pretty/private walled garden. Private drive and parking. In all about 0.3 acres Situation Great Broughton lies on the northern edge of the Lake District National Park just outside the town of Cockermouth, well known as the birthplace of William Wordsworth (who is known to have visited Derwent Bank) and where the River Cocker joins the River Derwent. Cockermouth is one of 51 towns in Great Britain listed by the Council for British architecture as a town recommended for preservation by the state as part of the National Heritage. Carlisle, with its main line railway station and access to the M6, is only 28 miles to the north east. Keswick and Derwent Water, together with Skiddaw, Bassenthwaite Lake and the Lorton Valley are close by within the National Park.
Cockermouth has an excellent range of services and shops. There is a wide choice of both primary and secondary schools in the town and outlying area. Great Broughton is in the catchment area for Cockermouth Senior School and has its own primary school, as well as four popular pubs, village shop/post office and an artisan bakery. Derwent Bank is surrounded by beautiful countryside and scenery providing excellent sporting and leisure facilities/opportunities. Fell walking is probably the most popular activity in the Lake District National Park and it is certainly the best way to enjoy to the full the exceptional beauty of Cumbria. There is good salmon fishing on the River Derwent, whilst it is possible to sail at Bassenthwaite Lake and off the Solway Coast at Whitehaven (12 miles). Cockermouth has its own golf course. The property Dating from around 1760 Derwent Bank is an attractive family house with a pale pink rendered finish, a slate roof and feature dormer windows. Of particular note is the amount of living space it provides, complemented by the conservatory/covered terrace running the full length of the house and overlooking the attractive garden. It has been a very happy family house over the years. Despite being in need of some modernisation, Derwent Bank has huge potential to carry on in that vein, perhaps with some of the house being used to generate income through bed and breakfast or, subject to the necessary consents, by making use of the second kitchen to create a self-contained (holiday) annex/granny-flat. The games room has an ensuite bathroom; it could easily be adapted for use as the main bedroom in the house. Much of the garden is enclosed by a stone wall with stone gate posts at the entrance and a tarmac drive leading around to the back of the house and the parking area. Directions (CA13 0XS) From Cockermouth follow A66 towards Workington and take the right hand turn signposted Great Broughton and follow the road over the River Derwent. On entering the village, Derwent Bank is on the right hand side, behind its stone wall, just on the Little Broughton junction.
