The Heights is an impressive modern home with huge kerb appeal, a great layout and much potential, quietly tucked in away in a village that is handy for Cockermouth and Keswick.

The three-storey property - for sale with no onward chain - has bags of storage thanks to two garages which could be converted to a variety of uses. And it has stunning views from a balcony and the garden.

The Heights, which has been successfully run as a holiday cottage over recent years, is also conveniently situated for Cockermouth Cottage Hospital and the well-regarded Cockermouth School.

The accommodation on offer is ready to move into and consists of an entrance hall leading to a lounge with French doors to the balcony.

The large living room - 20ft at nearly 12ft - has a wall-mounted electric fire and there is a third reception room with double doors through to a third reception room used as a dining room.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of modern wall and floor units with solid wood worktops and integrated appliances of induction hob with chimney extractor over, dishwasher, electric oven, microwave, wine chiller and fridge.

French doors open to a patio at the back of the house and the layout on this floor is completed by a cloakroom with built-in cupboard.

From the first-floor landing, where a cupboard houses the water tank and there is loft access, doors lead to the four double bedrooms.

The master bedroom has two windows and an en-suite bathroom and a second bedroom has an en-suite shower room.

The other two bedroom share the contemporary family bathroom which has a whirlpool bath, bidet and ladder-style radiator.

On the lower-ground floor of The Heights is the utility room which has a floor cabinet and plumbing for a washing machine, two garages and a toilet.

Outside the house are a lawned garden at the front with generous block-paved driveway leading to the garages and a landscaped back garden with tiers, lawned areas to side and rear, a patio and a decked seating area.
