You Know Those Idyllic Cumbrian Cottages You See In Glossy Magazines And Think “One Day…”? This Is The Cottage. Today’s The Day. It’s gorgeous inside and out – the hard part won’t be buying it or moving in, it’ll be never wanting to leave again. Some homes just feel like they’ve got it right. Thoughtful details, a quiet confidence and a finish that elevates everyday moments…without trying too hard. This one’s in Bridekirk – a peaceful little village just off the A595. Inside, everything’s been thoughtfully considered. The kitchen combines soft grey cabinetry, stone worktops and a Belfast sink with just the right mix of texture and warmth. There’s room to cook, room to chat, and a separate utility to keep things looking effortlessly tidy. The lounge is a proper retreat – with a log burner, an original beam, built-in storage and enough room to stretch out. The bathroom’s downstairs, but with twin sinks, a walk-in shower, granite finishes and underfloor heating, you won’t be complaining. Upstairs, you’ll find two calm, spacious doubles and a decent sized single – all finished to the same high standard and ready to make your own. The garden’s a great size too. There’s a brick-paved drive at the rear with space for three cars, a big timber shed for garden kit, and a lawn that catches the sun for most of the day. The raised patio’s a bonus – quiet, private and perfect for a glass of something chilled. Bridekirk Dovenby Primary (rated “Outstanding” by Ofsted) is just down the road, and Cockermouth School is less than ten minutes by car.  You’re only a 25 minutes walk from the River Derwent and just 15 minutes by car to the quieter shores of Bassenthwaite. This cottage really wouldn’t look out of place in a glossy magazine – calm, beautifully styled and as functional as it is photogenic. Rather than turning the page and thinking “One day…” call now to arrange a viewing.
