Firefighters Would Slide Down A Pole To Go To Work, You Can Climb Your Spiral Stairs Instead. With a bedroom balcony, a bonus top-floor studio / office and a stylish but quirky layout, this converted fire station flat stands out for all the right reasons.
You might not be sliding down a pole to save lives - but you could be rushing up your spiral stairs for an important Zoom call. This unusual 2 bedroom flat has the perfect layout for work-life balance - and just enough quirky features to make it a conversation starter.
Set on the first floor of this former-train-station-turned-fire-station conversion, you’ve got two proper double bedrooms, a light-filled lounge, modern kitchen and bathroom, and an unexpected extra: a spiral staircase leading to a versatile top-floor studio space.
Whether you use the upstairs for work, gaming, guests or just somewhere to escape with a book, it adds an extra level that most flats simply don’t have.
Back downstairs, the main living area is bright and welcoming, with high ceilings, large windows and plenty of room for both lounging and dining. The modern kitchen is separate but still connected to the action, with a vaulted ceiling that lets in light from above and a range of integrated appliances tucked neatly into the layout.
The two double bedrooms have their own unique features, with the front bedroom enjoying access to a private balcony that’s perfect for morning coffee or a bit of evening downtime. The rear bedroom has an ensuite, while the stylish family bathroom features a rainfall shower, sleek tiles and all the modern finishes you’d expect.
This is a modern home with bags of personality. You’ve got architectural quirks, a split-level layout, and thoughtful details that make it feel anything but run-of-the-mill.
And while it’s tucked away in a peaceful, elevated setting, you’re only a short walk from the centre of Cockermouth.
If you have a car there are parking spaces that can be bought separately but the convenient location means you may not need one. You can walk to the town centre shops - it only takes around 10 minutes to reach Main Street, with Sainsbury’s and Lidl just round the corner.
If you need to walk the dog or give the kids space to burn off some excess energy it’s only a short (roughly 7 minute) stroll to Harris Park.
If you like to get out and enjoy the open countryside Cockermouth is a great base from which you can explore the National Park. Bassenthwaite is the closest lake, it’s less than a 10 minute drive away or around half an hour on your bike.
Whether it’s the balcony, the bonus room or that brilliant spiral staircase, Flat 15 The Station House is bold, a bit unexpected and refreshingly different - exactly what you’d hope for from a flat in a former fire station.
There’s no need to slide down anything to arrange your viewing - just give us a call.
