WHY CUMBRIA? | LAKES HOME CENTRE, COCKERMOUTH

We couldn’t have picked a better day for this one! ☀️

On a perfect sunny day in Cockermouth, we caught up with Ellen Lister from Lakes Home Centre for the latest instalment of our Why Cumbria? series.

And if you’ve recently bought a house, you might want to pay particular attention to this one... 👀

Lakes Home Centre has pretty much everything you could need to turn a house into a home — furniture, flooring, homewares, everything for the garden and even a lovely coffee shop when you need a break from all that shopping! ☕️🏡

We also chatted about their New Home Buyers Discount Card, which gives home buyers 10% off — a fantastic offer when you consider just how much there is to buy when you move into a new home.

But Why Cumbria? isn’t just about showcasing great local businesses. We want to hear what the people behind them love about the places we call home.

A huge thank you to Ellen and everyone at Lakes Home Centre for welcoming us and getting involved.

🎥 Have a watch and discover a little more about one of Cockermouth’s fantastic independent businesses.

🌟PROPERTY OF THE DAY🌟

The Avenue, Gilgarran
4 Bed Detached Home
Offers Over £500,000

If this one hasn’t been on your radar yet, it probably should be. 👀

Because this isn’t just a big four-bedroom detached house. It’s the combination of space, finish, privacy and views that makes it stand out.

The star of the show has to be the 29ft+ sun room — a huge living space looking across the west-facing garden towards the coast and Scotland. The sort of room that works just as well for a quiet Sunday morning as it does with the house full of family and friends.

There are three reception rooms in total, a sleek modern kitchen with integrated appliances and breakfast bar, a separate utility, and even the downstairs cloakroom has been properly thought about rather than treated as an afterthought.

Upstairs, the main bedroom feels more like a suite, with far-reaching countryside views, its own walk-in dressing room and en-suite.

Outside is just as impressive.

The west-facing garden gets the sun from mid-morning right through to sunset, with several seating areas, a summerhouse, veg patch and open fields directly behind.

Then there’s the practical stuff:

🚗 Integral double garage
🚘 Parking for 4+ cars
🛏️ Three proper double bedrooms plus fourth bedroom/home office
🛁 Family bathroom, en-suite and downstairs cloakroom
🌅 West-facing garden
🌊 Sea and countryside views
🌿 Open fields directly behind

And despite the peaceful setting, you’re still only around 10–15 minutes from Workington and Whitehaven.

There aren’t many homes locally that give you this much space, this level of finish and this kind of outlook all together.

If you’re looking around the £500,000 mark, I’d definitely put this one on the viewing list.

Reviews like this mean a lot ❤️

A huge thank you to Natalie & Kevin for taking the time to send this lovely message to Claire following completion of their sale.

Not every property sale is straightforward, and some take far more perseverance than anyone would ever want. When a client describes a sale as “traumatic on so many levels”, getting them safely through to completion really matters.

Their words to Claire say it all:

“It would have never been possible without your perseverance and dedication to get the job done.”

We’re incredibly proud of the work Claire does behind the scenes, keeping things moving, chasing when needed and supporting people through what can be a stressful process.

Thank you again Natalie & Kevin for trusting us with your sale, and for such kind words. We’re delighted you finally got that completion day ❤️
