Derwent Row, Broughton Cross, Cockermouth, CA13 0TZ

Fields At The Front, A River At The Back, And A Bus Stop Two Minutes Away. Not bad for a terraced cottage that won't break the bank. This is what it feels like when the countryside actually comes with the postcode. Open fields stretching away from the front windows. The River Derwent rolling past the back. And a bus stop that's genuinely two minutes' walk away. For a two-bedroom stone cottage in the Cumbrian countryside, that's a combination that's harder to find than it sounds.

The cottage has two separate reception rooms, which gives it a flexibility that most terraced properties at this price point simply don't offer. You can have a sitting room that's actually for sitting in, and a dining room that does something genuinely different. That second room might become a workspace, a playroom, or simply somewhere to eat without clearing away the laptop first.

The kitchen is the most updated room in the house. White gloss units run the full width, with granite-effect worktops and a full suite of appliances - including a double oven and a fridge freezer - already in place, so there's no immediate outlay on white goods. The wood-effect floor adds warmth without trying too hard.

Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, with the main bedroom looking out over the countryside in front of the row.

The bathroom is also on the first floor, which isn't always the case with properties on this row - so there's no trudging downstairs in the middle of the night.

Above them, the loft room gives you a third space that can flex with whatever you need most right now, whether that's a home office if you're working remotely, a hobby room, or somewhere for the occasional overnight guest to sleep without feeling like an imposition.

The practical news is good, too. The roof was replaced in 2025. The gas boiler is believed to have been installed around 2022, so the kind of expenditure that tends to arrive without warning has been largely dealt with already. There's a small rear yard with access onto the communal lane behind the row.

The bus connections here are genuinely good for a village address - frequent enough, and well-routed enough, that you could live here quite comfortably without a car. The X5 and 600 services from the stops on Derwent View and Greysouthen Road End, both around a two-minute walk, run regularly into Cockermouth and Workington, with onward connections to Keswick, Penrith and Carlisle. Cockermouth town centre itself is only five to ten minutes by car, and has independent shops, cafés and supermarkets all within easy reach.

For families or anyone thinking ahead, St Bridget's C of E School in Brigham is around a six-minute walk, and Cockermouth School is included on the school transport network from Broughton Cross.

If you've been looking for a property with real character, a countryside setting that isn't just a phrase in a listing, and enough modern work done to move in without a project on your hands - this is the one that answers that description.
