About this property
20 Lorton Street sits in the heart of Cockermouth, offering a stylish ground-floor apartment that makes a welcoming base for families or friends keen to enjoy the character and charm of this popular Cumbrian town. Well presented throughout and thoughtfully arranged, it provides an easy, sociable setting where holiday days begin and end comfortably. At the centre of the apartment is an open-plan living space designed for spending time together. The fully equipped kitchen is ideal for preparing everything from lazy breakfasts to hearty evening meals, while the dining area creates a natural place to gather, chat, and plan the next adventure.
After a day exploring, the lounge invites you to settle in with a film on the wall-mounted Smart TV, and one of the sofas cleverly converts into a sofa bed, offering flexible sleeping arrangements when needed. The sleeping accommodation is equally well considered. There is a stylish double bedroom and a cheerful bunk room, both providing hanging space and their own Smart TVs, giving everyone their own space to wind down. A sleek family bathroom completes the interior, featuring a bath with a shower over, perfect for a refreshing start to the day or a soothing soak in the evening. Step outside and you are immediately immersed in Cockermouth’s friendly atmosphere, with independent shops, cafés and traditional pubs close by.
The River Derwent provides a peaceful backdrop for gentle riverside walks, while the town itself is rich in heritage and culture. Visit Wordsworth House and Garden to learn about the poet’s early life, browse the town’s independent retailers, or enjoy the ever-changing scenery along the riverbanks. A little further afield, Keswick offers memorable days out, from discovering the Derwent Pencil Museum to taking a leisurely cruise on Derwentwater or walking up Latrigg for far-reaching views. Beyond this, the Lake District National Park opens up endless possibilities, including woodland trails at Whinlatter Forest Park, wildlife-rich landscapes, and quiet moments beside the shores of Bassenthwaite Lake.
Whatever the season, 20 Lorton Street provides a well-located and stylish retreat, perfectly placed for making the most of Cockermouth and the wider Lake District.
The small country market town of Cockermouth is situated in the quiet north-western part of the Lake District, a largely undiscovered and unspoilt area, yet only 13 miles from Keswick. The town is famous as the birthplace of both William Wordsworth and Fletcher Christian (of Mutiny on the Bounty fame) and Wordsworth’s Georgian family home, on the main street, is now a popular visitor attraction, owned by the National Trust. Cockermouth offers a good variety of shops, pubs and places to eat, but (of course) the main attraction of the area is the beautiful scenery and excellent walking in the northern lakes – Bassenthwaite Lake, Ennerdale Water and Derwent Water.
