Tommy Gill, Papcastle, Cockermouth CA13

An Exceptional Country Residence Set in Approximately 2.6 Acres of Mature Grounds

Tommy Gill presents an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached dormer bungalow, set within approximately 2.6 acres of mature gardens and grounds in the highly desirable village of Papcastle. Constructed during the 1930s, this much-loved family home has been in the ownership of the current family since 1960, a testament to both the quality of the property and its enviable setting.

Occupying a wonderfully private position surrounded by established gardens, Tommy Gill enjoys an outstanding combination of peace, space and convenience, lying just a short distance from the thriving Georgian market town of Cockermouth and on the doorstep of the Lake District National Park.

Having been cherished by the same family for over six decades, the property has been lovingly maintained but remains largely in its original condition. It would now benefit from a comprehensive programme of modernisation and upgrading, presenting purchasers with a rare opportunity to enhance and personalise the accommodation while preserving the character and charm of this distinctive home.

The versatile accommodation is arranged over two floors, with the design of the dormer bungalow lending itself to a variety of lifestyles. Currently configured as a five-bedroom residence, the property also offers several generously proportioned reception rooms that provide excellent flexibility. Depending on individual requirements, one or more reception rooms could readily be adapted to create additional bedrooms, a home office, hobby rooms or accommodation suited to multi-generational living.

At the heart of the home is a spacious kitchen with ample room for family dining and entertaining, while the reception rooms enjoy delightful views across the surrounding gardens and grounds.

Externally, Tommy Gill is equally impressive. Extending to approximately 2.6 acres, the mature grounds comprise sweeping lawns, established trees, colourful planting and peaceful seating areas, providing exceptional privacy and a beautiful setting throughout the seasons. The gardens offer enormous potential for keen gardeners, families and those seeking an idyllic country lifestyle.

A tennis court is situated within the grounds and is included under a possessory title, rather than absolute freehold title. Further information regarding the title will be available from the selling agents.

The property also benefits from extensive private parking and generous outdoor space, completing what is a truly exceptional lifestyle opportunity.
