Bridekirk, Cockermouth, CA13 0PE

Property Description

Go Ape With Your Own Woodland Zipwire And Cabin. Is this the ultimate luxury home for active families? The kids will love the outdoor thrills. And the grown-ups will love the superb sociable layout, fabulous kitchen and gorgeous master bedroom suite. 

This stunning luxury family home is a dream come true for families who love to live life to the full.

It’s set in around 1.75 acres, comes with a sun-trap back garden that demands you throw a lavish housewarming party and has its own private woodland, complete with a campfire clearing and a zipwire! 

Just think of the adventures the kids could have, building dens, exploring the trees and whizzing through the air on the zipwire. You’ll never get a better chance to persuade them to put their devices down and let their imaginations run wild.

Inside, the house has been completely transformed by the current owners.  

Stepping through the front door, you're greeted by a stunning double height hallway, leading your eye to the heart of the family home - the open-plan kitchen and dining area.  

The kitchen itself is a chef's dream, with sleek units, ample work surfaces and top of the range integrated appliances (and before you ask, of course it includes a Quooker tap…).  

The huge L-shaped island is perfect for casual dining or chatting with friends over a glass of wine (from the built-in wine cooler or separate wine cellar). 

Most of the ground floor is an open plan, seamless sociable space. The kitchen flows into the dining room which then leads to the living room/conservatory at the rear which gives fantastic views of the garden.  

But there’s also a separate, spacious living room with a traditional stove and bi-fold doors to the garden - perfect if you need somewhere to escape and unwind in peace.

Similarly if you work from home there’s an office/study just off the hall, so you can make a call or check your emails without distraction.

A separate utility / boot room keeps the muddy boots and laundry out of sight, giving you a fighting chance of keeping the main living areas clean for at least a few minutes.

There are 5 double bedrooms upstairs, all branching off the landing - with its beautiful glass balustrades that allow you to look down on the entrance hall below.

The master bedroom is huge. There’s space for the biggest Super Caesar bed and a seating area, with a Juliet balcony overlooking the back garden and a gorgeous ensuite shower room.

There are four more double bedrooms (one with an ensuite shower room) along with the luxurious family bathroom.

Outside, the back garden is something special.  

There’s a large lawn with a sunken trampoline and plenty of space for children to play, while mature trees and shrubs offer privacy and seclusion.  

There are multiple seating areas that are perfectly positioned to catch the sun throughout the day, whether you're enjoying a morning coffee, a BBQ stretching into the evening or a late night dip in the hot tub.  

There’s a separate cabin that’s a versatile addition to the garden. It’s currently used as a well-equipped gym but it could easily be turned into a home office, games room or a teenage den.

And then there's the woodland... a haven for wildlife and a magical place for children and grown-ups to explore. Imagine toasting marshmallows around a campfire, building dens and creating unforgettable childhood memories. 

With its own zipwire and plenty of space for a treehouse, this woodland is the ultimate adventure playground waiting to be discovered.

This superb family home is located on the edge of Bridekirk, a small village just off the A595. If you want a change from exploring your own private woodland there’s plenty of open fields to explore and it’s only a 25 minute walk to the river Derwent.

There’s no public transport to the village so you will need a car. Thankfully there’s space to park a small fleet of cars on the gated drive.

Cockermouth is only a short drive away, with a good choice of shops, cafés, restaurants and schools. It’s less than a 40 minute drive to the centre of Carlisle making it a practical daily commute or great for a weekend shopping trip. Or you could drive to Aspatria, leave the car and hop on the train if you didn’t want to deal with city centre parking and traffic.

Cockermouth School (for 11 - 18 year olds) is around 10 minutes drive away and Bridekirk Dovenby Primary School (rated “Outstanding” by Ofsted) is only 2 minute drive away, between Bridekirk and Dovenby village.

The Lake District National Park is also within easy reach. Bassenthwaite is the closest lake - it’s around 15 minutes drive to the northwestern shore or around 40 minutes in the saddle.

If you're looking for a luxurious family home with a real sense of adventure and fun, then this could be the perfect property for you.  

We’re expecting plenty of interest from discerning families who want to live life to the full, so call 01900 878350 to arrange a viewing.
