This Former Fire Station Flat Is Smoking Hot - But Don’t Call 999 - Call Us! With stylish open-plan living, a private garden and a close-to-town location minutes from everything, this two-bed ground floor apartment is anything but ordinary.

Fancy living in a converted fire station? It doesn’t matter if you’re more Fireman Sam than Red Adair, this one-off garden flat delivers the kind of character, space and spec that’ll set your property search alight.

You’ve got your own entrance, a private suntrap garden and a unique U-shaped open-plan kitchen/lounge/diner. Slide open the French doors and you’ve got instant outdoor living.

The modern fitted kitchen is tucked out of view from the living space but still feels connected - ideal for keeping the mess out of sight while staying part of the conversation. It’s stylish and well equipped, with black metro tiles, built-in appliances and even a wine fridge.

Both bedrooms are doubles, with the main one benefitting from a stylish ensuite and garden views.

The second bedroom sits right beside the stylish family bathroom, which features a double rainfall shower and floor-to-ceiling tiles that feel far more boutique hotel than standard flat.

Storage is another box that’s firmly ticked - there’s a handy utility room, accessed through a separate pantry-style store, and extra cupboard in the hall.

If you have a car there are parking spaces that can be bought separately but the convenient location means you may not need one. You can walk to the town centre shops - it only takes around 10 minutes to reach Main Street, with Sainsbury’s and Lidl just round the corner.

If you need to walk the dog or give the kids space to burn off some excess energy it’s only a short (roughly 7 minute) stroll to Harris Park.

If you like to get out and enjoy the open countryside Cockermouth is a great base from which you can explore the National Park. Bassenthwaite is the closest lake, it’s less than a 10 minute drive away or around half an hour on your bike.

Whether you're chasing something quirky, looking to downsize without compromise, or simply want a ground floor garden flat with proper personality - this is it.

Don't call 999 - call us and get your viewing booked in - because hot properties like this will get snapped up fast!
