Beckside Cottage is a detached dwelling in the Cockermouth Conservation area.
The cottage has undergone a significant amount of alterations in the past with the introduction of a large overhang to the eaves and full re-rendering. The applicant said that inappropriate materials were used for this process in the past. The application states that only a modest alternation to the internal layout is proposed.
