Description

A spacious three bedroom family home on the outskirts of the city, featuring three reception rooms, a large garden, garage, and workshop. To the rear lies a 5.8 acre paddock with separate roadside access, offering excellent potential for equestrian use or future residential development (STPP). A rare opportunity with significant scope for improvement and investment.

Exceptional Development Opportunity with 5.8 Acre Paddock

Located on the outskirts of the city, this spacious three double bedroom family home offers an outstanding combination of generous accommodation, substantial land, and exciting development potential.

To the rear of the property lies a 5.8 acre paddock with separate roadside access, positioned within a prime development area. An exceptional opportunity to acquire a prominent 2.31-hectare site on the outskirts of the city of Carlisle, offering outstanding potential for residential or mixed-use development (subject to planning).

The site includes Halfway House, a distinctive detached property with historic character, formerly The Admiral Nelson Inn, alongside garage and workshop, mature gardens, and open countryside views to front and rear.

Offering excellent refurbishment, conversion, or redevelopment potential, the property could form part of a wider scheme or be replaced to maximise site efficiency and yield.

Superbly located, the site benefits from strong transport links, proximity to local amenities, and connections to established residential areas, enhancing its appeal for a range of development strategies.

The site is allocated for housing (60 units). A previous application (Ref: 15/0924) was withdrawn, due to access issues, that have now been resolved. This leaves a blank canvas for new proposals to unlock the site’s full potential.

Offers will be considered on an overage basis if planning is secured for development.

Inside, the property provides flexible living space with three reception rooms, a kitchen, a family bathroom, and a ground floor shower room. Outside, there is a large rear garden, along with a garage and workshop, offering valuable additional storage and workspace.

Ideal for equestrian buyers or those seeking a small holding, the property requires some updating but presents remarkable scope for enhancement and future growth.
