Description

White Hill offers an exciting opportunity to renovate a detached three-bedroom home set in 1.26 acres in the heart of the Solway Coast National Landscape. With extensive gardens, barns and outbuildings offering development potential (subject to planning), this rural property combines peace, privacy and opportunity.

Occupying a wonderful rural position within the heart of the Solway Coast National Landscape, White Hill presents a rare opportunity to acquire a detached three-bedroom family home set within approximately 1.26 acres of gardens and grounds.

Positioned at the head of a private lane and surrounded by open countryside, the property offers peace, privacy and significant potential.

Whilst requiring complete refurbishment throughout, White Hill provides purchasers with the chance to create a superb family home tailored to their own tastes and requirements.

The generous plot includes extensive gardens to the front and rear, together with a substantial range of traditional barns and outbuildings currently utilised for storage. Subject to the necessary planning consents, these buildings may offer excellent scope for conversion or redevelopment, creating additional accommodation or an independent dwelling.

The property enjoys a highly desirable rural setting whilst remaining within easy reach of the market town of Wigton and the wider amenities of North Cumbria.

A highly attractive proposition for those seeking a renovation project, smallholding, lifestyle change or development opportunity in one of Cumbria's most picturesque coastal locations.

Please note: The adjoining farmer benefits from a right of way along the access lane to reach two neighbouring fields.
