Council Tax Band C
The Cottage is a rare find, with accommodation and buildings spanning 511 square metres. Comprising of a three-bed main home, there is is also a stunning entertaining hall, converted from an original barn and with double height celling and elevations, complete with it's own bathroom and kitchen. Coming in at 76 square metres, it has the scale of a secondary house and could be ideal for those looking to knock through and extend The Cottage, or perhaps suitable for intergenerational living.
Then there are two further barns, the first of which is a two floor artist's studio and the second being a full-two floor height building with vehicular access. The barns offer a wealth of opportunity including for trades, running a business, crafts and hobbies depending on the buyers' needs.
Externally there is a further office building served by it's own bathroom. Heating at the property is by oil fired central heating, whilst the Entertaining Hall has it's own biomass fired system.
Opposite The Cottage is a large orchard with views over an agricultural field and then onto the Solway Firth. This is Harridans wall territory, with Bousted Hill being closely located to the villages of Burgh-by-Sands (2.2 miles) and Bowness on Solway (5.7miles), on a road know as Cycle Route 72. This perhaps indicates another potential use for the outbuildings, as possible conversion to holiday accommodation (subject to planning consents).
Agent's often write that a property must be viewed to be appreciated, but in this case it is doubly true, as it is the best way to get a sense of the sheer opportunity and accommodation that is on offer. Firstly, why not take the online virtual tour and see for yourselves.
