What Could You Do With 12 Acres And A Blank Canvas Bungalow? Have you ever dreamed of a self-sufficient smallholding or room for horses to graze behind the back fence? A rare chance to totally transform your lifestyle - in a quiet hamlet on the edge of the National Park.
For most people who keep horses or want to run a smallholding, the land is always somewhere else. A rented field ten minutes down the road. A yard they hope doesn't get sold from under them. Here, your own 12 acres of grazing land opens directly off the back garden. You can see it from the kitchen window. You can walk out to it before breakfast. The bungalow itself is a genuine blank canvas. It's a well-maintained single-storey home that the same family has looked after and loved for over 70 years, and it’s now ready for new owners to make it their own.
It’s a genuine single-storey home (no ‘extra’ upstairs bedrooms), with two large double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a wide hallway that tells you immediately that there’s going to be plenty of space.There's also the possibility of a third bedroom within the existing layout, depending on how the new owner chooses to use it.
Every window in the bungalow looks out over open countryside - and the lounge and dining room both have windows on two sides, making the most of the light and the views.
The garden deserves its own mention. Established and expansive, it has been carefully tended over decades and wraps around the bungalow in greenery that would take years if you had to start again from scratch. It's a wonderful setting as it stands - and there's genuine scope here too, whether that's for creating a vegetable garden, a growing space for the smallholding, or adding an extension to the bungalow itself - subject to the usual planning consents. For the right buyer, the garden is as much of an exciting opportunity as the land behind it!
The hamlet itself is quiet in the way that actually means something - surrounded by open fields, with big, open Cumbrian skies in most directions and the National Park on your doorstep. Egremont is only a five minute drive away, with primary schools and West Lakes Academy for secondary-age pupils. Whitehaven, with its greater choice of supermarkets, restaurants and shops, is about ten minutes in the other direction. For everyday basics, the Spar in nearby Bigrigg is only a ten minute walk.
It’s rare to find a property with such a large plot of attached working land, an established garden and genuine renovation potential - especially in an idyllic setting like this.If you've ever dreamed of a different kind of daily life, this is a serious opportunity to bring those dreams to life.
