Selling Features Of Sedbergh - Very sought after town to live in with excellent demand for properties as soon as they become available, for open market purchase and for investment purchase for letting.

Consistently few properties available, not only on the open market but also for local occupancy. Considerable number of job vacancies awaiting job seekers restrained by the lack of housing and therefore local occupancy.

Green credentials of newly built properties a really big selling point now because of the running costs of utilities.

Many residents have connections to the well known Sedbergh Independent School.

Significant Broadband available through B4RN - Broadband for the Rural North Ltd.

Viewing Arrangements - Strictly by appointment with Fisher Wrathall Commercial, 82 Penny Street, Lancaster, LA1 1XN.
