Blaithwaite House, Wigton

Blaithwaite Estate centres around a wonderful late 19th Century principal house set in beautiful gardens and parkland.

There is a significant range of ancillary buildings, which have been converted to create additional accommodation and event spaces. The property is now run as a diversified leisure business which also incorporates a substantial touring caravan site as well as a partially developed lodge park and ancillary woodlands. The property also benefits from a positive pre-planning application to significantly increase the lodge park provisions, to almost 100 units.

Blaithwaite Estate is situated in the heart of the Cumbrian countryside on the fringe of the Lake District, west of the market town of Wigton. The Estate is set in rolling countryside and centred around the historic Blaithwaite House, which sits in an elevated, yet sheltered position, set back from the road and accessed via private tree lined drive. The property has magnificent uninterrupted views over surrounding farmland, towards the Solway Firth.

The immediate surroundings comprise traditional livestock farms and undulating grassland, interspersed with attractive woodlands and framed to the south by the spectacular Lake District Fells.

There are good transport connections, with Carlisle only 16 miles away via the A595 and A596 where you can access the M6 motorway and the West Coast mainline. There are regular train services to London Euston taking approximately 3.5 hours.
