Dawson Croft, Sandwith, Whitehaven CA28

Constructed in 2016 and thoughtfully designed to mirror the traditional farmhouse style typical of the area, Dawson Croft blends charming character with high-quality contemporary interiors. Tucked away in the peaceful village of Sandwith, it offers the perfect balance of rural tranquility and convenient access to Whitehaven, Sellafield and the western Lake District.

Finished to an excellent standard throughout, the accommodation is spacious, versatile and absolutely ready to move into. A welcoming entrance porch opens to the hallway, with a stylish ground floor shower room. The heart of the home is a beautiful open-plan kitchen, complete with a central island unit and SMEG appliances, seamlessly flowing into a bright dining area and snug with a cosy wood burner and French doors to a landscaped patio. Beyond the snug, a spectacular reception room with a vaulted ceiling and full-height glazing frames breathtaking views over the grounds.

Practical touches include a large utility room and a boot room/home office, perfect for modern family life. Upstairs, a solid oak staircase leads to an open landing with a striking arched picture window. There are three double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an en-suite, plus a contemporary family bathroom.

Externally, Dawson Croft truly excels. Surrounding the house are beautiful formal gardens, patios, lush lawns, orchard and a charming potting shed (currently used as a gym). Gated access leads into the fields and grounds beyond, which extend to circa 9 acres (3.64 ha), including three well-maintained, fenced paddocks and a most idyllic private woodland walk between them, perfect for families, equestrian buyers, or perhaps a boutique glamping venture, particularly with the Coast to Coast route nearby.

Additional outbuildings include a detached garage with WC offering excellent conversion potential (subject to consents), two substantial agricultural barns with power, light and water supply, and ample driveway parking. There is also a separate lawned area that could offer scope for further development, subject to planning.

A very light local occupancy clause applies, please contact the agent for further details.
