Description
North house is a beautiful Victorian property boasting five double bedrooms over three floors, perfectly located on the historic promenade in the seaside town of Silloth.
Perched proudly on the historic promenade of Silloth, North House is a magnificent Victorian property that offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of the town’s rich heritage. Built in 1865 and owned by the same family since 1945, this striking home blends timeless elegance with versatile living spaces – making it ideal as a grand family residence, a dual-occupancy dwelling, or a character-filled holiday let. Set across three spacious floors, North House boasts five bedrooms, generous reception rooms, and spectacular views of the Solway Coast, sea, and surrounding green spaces. The property is packed with traditional features: soaring ceilings, ornate cornices, and grand windows with original wooden casings, flooding the interior with natural light and a sense of old-world grandeur.
Currently divided into two distinct living spaces, North House provides flexible options for modern living or investment. The lower Ground Floor property is accessed via its own private entrance via either a front or rear door. To the rear of the property a well finished kitchen offers modern units with built in appliances and space for a small breakfast table. Two large windows flood the space with light and provide fantastic views down the promenade.
Moving to the front of the property you enter the large, semi open plan, dining and living room. These two rooms can be closed off thanks to a set of glazed doors if required. The living room is a fantastic space to relax and socialise. The large bay window provides a simply breathtaking view of the sea and across to Criffel, the famous mountain on the Scottish side. A log burning stove ensures that this space remains comfortable in the colder months. The ground floor offers two double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The primary bedroom mirrors that of the living room, boasting high ceilings, traditional features and fantastic views. A feature fireplace acts as a focal point in room, finished in 1930’s decorative tiles.
The upper floors are accessed via an outside staircase on the side of the property. The top two floors offer very flexible accommodation with three bedrooms, an family room / home office space plus separate dining and living rooms, both on the front of the property to make the most of the natural light and expansive views. The top floor rooms are very generous and are differently styled, thanks to pitched ceilings and a large picture window. Each room provides a completely different perspective, either the green woodland or views down the promenade. This property was currently rented with the previous tenant staying here for 67 years, a true testament to the property and everything it offers.
While the property currently functions as two self-contained units, it could easily be reconnected to form one impressive family home. Alternatively, its current configuration presents a fantastic buy-to-let or holiday rental opportunity, perfectly positioned in a sought-after coastal location with year-round appeal.
Outside
To the rear of the property, a spacious walled courtyard provides a private, secure and sheltered outdoor area – perfect for relaxing or socialising. There's also a double garage and workshop, offering valuable storage or potential for hobby or business use. To the front of the property another seating area is available, and the elevated position ensures that you can relax in private and enjoy the beautiful sunsets that this area is famed for.
