Soutergate House, Kirkby-in-Furness, LA17 7TN

Set in the peaceful village of Soutergate, this handsome four/five-bedroom semi-detached period home is a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a rewarding project. Brimming with charm and original features, the property offers generous proportions, unique character, and enormous scope to add value through modernisation and thoughtful improvements.

Step inside through the tiled entrance hall and you're immediately met with a sense of history, from exposed beams to stained glass windows and flagstone floors. The layout includes two cosy reception rooms, both with fireplaces, plus a separate dining room complete with its own bar, making it ideal for entertaining. The kitchen diner provides a practical space with access to a rear hallway that leads into a conservatory and garden.

Upstairs, you'll find four well-proportioned bedrooms, each rich in character, wide beam floorboards, fireplaces, and charming details throughout. The period-style bathroom stands out with original wooden cabinetry and plenty of space to enhance and reimagine.

Outside, the home continues to impress with a good-sized rear garden featuring a mature tree as its centrepiece, a stone outhouse offering useful storage or workshop potential, and a yard space with double gated access. The generous plot size adds further scope for landscaping or future development, subject to the necessary consents.

This is a superb project for those with vision. Whether you're looking to create a beautiful family home or a standout character property in a sought-after village, Soutergate House offers a blank canvas and a unique opportunity to buy well and add real value. 

Location Tucked away in the peaceful village of Soutergate, this property enjoys a delightful semi-rural setting within the Furness Peninsula, just a short drive from the edge of the Lake District National Park. Surrounded by open countryside and rolling fells, it's an ideal spot for those seeking a quieter pace of life, with easy access to walking routes, nature trails, and local beauty spots.

Despite its tranquil feel, Soutergate is well connected. The nearby village of Kirkby-in-Furness offers a train station, primary school, local shop, and pub, while the market town of Ulverston is only a 15-minute drive away, providing a wider range of amenities. Barrow-in-Furness and Broughton-in-Furness are also within easy reach, making this an excellent base for commuting or exploring the best of rural Cumbria.

From the A595 off Tippins Lane, turn left into Soutergate. Continue along the main road as it winds through the village. When you reach the crossroads in the centre, turn right. Soutergate House is immediately on your left, easily recognised by its green box sash windows and distinctive porch.
