Raughton Head, Carlisle

A rare opportunity to acquire a pair of Grade II listed, semi-detached cottages offered for sale with no onward chain, situated in the sought-after village of Raughton Head.

Occupying a generous plot of approximately 0.25 acres, the properties sit side by side and are accompanied by a range of useful outbuildings. Although both cottages require comprehensive renovation, they offer exceptional potential for redevelopment, whether as a substantial family home with separate ancillary accommodation, multi-generational living, or a project subject to any necessary consents.

Raughton Head is a peaceful rural village renowned for its picturesque countryside walks, while benefiting from a well-regarded primary school and local church. The location also provides convenient access to Carlisle and Penrith, with excellent transport links to the M6, making it ideal for those seeking a countryside lifestyle without sacrificing connectivity.

Whilst the properties are offered for sale as a whole, offers for the individual cottages may be considered.
