Description
A fantastic opportunity to acquire a building plot with planning permission for a four-bedroom detached dormer bungalow, occupying a peaceful and secluded position within the grounds of Harecroft Hall at Bowbridge, on the edge of Gosforth.
The proposed property has been designed to provide spacious and versatile accommodation, combining the convenience of ground-floor living with additional bedrooms and flexibility at first-floor level. The plans offer an exciting opportunity to create a substantial individual home, with architectural drawings available to illustrate the proposed design and give an impression of the finished property. Set within the former walled garden of Harecroft Hall, formerly a private school, the plot enjoys an appealing blend of privacy, attractive surroundings and a distinctive setting, making it an excellent prospect for those looking to build a home tailored to their own requirements.
The location is equally appealing, with a lovely secluded feel while remaining conveniently positioned on the edge of Gosforth for local amenities, schools, nearby towns and employment centres. The stunning landscapes of the Lake District National Park are within easy reach, including the surrounding fells and the spectacular Wasdale, Eskdale and Wastwater valleys, offering wonderful opportunities for walking, cycling and enjoying the outdoors. Despite its peaceful rural setting, the property is well placed for everyday life and commuting. Further building plots are also available within the grounds, providing the opportunity to acquire additional plots and form part of a small, attractive collection of homes in this unique setting. A rare chance to create a new home in a beautiful part of West Cumbria, combining countryside tranquillity with practical accessibility. A Local Occupancy restriction will apply to the completed property, with further details available from the selling agent.
