Description

Nestled in the serene and picturesque area of High Longthwaite, just on the outskirts of Wigton, this barn presents a rare opportunity for those looking to invest in a renovation project with significant potential. With full planning permission already granted for its transformation into a spacious four-bedroom family home, this property invites you to reimagine its character and functionality. Situated on a generous plot, the barn enjoys stunning views of the rolling countryside, creating a tranquil setting ideal for family living. The approved plans propose an innovative ‘upside-down’ layout that maximizes these scenic vistas. On the ground floor, you will find four bedrooms, including two with en-suite bathrooms, alongside a family bathroom. The first floor promises an expansive living area designed to embrace natural light and showcase the surrounding landscape, while an open-plan kitchen and dining space offers flexibility for modern lifestyles and entertaining. Accessed via a private gated driveway, this property ensures privacy and convenience with allocated off-road parking at the rear. Although it requires full renovation and restoration, this represents a compelling opportunity for creative visionaries eager to transform a traditional structure into a contemporary masterpiece that harmonizes rustic charm with modern design. For detailed information on the planning application, you can visit Cumberland Council's planning portal and search for reference number 2/2010/0419. This unique project awaits someone ready to turn their ideas into reality in a lovely rural setting.
