Slate House offers a unique investment opportunity for those looking to embark on a substantial renovation project or redevelopment. Recently affected by burst pipes, the property is in need of significant restoration work to make it habitable again. Nestled in an attractive countryside setting just 40 minutes from Carlisle, the cottage boasts its own private woodland and sweeping views over the landscape.
The flexible layout includes a spacious living room with a multi-fuel stove and an additional rear porch that connects to the gardens. The kitchen, centrally located, features solid cabinets and includes essential appliances such as a Rangemaster oven. With three sizeable bedrooms, the master benefits from an en-suite bathroom and built-in storage. The family bathroom is adequately designed but presents opportunities for modernisation, particularly with the potential to transform a large storage cupboard into an updated walk-in shower space.
Externally, the rural location adds charm while offering ample parking for several vehicles via wooden gates. The plot spans 0.73 acres, encompassing mature hedges and trees that provide privacy as well as areas that could be developed into beautiful gardens or recreational spaces with thoughtful management. Included in the sale are various garden sheds and a polytunnel as part of this expansive outdoor space.
Bewcastle is rich in history with plenty of woodland walks nearby, encouraging wildlife observation such as deer and birds of prey. Local amenities are accessible in nearby Brampton, just 12 miles away, which offers shopping and schooling options. Public transport links to Carlisle or Newcastle enhance this charming location's appeal.
