About
An exciting opportunity to acquire a building plot with planning permission for an attractive detached bungalow, situated within the grounds of Harecroft Hall at Bowbridge, on the edge of Gosforth.
With appealing architectural drawings illustrating the proposed finished property, this is an opportunity to bring a thoughtfully designed home to life in a peaceful and highly appealing location.
The approved design offers a versatile layout suited to a variety of lifestyles.
At its heart is a spacious open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, creating an inviting space for everyday life and entertaining.
A separate office provides an ideal work-from-home environment, while the additional snug offers flexibility as a cosy second reception room or potential third bedroom.
Two further bedrooms, both with en-suite facilities, are complemented by a family bathroom, utility room and garage.
The combination of well-planned accommodation and attractive architectural design makes this a particularly appealing prospect for anyone looking to create a modern, individual home.
The plot occupies a lovely secluded position within the grounds of Harecroft Hall, formerly a private school, offering a sense of privacy and separation from the everyday hustle and bustle.
Yet the location is far from isolated, with Gosforth and nearby towns providing access to amenities, schools and employment opportunities.
For lovers of the outdoors, the Lake District National Park is close by, with its dramatic fells, beautiful Wasdale and Eskdale valleys and the stunning waters of Wastwater providing an exceptional backdrop for walking, exploring and enjoying the countryside.
Further plots are also available within the grounds, creating an opportunity to acquire additional land and be part of a small collection of homes in this special setting.
This plot offers a wonderful opportunity to turn an attractive architectural design into reality.
