We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

*** Awaiting planning permission for conversion to a 3 bed house *** An Idyllic Spot In The National Park To Build Two Holiday Lets - With Planning Permission Already In Place.
This substantial barn with valley views has consent to be converted into two apartments - the ideal base for exploring the Western Lakes.
If you’re looking for your next development project, this barn conversion in the beautiful countryside between Cleator Moor and Ennerdale could fit the bill.
Planning permission has been granted for conversion into two dwellings - each measuring approx 10m2 with potential for two bedrooms, a bathroom and an open plan living space.
The barn is being sold with land that can be used for parking and can also be landscaped into an outside space where guests can sit out and take in the valley views.
The barn has just had a new roof and the floor has been reinforced so it’s ready to start working on the inside.
Once the conversion is complete the holiday lets are sure to be popular with National Park visitors. It will be the ideal base to explore the National Park.
You can walk to the northwest shore of Ennerdale in around 90 minutes and more able walkers will be able to reach Crummock Water or Loweswater in a few hours.
It is located in an unspoiled rural spot but nearby Cleator Moor is only a 10 minute drive away and will have everything your guests will need on a day-to-day basis.
For everything else, it’s only a 20 minute drive to the centre of Whitehaven or 15 minutes to Egremont.
If you’re on the lookout for your next development project, this barn conversion with planning permission could be perfect.
Whether you’re looking to keep them or sell them on, once built the two holiday lets are sure to be popular. If this sounds like a project you’d love to tackle, call now for more information.
