Harecroft Hall, Bowbridge, CA20 1HT

A rare opportunity to acquire a building plot with planning permission for a substantial four bedroom detached house, occupying a wonderfully secluded position within the former walled garden of Harecroft Hall, at Bowbridge on the edge of Gosforth.

The proposed house has been thoughtfully designed to make the most of this peaceful setting and will provide generous, versatile accommodation.

The plans include a large lounge, impressive open-plan dining kitchen, separate utility room and a ground-floor en-suite bedroom, with three further bedrooms to the first floor, two of which are en-suite, together with a family bathroom.

Set within the grounds of Harecroft Hall, formerly a private school, the plot offers a particularly attractive combination of privacy, character and rural surroundings, while remaining conveniently positioned for local amenities, schools, employment centres and nearby towns.

A Local Occupancy Clause will apply to the property, with further details available from the selling agent. The position is a real highlight.

Nestled on the edge of Gosforth, the plot enjoys a peaceful and secluded feel, yet is within easy reach of the outstanding scenery of the western Lake District.

The National Park, fells and some of the area's most spectacular landscapes are readily accessible, including the Wasdale, Eskdale and Wastwater valleys, making this an excellent base for enjoying walking, cycling and the great outdoors.

At the same time, the location is practical for everyday life, with good access to employment centres, towns and schools. There are also two further building plots available within the grounds.

A particularly appealing opportunity to build a new home in a beautiful and secluded corner of West Cumbria.
