Site Location - Set in the historic grounds of the iconic Harecroft Hall, this building plot presents an exceptional opportunity to design and create your dream home, set against a backdrop of rich history and timeless elegance, all embraced by the tranquil beauty of the surrounding natural landscape.

The Area - Situated within the picturesque village of Gosforth, this area offers the best of both worlds; the tranquillity of the Lakeland countryside and the convenience of nearby amenities. Gosforth is steeped in historical charm, with its traditional cottages, farm dwellings, and welcoming pubs. The village boasts a warm and welcoming community and a strong neighbourly feel that make it a genuinely friendly place to call home.

Beyond the village, the landscape is adorned with majestic peaks such as Scafell, Great Gable, Hard Knott, and Muncaster Fell. Nearby valleys, including Eskdale, Wasdale, and Dunnerdale, offer endless opportunities for exploration amidst breathtaking scenery that's sure to inspire your daily life. The area is also home to remarkable attractions like Muncaster Castle and the Ravenglass to Eskdale miniature railway, ensuring there's something for everyone to discover and enjoy.

Despite its tranquil setting, Gosforth remains well-connected. Neighbouring towns like Seascale and Head are easily accessible, so you'll have all your essential needs within easy reach.

Local Occupancy Housing - This plot is subject to a Local Occupancy Housing clause. For information on how this may impact your eligibility or any related enquiries, please contact our team for further details.

Why Choose A Self-Build? - Personalisation is a significant advantage of self-building. You can design and build a home that perfectly suits your needs. From layout to materials, you have the creative freedom to shape your home according to your preferences.

What's more, opting to construct your property can be more cost-effective than purchasing an existing home, particularly if you're hands-on or closely oversee the project. This approach can result in savings, including on expenses such as stamp duty and associated fees.

With the growing shift toward more efficient heating systems, now is an ideal time to embark on a self-build project. New builds readily meet modern standards and heating efficiency regulations, enhancing their marketability and investment potential.

Investing in your own home is likely to yield positive returns, as it aligns with contemporary standards, conforms to strict mortgage criteria, and becomes more appealing to potential buyers if you choose to sell in the future.

Supporting Your Self-Build Journey - Starting a self-build project is an exciting journey, and we're here to ensure it's a smooth one for you. Our dedicated team is ready to assist in securing the right mortgage or financial support tailored to your project's needs. We also have a network of local tradespeople and professionals, ready to bring your vision to life. From the early planning stages to the final touches, we're with you every step of the way. Your dream home is within reach, and we're here to help you achieve it.

New Homes At Harecroft Hall - In addition to the building plots, our development at Harecroft Hall features three meticulously designed 2-3 bedroom bungalows. Construction is set to begin in October 2023, and these homes offer a seamless blend of modern comfort and natural beauty.

Inside, you'll find quality craftsmanship, open-plan living spaces, customisable kitchens, and luxurious bathrooms. These eco-friendly bungalows provide accessibility options, and each one boasts landscaped gardens, spacious two-car driveways, and stunning views of mature woodlands.

To explore these opportunities further, visit our website or reach out to our dedicated team for more information.

Viewings Arrangements - To arrange a viewing for this plot, please contact our dedicated New Homes Team.

Directions - Take the A595 from Whitehaven towards Barrow. As you approach Gosforth, follow the left and right-hand turns into Gosforth & Seascale. You'll soon spot a large house on your left; turn left here, cross the speed bumps, and the plots will be directly ahead.

Free Market Appraisal - If you are thinking of moving, we offer a completely free market valuation and appraisal of your existing home. We will advise you upon an asking price which accurately positions your property in the current market place, maximising viewings and your sale prospects.
