Offered with no onward chain, this absolutely stunning period property will be one of the most traditional and historic homes in Whitehaven. This beautiful home was built in 1882 by Lord Lowther for his Daughter as a Wedding Gift.
The current owners have fully renovated the property to a very high standard, including re-wiring throughout, re-decorating, new windows, new kitchen and bathrooms, new heating system and gas boiler, tanking of the cellar... whilst all these renovations have been done, the owners have retained a lot of the original features, mostly the stained glass windows, ship mast ceiling beams and amazing fireplaces.
The external of the property speaks for itself, set within an acre of land, comprising of extensive grassed lawn area accompanied by decorative shrubbery, large trees providing a private, tranquil space for relaxing and listening to the birds singing just waiting for the deer, hedgehogs, red squirrels and butterflies to pay a visit. The biggest added bonus is the huge driveway providing off road parking for multiple vehicles.
