Summary - COWPER HOUSE ASPATRIA WIGTON CA7 3LD
4 bed 1 bath Detached
Historic sandstone farmhouse with barns and 1.25 acres of grazing — conversion potential.
Georgian 4-bedroom sandstone farmhouse with period features
Cowper House is a traditional Georgian sandstone farmhouse set within a substantial smallholding in West Cumbria. The comfortable four-bedroom home has been stylishly presented internally, with a modern kitchen/dining room, two reception rooms and a utility, and sits alongside an L-shaped range of sandstone barns and stabling — a genuine working smallholding opportunity with strong rural character.
The immediate holding extends to approximately 1.25 acres of permanent pasture suitable for grazing, with an additional 6.42 acres available by separate negotiation. The courtyard, cobbled yard and outbuildings (including timber-beamed barns with slate roofs and a tin-sheet general-purpose shed) offer useful storage, equine facilities and clear potential for conversion subject to planning consent.
Important practical points: the property is served by oil-fired central heating and a private septic tank (no formal checks on current compliance with General Binding Rules 2020 have been made), the external sandstone walls are assumed to be uninsulated, and broadband speeds are very slow. Planning consent for conversion of the two-storey bothy previously existed but has now lapsed — a potential opportunity for buyers willing to pursue renewed consent.
Cowper House suits buyers seeking a countryside family home with smallholding or equestrian use, or purchasers looking for a period property with outbuildings and scope for improvement. The setting is peaceful with low local crime, limited nearby services, and reasonable road access from the A596; practical buyers should factor in utilities, septic compliance, insulation and connectivity works when assessing the purchase.
