Summary - Boustead Hill, Burgh-By-Sands, Carlisle CA5 6AA
4 bed 3 bath Character Property
Versatile estate with large barns, orchard and coastal views near Carlisle.
Over 500 sqm / 5,533 sq ft of accommodation across house and outbuildings
A rare converted farmstead offering over 500 sqm (approximately 5,533 sq ft) of adaptable accommodation arranged around a large gravel courtyard. The principal three-bedroom residence retains period character with sash windows, exposed beams and a farmhouse kitchen with Aga. Adjoining is an impressive Entertaining Hall (76 sqm) with double-height ceilings, its own kitchen and biomass heating — a space that reads as a secondary house or large family room.
The site includes two substantial detached barns (one used as an artist’s studio, the other with vehicular access and two-floor height), a separate office with bathroom, and useful stores and plant/boiler room. Opposite the house is a mature orchard and open agricultural views towards the Solway Firth. The estate sits in a quiet coastal rural setting around two miles from Burgh-by-Sands and about eight miles from Carlisle city centre.
The property is well suited to multi-generational living, a live-work household, or buyers seeking redevelopment/holiday-let potential (subject to planning and consents). Practical considerations include oil-fired central heating to the main house, a biomass system serving the Entertaining Hall, septic tank drainage, medium flood risk, and very slow broadband. Substantial upkeep and some reconfiguration or modernisation will be required to realise full potential.
Viewing is recommended to appreciate scale and flexibility: the accommodation and outbuildings present clear scope for conversion, workshops, studio use or ancillary accommodation, but any change of use will require the appropriate consents. Council Tax band C and freehold tenure are noted.
