Summary - CROFT HOUSE HIGH HOUSE ROAD ST. BEES CA27 0BY
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious period residence with elevated gardens and garage near St Bees beach.
Five generous bedrooms across three storeys with high ceilings and period features
Croft House is a substantial late-18th century Georgian residence blending authentic period detail with usable family space across three storeys. High ceilings, original cornicing, sash windows and open fireplaces give the principal rooms abundant character, while a modern shaker-style kitchen with granite worktops and integrated appliances provides a practical heart for daily life.
The house offers flexible living: multiple reception rooms, a ground-floor guest suite with shower, and a top-floor suite of interconnecting rooms suited to teenagers, home working or occasional guests. Outside, mature, terraced cottage-style gardens rise above the house to deliver two distinct seating areas and elevated views towards surrounding hills. Private parking and a large double garage with electric door add everyday convenience.
Important practical points are clear. The house is Grade II listed which protects original fabric but will restrict alterations and can complicate works and consents. The construction is traditional sandstone/limestone with no assumed wall insulation; the EPC is band E and council tax is high (band F). Prospective buyers should budget for maintenance and consider energy upgrades within the constraints of listed status.
Well located in St Bees on the Solway Coast AONB, the property is attractive for families seeking village and coastal living, those wanting space for multigenerational arrangements, or buyers who value historic character and landscape setting. Fast local broadband, good schools nearby and strong road and rail links make this a practical country-coastal base, albeit one that requires sympathetic upkeep and planning for any significant change.
