Set on a third of an acre in the historic village of Burgh-by-Sands, West Garth is an attractive 18th-century former farmhouse that blends period character with modern upgrades. The stone-built, three-storey house offers five double bedrooms, three bathrooms and two generous reception rooms, including cosy living spaces with exposed beams and two log-burning stoves.
The kitchen is a standout: bespoke solid-wood units, granite worktops, large larder and an extra-large AGA with intelligent timer control. Practical additions include a utility/cool room, integrated appliances, a conservatory, two powered outbuildings and a garage. Mature, well-screened gardens, raised beds, greenhouse and a low-maintenance artificial-grass area create versatile outdoor space for family life or entertaining.
The current owners have modernised the property over the last twelve years and added the top-floor bedroom and en suite, but the house retains traditional features and solid-brick construction. Note practical considerations: the walls are assumed to be uninsulated solid brick, the EPC rating is D, and council tax sits above average (Band E). Broadband and mobile reception are average and the village is a remoter community, which suits buyers seeking peace but may not suit those reliant on fast connectivity.
Offered freehold and chain-free, West Garth is about five miles from Carlisle with straightforward access to the M6 and West Coast mainline, and within easy reach of the Lake District and Solway coast. This property will suit families wanting space and character, buyers seeking a comfortable country base with good transport links, or purchasers looking for a period home already sympathetically updated.
