Summary - FIDDLEBACK WEST WOODSIDE WIGTON CA7 8BA
5 bed 5 bath Detached
Historic five-bed farmhouse with barn, 8.5 acres and B&B potential.
Remarkable Grade II* circular pre‑Georgian sandstone farmhouse
Fiddleback Farm is an exceptionally rare Grade II* listed pre-Georgian farmhouse, notable for its circular sandstone form, exposed beams and lime-flagged floors. The house currently combines a spacious family home with an established bed-and-breakfast operation, offering versatile reception space, five bedrooms (four en-suite), and a large partly converted barn with planning permission for two additional windows and a partly completed toilet area.
Set within just over 8.5 acres — including an approx. 2.5 acre paddock — the property has mature gardens, a long private driveway, large garage, detached stone barn and multiple useful stores. The barn’s scale and high exposed timbers give genuine potential for events, additional guest units or other commercial uses, subject to consents and the constraints of listed status.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II* listed which will restrict alterations and may complicate repairs or redevelopment. Services include mains water and electricity, oil-fired heating and drainage via a cesspit. Broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal. A public footpath crosses part of the land and council tax is in Band F.
This is a property for buyers seeking historic character, substantial land and business potential rather than a turnkey modern family home. It will suit those comfortable with managing a listed building, rural maintenance and the paperwork of planning or change-of-use projects, or an investor/operator wanting an established B&B and space for expansion.
