A rare self-build plot in Sandwith with outline planning permission in perpetuity for one detached house. The site sits semi-rural yet within easy reach of Whitehaven, the A595 and the St Bees coast, offering countryside views and a quiet village setting.
Services (water, electricity, telecoms) are understood to run under Julia Drive, but none have been tested — purchasers should confirm connections and costs. The plot includes a garden area and garage parking; a derelict stone building on site is present and access to the barn is restricted.
Buyers should carry out full due diligence: planning documents are with Copeland/Cumberland Council under reference 4/14/2194/0O1, tenure details are not provided, and a non-refundable 10% deposit is required on exchange. The location benefits from very low crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, but sits in a wider area classed as deprived — factor local services and resale when considering purchase.
This plot suits a self-builder or small-scale investor seeking a straightforward single-house development near the coast and Lake District. The key attractions are secure outline permission and a convenient commuter position; practical considerations include verifying service connections, title/tenure, and the condition of the existing structures.
