Summary - CASTLEMONT, WIGTON, ASPATRIA CA7 2JU
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious period home with outbuildings and far-reaching fell views.
Five double bedrooms plus dressing room and study
Castlemont is an imposing five-bedroom detached period house built in 1912, set in a private 1.25-acre plot on the edge of Aspatria. The property offers expansive outlooks across the Solway to Criffel Fell and south towards the Lake District fells, with formal lawns, a small orchard, paddock and stables – ideal for families wanting space and countryside privacy. Ultrafast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working and connectivity despite the rural setting.
Internally the house provides generous, flexible accommodation arranged over two storeys: three reception rooms (one with a large bay and log burner), a kitchen with AGA, pantry, utility and multiple stores, plus five bedrooms, dressing room and study. The substantial outbuildings include two garages, workshops, stores, greenhouse and potential for annex conversion subject to consents – useful for multi-generational living or letting income.
Buyers should note practical matters plainly: the property is served by private drainage, the EPC is pending, and council tax is band F (expensive). The house has double glazing and gas central heating, but some spaces and the outbuildings may require refurbishment if repurposed. Located about 9 miles from Wigton and 20 miles from Carlisle, Castlemont balances seclusion with reasonable access to local schools and amenities.
This home suits buyers seeking an estate-like family residence with outbuilding scope and strong rural character. It will particularly appeal to those wanting adaptable accommodation, outdoor facilities for equestrian or hobby use, and long-term potential rather than a move-in pristine maintenance-free property.
