Set within about 4 acres on the edge of Seaville, Beech House is a substantial detached farmhouse that will appeal to families and small-holding buyers seeking space and scope. The house combines three double bedrooms, three reception rooms and a large kitchen/dining area with useful utility and office space. Outside there are paddocks, two stables, outbuildings, a large barn with mezzanine, workshop and garage — practical for livestock, storage or hobby workshops. The plot includes a private courtyard and room to park 7–8 cars.
The property is offered with genuine development potential: the adjoining barn could be converted or extended into additional living space subject to obtaining the correct planning permission. The home retains traditional stone walls, slate roof, wood-burning stoves and other period character, which will suit buyers who value a rural, historic feel and are prepared to personalise the interior.
Buyers should note a number of practical considerations. Heating is primarily electric storage radiators and some rooms are only partially double glazed; the original stone walls are assumed uninsulated. Services include a private septic tank within the boundary. Broadband and mobile signal are average and the location is a quiet hamlet/isolated dwelling, five miles from Silloth and eight miles from Wigton. There is only one family bathroom. These points mean some updating and ongoing maintenance may be needed, but also present clear opportunities to add value.
Overall Beech House is a rare rural offering: large plot, flexible outbuildings and character accommodation close to coast and market towns. It is best suited to buyers wanting space for animals, hobbies or extension potential, and to those willing to invest in modernising heating, glazing and insulation to improve comfort and running costs.
