Carleton, Carlisle, CA4

The Golden Fleece is located in a most commanding and exciting spot, south of the Great Border City of Carlisle, with immediate access to M6 Jct 42 and A6 to Penrith. A prime potential spot for new commercial development STP, or redevelopment of the existing residential properties, you will find this area is on the edge of the new Carlisle Southern Link Road and a gateway to the St Cuthbert's Garden Village project. Opposite the existing infrastructure of a service station and the Premier Inn Border Gate hotel and with multiple sought after commuter villages ad the city close at hand.

Overall the opportunity consists of 8 acres of land, previously taking on many forms over the years, including a farm and small holding, a commercially successful market garden, growing blackcurrants, strawberries, peaches, nectarines and traditional varieties of apples, with the remnants of it's glory days visible in the remaining large greenhouse and orchards. This property could be rejuvenated to realise it's previous glory days or be reinvented to suit a whole new purpose.

There are three residential properties, the largest is the main house which is a barn conversion carried out in the early 1950's, the cottage which dates historically back to being a public house from the mid 1700's until 1912, and the flat which was converted after the barn. All surrounding a large picturesque courtyard and with additional outhouses known as the piggery, there is also a large Dutch barn, greenhouse and once pristine formal gardens in addition to the worked land.

Part of the land on offer is separate, on the opposite side of the Highways maintained lane, servicing just three properties, and is prominent in visibility and elevation to the M6 roundabout. 

The main house comprises kitchen, three reception rooms and ground floor bathroom with two bathrooms and five bedrooms to the first floor and interconnecting access via a bathroom to the flat. The flat offers a large reception room, two bedrooms and kitchen and shares the interconnecting bathroom with the main house. The cottage has in recent years undergone the beginnings of a full renovation with new roof, new double glazing and been stripped back to a shell, with four rooms to the ground floor and three to the first floor.
