A fine, detached residence occupying a prime location equidistant to the villages of St Bees and Beckermet and offering the perfect equestrian set up, standing in approx.10 acre (4.05 hectares) grounds including formal gardens, stable block with hardstanding, post and rail paddocks and riding arena.
Whitecroft House is situated in a tranquil setting along a private driveway, encompassed by landscaped gardens and its own pastureland, against a beautiful backdrop of fells, yet completely accessible to nearby towns, employment centres and well regarded schools.
The property itself is a traditional, extended farmhouse which has been meticulously maintained by the present owners with accommodation extending to around 2840sq.ft. (264sq.mtrs.) and arranged over two floors. Briefly comprising entrance vestibule, formal entrance hallway, lounge, dining room, study, dining kitchen, utility room and WC to the ground floor. To the first floor there is an impressive principal suite with large bedroom, dressing room and en-suite bathroom, with further storage room leading off from the bathroom. There are two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom on this level.
A large, integral double garage adjoins the property with a room above providing excellent scope for conversion to an annexe or ancillary accommodation if required, and subject to the necessary planning permission being obtained.
Externally, there are formal gardens to the front and side of the property, including a recently laid patio area - perfect for al-fresco dining, and exceptionally well maintained equestrian complex offering riding arena, approx. 10 acres (4.05 hectares) of pastureland - divided into several paddocks to allow for year round turnout, immaculate stable yard with separate vehicular access leading to a hardstanding area for horsebox parking etc, and stable block with 5 loose boxes (one of which is used as a hay store and another a secure tack room).
Opportunities of this nature are rarely introduced to the open market, viewing is essential.
