Oughterside, Wigton

Built in the 1790's this gorgeous Late Georgian three bedroomed detached home was an original farmhouse so can probably tell many a story and although lots of traditional features remain (such as coving, mouldings, picture and rado rails, deep skirting boards etc) it's also bursting with modern life, energy and colour.
We love every nook and cranny inside, and as for outside - the garden is beautiful having been perfectly and thoughtfully planted with a great variety of roses, flowers, shrubs etc, the result of which is an abundance of colour and personality. It includes seating areas with patios with pergolas and it's extremely private too.
The house itself is beautifully proportioned with two receptions and a kitchen downstairs and upstairs three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Oil central heating, solar panels and double glazing complete the package.
Adjoining the house are two barns and a large garage - these spaces offer great potential, particularly to someone who is self-employed, or a car enthusiast - a great place to work. Alternatively you could convert them to create a fourth bedroom - subject to planning.
All in all, a fabulous home with gorgeous gardens and some superb storage/work space.
