4 Bed Detached House For Sale Wigton, CA7

A Marvellous Modern Home - Close To The Solway Coast With Stunning Fell Views. If you prefer new homes to old you don’t have to live on a tightly packed estate. This bespoke family home is quite the opposite, on the edge of a quiet AONB village. Property ref: KD0516

Some families like old houses that are full of character and charm. Others prefer more modern properties, with the latest energy efficient technology, cutting edge design and easier  upkeep.

This six year old four bedroom family home is very much in the latter category. And it’s quite unusual, being a modern home located on the edge of a popular village that sits between the Solway Firth and the Solway Mosses Nature Reserve.

That means you get to look out towards the Scottish coast from the front and can enjoy views of the distant National Park fells from the rear.

It was built in 2017 by the current owners and was designed to be a spacious and versatile family home.

The ground floor has an open plan lounge and kitchen / diner where the whole family can get together to relax, eat or catch up at the end of a busy day.

It will also be ideal for summer entertaining, with French doors that lead out to the south facing garden’s large patio seating area. 

As you’d expect the kitchen is stylish and well equipped, with plenty of space in the shaker-style fitted units, gorgeous high-gloss worksurfaces and a Belfast sink. 

The spacious lounge is welcoming and homely, with a traditional stove as the focal point to keep you warm on a chilly winter evening.

The property is practical too. There’s a handy utility room (with downstairs w/c) that leads to the built in single garage.

Upstairs has a stylish four piece family bathroom along with four bedrooms - two with walk in wardrobes and one with an ensuite.

There’s parking on the drive for several cars and a neat lawn in front of the lounge.

The south facing sun trap back garden has a patio seating area for the grown-ups and a large lawn for the kids to play on.

One of the advantages of buying new rather than old is the energy efficiency. This thoughtfully designed property has solar panels to reduce your energy bills and underfloor heating throughout the ground floor.

Hadrian’s Cycleway passes through the village, right past the front garden so keen cyclists can easily head west toward Ravenglass or east towards Carlisle.

If you’re heading into Carlisle in the car it only takes just over half an hour, making the journey a manageable daily commute.

As a family-friendly home it’s reassuring to know that you’ve got good local schools nearby. Kirkbride Primary School (rated “Good” by Ofsted) is only six minutes drive away in the nearby village.

Older kids will have to travel to Wigton but the longer journey will be worth it as they have a choice of secondary schools, including the  “Outstanding” Nelson Thomlinson School.

This is a fantastic property that will appeal to families who want to enjoy the benefits of living in a thoughtfully designed modern home in a beautiful, unspoilt setting.
