luxury houses for sale Wigton, United Kingdom

Hadrians House - A purpose-built equestrian residence of rare calibre, combining professional-grade facilities with refined modern country living. Constructed in 2015 with a clear brief—create a high-performance equestrian facility without compromising on residential quality—Hadrian’s House delivers on both fronts with precision. Set within approximately 7.4 acres, the property is discreetly positioned behind electric gates, offering privacy while remaining on the edge of a well-connected village. From the outset, the tone is established: natural materials, oak detailing, and a restrained palette create a modern farmhouse aesthetic that feels both considered and functional. This is not a cosmetic nod to country living—it is designed for it. The House The ground floor is anchored by a wide entrance hall, finished with oak flooring that runs consistently throughout, reinforcing the sense of cohesion. A bespoke oak staircase with integrated storage sets a practical tone early. The kitchen is the core of the house—bespoke, hand-painted solid wood cabinetry by Woodstyle, topped with black granite. It is properly specified rather than styled: Belfast sink, Neff appliances, wine fridge, and integrated timber wine storage within the island. The Aga is gas-fired with an electric companion, providing five ovens, multiple hobs, and flexibility that suits both day-to-day use and larger-scale entertaining. This space flows into a dining area and onward into a striking oak-framed living area. Extensive glazing wraps the elevation, pulling in natural light and framing uninterrupted views across the paddocks, critically, maintaining constant visual connection to the land and horses. A side access door leads directly to the patio, reinforcing the indoor-outdoor relationship. A secondary lounge offers contrast, more enclosed, intentionally quieter, with a contemporary gas fire and direct access to the patio. Glazed doors connect through to a formal dining room, allowing the layout to flex between open-plan entertaining and more defined spaces. The supporting accommodation is well judged: a fully fitted utility/laundry room with matching cabinetry, a ground floor shower room, and a boiler/drying room designed specifically for country use - wet coats, boots, and kit are clearly anticipated. A stable-style external door reinforces this as a working entrance. A study to the rear provides additional flexibility. This space is currently an office, but equally viable as a fourth bedroom, snug, or hobby space. First Floor The upper floor continues the same disciplined approach to materials and finish, with underfloor heating throughout. Three bedrooms are arranged to maximise light and outlook. The principal suite breathtaking. Vaulted ceilings, exposed oak structure, and a glazed gable end create a space that feels closer to a boutique retreat than a conventional bedroom. A dedicated dressing room and a high-spec ensuite features porcelain tiling and a large walk-in shower which complete this luxury suite. A second bedroom also benefits from ensuite facilities, while the family bathroom is centred around a freestanding bath, finished in a neutral, durable palette. Equestrian Facilities This is where Hadrian’s House separates itself from the majority of lifestyle properties. The equestrian offering is not an add-on—it is the primary asset, executed to a standard that supports serious use. 7.4 acres, intelligently divided into rotational paddocks Outdoor arena (50m x 30m) with premium sand and rubber surface Indoor arena (18m x 30m) with mirrors and full lighting—usable year-round Canter track/gallop running along the boundary, linking upper paddocks All-weather turnout areas adjacent to the indoor arena Horse walker (by separate negotiation)The stable block is equally well specified: 8 full stables plus additional storage stable Rubber matting to floors and walls throughout Solarium for muscle recovery and conditioning (by separate negotiation) Dedicated wash bay with hot and cold water Central cross-tie areas with excellent lighting Integrated kitchen, seating, and laundry area for day-to-day yard management First-floor tack room and rug storageOperational flow has been considered. Movement between arenas, turnout, stabling, and storage is efficient, which matters if this is being used at scale or professionally. A large gravel yard provides ample space for wagons, trailers, and machinery, with straightforward access and turning. Additional Accommodation & Leisure Across the yard, a covered area provides parking for two vehicles. Above, a self-contained studio apartment offers genuine ancillary accommodation—well-finished with oak flooring, open-plan living/sleeping space, fitted kitchen, and shower room. This is suitable for staff, guests, or as a dedicated office separate from the main house. Closer to the house, a garden room has been configured as a leisure space with bar and sauna. Adjacent is a covered patio with hot tub, positioned to take advantage of the south-facing orientation and uninterrupted views across the land. Location – Kirkandrews-on-Eden Kirkandrews-on-Eden offers a rare combination of accessible countryside and authentic rural living. Surrounded by a collection of well-regarded villages, the area is known for its excellent country pubs, traditional inns, and quality local butchers, delivering the kind of day-to-day lifestyle that buyers at this level actively look for, not just scenery. Positioned just a short drive from Carlisle, the property benefits from immediate access to a comprehensive range of amenities, schooling, and services, alongside excellent transport links via the M6 and mainline rail connections to London and Glasgow. For those drawn to the outdoors, the setting is particularly strong. The property lies along the route of Hadrian’s Wall Path, allowing direct access to miles of established walking routes straight from the doorstep. The area provides quiet lanes and open countryside ideal for hacking, while both the Lake District National Park and the Cumbrian coastline are within easy reach—offering a diverse mix of landscapes from fells and lakes to open beaches. This is a location that delivers not just on convenience, but on lifestyle—particularly for buyers prioritising space, access to the outdoors, and a strong sense of place. Summary Hadrian’s House is not a compromised lifestyle purchase. It is a properly executed equestrian property where the infrastructure justifies the headline. If the buyer’s priority is horses—training, conditioning, or small-scale professional use—this will outperform the majority of comparable offerings. The house supports that use case without dilution, delivering a level of finish and comfort that aligns with the quality of the yard.

West House, Thursby Nestled within the heart of the sought-after village of Thursby, West House is an exceptional Grade II Listed Georgian residence that seamlessly blends period charm with contemporary luxury. Originally forming part of a courtyard farmhouse dating back to the early 1800s, this remarkable home has been sympathetically renovated by the current owner since 2015, preserving its rich heritage while introducing a superb standard of modern living. West House is a property of genuine character, offering elegant accommodation, beautiful gardens and a versatile annex, all within a private and secluded setting. Accommodation Approached through the attractive courtyard, an entrance porch opens into a beautifully appointed boot room, complete with bespoke storage and ample space for coats, boots and outdoor clothing. The heart of the home is undoubtedly the stunning open-plan kitchen and dining room. Designed and installed by the renowned team at Carvetti Interiors, the kitchen combines minimalist German-engineered Poggen Pohl cabinetry with elegant stone worktops and a comprehensive range of premium appliances. Features include a Franke sink with mixer tap, Zip hot and cold water tap, Miele double ovens, warming drawer and a substantial central island incorporating a 900mm six-zone Miele induction hob. Hidden power points throughout the space provide practicality without compromising the clean aesthetic. Natural light floods the room through large sash windows overlooking the gardens, while glazed doors provide direct access to the patio, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Flowing naturally from the kitchen is a generous dining area centred around a beautiful traditional fireplace with a log-burning stove. Large sash windows add character and light while providing delightful views across the gardens. To one side of the kitchen lies an elegant living room where decorative ceiling coving, a large sash window and a feature fireplace create a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere. Perfectly positioned adjacent to the dining room, it offers an inviting space to unwind and entertain. On the opposite side of the kitchen is a versatile study, currently utilised as a home office. With views across the gardens and a decorative fireplace, this room would equally suit use as an additional reception room or ground floor bedroom. Continuing along the hallway, a practical laundry room features bespoke cabinetry matching the kitchen, space for a washing machine and dryer, and an integrated full-height freezer. A stylish cloakroom/WC adjoins, finished with high-quality porcelain tiling that continues from the kitchen and dining area. At the end of the corridor, a further reception room offers exceptional flexibility. Complete with a beautiful Victorian style fireplace and dual-aspect windows, it provides a charming retreat. This room connects to a further space currently used as a gym and additional workspace, which in turn links to the annex accommodation.   Annex Accommodation The annex provides excellent flexibility for multigenerational living or independent guest accommodation. Benefiting from its own private entrance, the accommodation includes a spacious double bedroom and a well-appointed shower room. Views across the courtyard enhance the sense of privacy and charm. The annex also benefits from its own outdoor seating area and patio. The connecting room could easily accommodate a kitchenette, creating a fully self-contained living space if desired.   First Floor Returning to the main house, a traditional staircase with stone construction, elegant spindles, wooden handrail and decorative runner rises to the first floor. A large sash window on the half landing floods the space with natural light while framing attractive courtyard views. The first-floor landing retains many original features, including decorative coving, deep timber architraves and solid oak doors throughout. West House offers four generous double bedrooms, each beautifully presented and filled with character. Two guest bedrooms are served by a luxurious family bathroom. This stunning space features a walk-in shower, roll-top bath with traditional fittings, bespoke vanity storage, double sinks and floor-to-ceiling tiling combining natural stone and wood-effect finishes. A further guest bedroom enjoys the benefit of its own en-suite shower room and features exposed beams together with windows to three elevations. The principal suite provides a true sanctuary. The luxurious en-suite bathroom is finished with elegant porcelain tiling and includes underfloor heating, a substantial walk-in rainfall shower, double vanity unit, heated towel rail and useful built-in storage. A few steps lead through to the principal bedroom itself, a beautifully proportioned room featuring exposed beams, fitted wardrobes and ample space for a dressing area or seating area. Warm, inviting and full of character, it perfectly balances period charm with modern comfort.   Outside West House benefits from two distinct and equally impressive outdoor spaces. The first is a beautifully landscaped courtyard enclosed by attractive period buildings. A rustic brick driveway is complemented by caber chippings, mature planting and carefully maintained borders. A central raised bed planted with box and yew surrounds a mature specimen tree, while pleached hornbeam hedging provides privacy and year-round structure. A range of useful outbuildings provide excellent storage, workshop facilities and garage space. Currently utilised as a garden storage area, these versatile buildings offer excellent potential for a variety of uses. To the opposite side of the property lies a delightful private garden. A large lawn is surrounded by mature trees, colourful shrubs and established cottage-style planting. Directly outside the kitchen and dining room, a patio seating area provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining, entertaining or simply enjoying a morning coffee. The gardens have been thoughtfully designed with a variety of seating areas, including a charming sunken patio and additional paved terraces surrounded by vibrant planting. The result is a wonderfully private and peaceful outdoor environment that complements the character of the house perfectly.   Location Thursby is a highly regarded Cumbrian village, offering an attractive balance of countryside living and accessibility. Surrounded by open farmland and picturesque rural scenery, the village enjoys a strong sense of community and benefits from a well-regarded primary school and active village hall. The cathedral city of Carlisle lies approximately six miles away, providing an extensive range of shopping, leisure, dining and educational facilities, together with excellent transport connections including direct rail services to London, Manchester and Glasgow. The village is ideally positioned for those who enjoy the outdoors, with easy access to both the beautiful Solway Coast National Landscape and the Lake District National Park, offering endless opportunities for walking, cycling and exploring some of the North of England’s most spectacular scenery.   GENERAL REMARKS AND INFORMATION Viewings: Strictly by appointment through the sole selling agents Fine & Country.

Quietly situated in glorious countryside, Burnfoot House is offered for sale as a whole with one main residence and five stone-built holiday cottages, detached double garage, garden grounds and one mile of mixed single and double bank fishing on the River Esk (sea trout and salmon). In all, approximately 14 acres. This impressive B Listed country home is a fine example of the Victorian Scottish vernacular, and offers well-presented accommodation over three floors, with retained original features including ornate ceiling cornices and a grand main staircase. Burnfoot House belonged to the Duke of Buccleuch in the 18th century and has strong ties to the Malcolm family who travelled extensively in Asia with one family member, Stephana, being credited with introducing curry to Scotland in the 1780s.  The Malcolms were also a naval family, and the fire in the drawing room is rumoured to have come from a supporting frigate at the Battle of Trafalgar. All properties have been very well maintained by the present owners and this portfolio offers an excellent business/lifestyle opportunity with scope for significant letting income but is equally suitable for multi-generational living.   Main House A solid timber front door opens into a generous porch and the large, pillared reception hall. The hall is extremely impressive with original flagstone floors, high ceilings and a fine solid timber staircase that gently ascends to the first floor.  There are four reception rooms on the ground floor. The drawing room is a fantastic space boasting high ceilings, a dual aspect with tall sash windows, a ‘captain’s’ stove set within an impressive mantelpiece and ornate ceiling cornice work. The large library is located immediately off the reception hall and offers tall windows to the front elevation, built-in bookshelves and a fireplace.  This room could be used for a multitude of purposes, as could the formal dining room and snug/study, the latter of which is presently used as a cosy sitting room with wood burning stove. The kitchen/breakfast room has been designed by Neptune and comprises solid wood cabinetry with granite worksurfaces, underfloor heating and a Lacanche range cooker.  Ancillary rooms to the rear of the house include a separate pantry, utility area, cloakroom/WC and store.  A secondary staircase is also located to the rear of the property.   Upstairs, there is the principal bedroom with large modern ensuite bathroom comprising shower and separate bath, and five further generous double bedrooms (one with an en suite shower room).  All bedrooms enjoy high ceilings and large windows, and some boast fireplaces. There are two family bathrooms and a laundry room. A secondary staircase to the rear of the first-floor landing rises up to the top floor, which could be used as a self-contained unit, and which comprises a kitchen with Habitat units and Belfast sink, sitting room, dining room, two further flexible use rooms, an office, store cupboard and a bathroom.  In all the main house extends to approximately 14,000 sq ft.   Cottages The five cottages occupy the charming former stone stable block and range from one to three bedrooms.  Four of the cottages have been set up as holiday lets and bring in a steady income, although more could be done to advertise these, therefore generating more revenue.  The fifth cottage, Groom’s Cottage, has until recently been let out on a short assured tenancy but has just undergone a full refurbishment to include rewiring, replumbing, kitchen, bathroom, flooring and would make an ideal permanent residence for an additional family member, or member of staff, perhaps.   Maid’s Lodge: Two bedrooms, kitchen/living room, bathroom Stables Cottage: Three bedrooms, living room, kitchen, bathroom Groom’s Cottage: Recently refurbished with two bedrooms, open plan kitchen/living room, bathroom The Hayloft: Three bedrooms, living room, kitchen, bathroom Fisherman’s Rest: One bedroom, kitchen/living room, bathroom.   Outside Burnfoot House is approached via a small bridge and driveway that splits before the front of the house to a gravelled parking and turning circle at the front, while a further driveway continues to the rear of the building, where the double garage, cottages, covered courtyard and additional parking can be found. The garden grounds have been well-tended to over the years.  There is a terrace for outdoor entertaining, wooded area, small paddock and lawns, with mature shrubs and bushes, and flowering borders.  Attached to the main house is also a charming orangery, where peaches and grapes are grown successfully. Also located within the former stable block is a generous games room, stable with two loose boxes, storeroom and wood store.   Fishing There is one mile of mixed single and double bank fishing on the River Esk, with salmon and sea trout seasonally present.  In total, with a combination of garden, grounds, riverbank etc, the land extends to approximately 14 acres.
