5 Bedroom Country House

Lesson Hall, Wigton, Cumbria

A Rare Opportunity to Restore a Historic Georgian Manor Farmhouse

Occupying an impressive position within the historic setting of Lesson Hall, this substantial Grade II listed Georgian manor farmhouse presents a unique and increasingly rare opportunity to acquire and restore a property of significant architectural and historical importance.

Requiring comprehensive refurbishment throughout, the property offers buyers the chance to create an exceptional country residence while preserving and enhancing its wealth of original period features. With its handsome Georgian proportions, traditional layout, and extensive grounds, the house has all the hallmarks of a distinguished manor farmhouse awaiting sympathetic restoration.

The accommodation extends to five generously proportioned double bedrooms, three reception rooms, a spacious kitchen-diner, and a family bathroom. While extensive modernisation is required, the existing layout provides an excellent foundation for creating a magnificent family home, with scope to reconfigure and enhance the accommodation subject to the necessary consents.

Many original character features remain intact, including fireplaces, sash windows, and other historic details that reflect the propertys Georgian heritage. These elements provide a wonderful basis upon which to restore the house to its former glory.

Externally, the property is particularly appealing. A traditional walled courtyard enhances the sense of history and offers considerable potential for landscaping, outdoor entertaining, or ancillary uses, subject to any necessary permissions. To the front, substantial gardens create an impressive approach and provide extensive outdoor space, offering the opportunity to establish beautiful formal gardens, kitchen gardens, or family recreational areas. Off-road parking is available for several vehicles.

As a Grade II listed building, the property benefits from protected architectural significance, ensuring the preservation of its historic character while offering the opportunity for sensitive improvement and restoration.

Situated in the attractive Cumbrian countryside near Wigton, Lesson Hall enjoys a peaceful rural setting while remaining conveniently accessible to local amenities, transport links, and the wider region.

This is an outstanding restoration project for purchasers seeking a property of genuine character and heritage. With vision and investment, Lesson Hall has the potential to be transformed back into the elegant Georgian manor farmhouse it once was, creating a remarkable family home of considerable distinction.
