Development Opportunity

Make That Dream A Reality...You’ve Worked Hard For Your Success - Now The Long Hours, Missed School Plays & Sleepless Nights Will All Be Worth It. Imagine waking up to stunning views of the North Lakeland fells in this incredible architect designed family home. Inspect the ambitious plans for this idyllic site and your life-changing property dreams will be fulfilled. QUOTE AP0121

Located on the outskirts of Welton village, the one acre plot offers superb views of the rolling Cumbrian farmland and nearby Blencathra fell. 

Planning permission is rarely granted for such an isolated rural dwelling. Here full approval has been given, based on the exceptional design by architects Hurd Rolland. The planning consent for the development was granted pursuant to an application under Regulation 79 of the 2018 National Planning Policy Framework. In essence, this discourages new isolated homes in the countryside unless there are ‘special circumstances’, such as the exceptional quality or innovative nature of the proposal. Planning was passed after meticulous inspection by - Places Matter (RIBA) - A bespoke independent design review services for clients in north west England (see below for comments from the panel).

These plans offer you a truly unique opportunity to create a stunning home and a lasting legacy.

Taking inspiration from the local landscape, the plans will take your breath away.

It will be the ultimate family home. 

There are plans for five superking ensuite bedrooms, including a Master suite with a luxurious private bathroom and spacious dressing room.

The stunning design also includes four large reception rooms, a stunning breakfast kitchen and gym.

Thought has been given to creating the ideal space for entertaining, inside and out. You step out from the ground floor dining and kitchen area to the large south facing outdoor terrace. 

The plans also include consideration for all the practical necessities. 

The site layout includes a four vehicle carport, driveway with parking and sumptuous landscaped grounds with water gardens.

The Welton location means you can enjoy the benefits of the stunning Cumbrian setting without the seasonal traffic and tourist-trail chaos found in the nearby National Park. 

As you’ve never been one to follow the herd, buying in Welton makes financial sense too. With no ‘National Park Premium’ to pay, you’ll get so much more for your money by living just a small distance away.

Despite the unspoilt rural location, only four miles from the National Park, you’re surprisingly well connected. It’s only a twenty minute drive to historic Carlisle’s bustling city centre and retail parks.

You don’t need to travel to Carlisle for the daily essentials. Caldbeck village and the pretty village of Hesket Newmarket are only a short drive away and there’s even more to be found in nearby Dalston.

If you need to travel further afield, Carlisle connects you to London, Birmingham or Glasgow on the West Coast Main Line. For business travellers, Carlisle Airport is only half an hour by car, with connections to London Southend, Belfast City and Dublin airports.

For families with younger children, Raughton Primary School (rated Good by Ofsted) is only six minutes away in the car. Older kids don't have much further to travel, with Caldew School or Nelson Tomlinson close by.

If you're looking for fee paying independent schools, there's a choice of Lime House school (a short drive away) or Austin Friars in Carlisle.

If you've dreamed of creating an exciting and unique home for your family, this substantial plot with full planning consent could be exactly what you're looking for.

Some of the comments from Places Matter (RIBA) - A bespoke independent design review services for clients in north west England - about the extraordinary plans and design of this truly unique home set in an undiscovered gem of a location right next to the Lake District National Park -

Sensational setting, overall approach to the scheme is highly commended...

Excellent approach to positioning & proportion...

Looks as though it is intended to sit in the landscape, looks extraordinary...

A beautiful scheme, congratulations, a confident team who are clearly working very well together...

About Andrew Pearson – Powered by eXp

I'm Andrew Pearson, husband to Melanie and dad to Sadie & Charlie. Cumbrian born and bred, I currently live in Carlisle and have done for the last 23 years but have connections and links throughout the county. I have extensive estate agency experience gained over the last 15 years and have helped customers buy and sell houses in most areas of the county, including Carlisle, Penrith, The Lake District and West Cumbria. I have a true passion for all things property and with that in mind, I aim to offer something very different for estate agency in the area, with a truly customer-centric focus. Instead of dealing with multiple people within an office, I'll be there as your personal property consultant to guide you through the process from the initial valuation right up to the key handover. I'll be there when you need me, outside of the typical 9-5. By focusing on quality rather than quantity, sellers will no longer be just another instruction. We'll work together to create a bespoke service that's as unique as your property.
