Land for sale in St. Bees CA27

Struggling To Find A Large Family Home In St Bees? It’s no surprise - only five 4+ bedroom properties changed hands in 2023. If you can’t buy one, why not build one? You could create your dream family home on this spacious plot.

Building plots in St Bees are even more of a rarity than large properties for sale! This substantial plot is in a fantastic location on the edge of the village, giving spectacular views overlooking the historic school house.

Full planning permission has been granted for a superb 4 bed detached family home. The plot is being sold with the access road and all essential services included.

It also comes with the added bonus of a large building (29'4" x 19'7") which is fully wired and ready to be connected to the mains electric of the property. It would make a perfect games room, home office or gym. If you're looking for an additional income, it could be converted into a separate dwelling that would make an ideal AirBnB property (subject to any necessary planning).

For such a small village, St Bees has a vibrant community - it’s a great place to live and to bring up your family.

St Bees Village Primary (rated Good by Ofsted) is on the other side of the village - but still less than 15 minutes walk up quiet lanes or only 3 minutes in the car.

For older kids, the modern West Lakes Academy (rated Good by Ofsted) in Egremont less than 10 drive away. There's also the world famous, private secondary, St Bees School, which is just behind the plot.

It’s likely you’ll head to Egremont for your day-to-day needs, it has everything you’d want, with a range of local shops and an active local community.

Having said that, Whitehaven is only 15 minutes by car, where you’ll find all the bigger name stores, restaurants and takeaways.

And there’s no need to always take the car. St Bees has its own station with regular trains to Whitehaven, Barrow and Carlisle, where you can connect to the wider UK rail network.

If you’re frustrated by the lack of modern family homes to buy in St Bees this plot could be the perfect thinking-out-of-the-box solution.

Sure, it’s not for the faint-hearted and is going to take some work - but imagine the feeling of satisfaction and pride when you move into the dream home that you helped to create…
