Price Guide £195,000
Bracken House, Longthwaite Road, Wigton, CA7 9JR GENERAL DESCRIPTION A delightful mid-Victorian style detached house of traditional stone and slate construction providing an excellent degree of character throughout. Although very much of 19th century appearance it is understood that the house dates from the early years of the 20th century and it is one of several fine, period properties in this sought after area of Wigton just half a mile south of the town centre. The accommodation provides two good front reception rooms both with fireplaces, cloakroom/WC, fitted kitchen, a day/garden room and utility/washroom, a large single and two double bedrooms and modern shower room upstairs and then outside the forecourt and a good sized yard at the side providing ample space for off-street parking for garage or alternatively offering easy scope for landscaping and creating a more formal garden if required. There are central heating and double glazing. Bracken House stands within walking distance of the Wigton Medical Centre and a primary school, Nelson Thomlinson Secondary School, petrol station and bus services, the town centre catering well for everyday needs. There are also several sports clubs and the railway station within easy reach. Directions From our office head out of town and at the 'crossroads' just beyond the Medical Centre and before the petrol station turn right onto Longthwaite Road. Bracken House stands 200 yards up on the left hand side.
