DESCRIPTION
The Grade II* Listing is testament to this property's historic importance not just within North Cumbria but further afield as referenced by Pevsner and Historic England amongst others. Built in the 14th century by the De Briskau family as a fortified Pele Tower and gentrified in the 1690s, the property has been altered and remodelled over a period of six centuries to its current form. Newbiggin now has a 17th century facade and later Georgian features.

This property has been a beloved family home for 46 years whilst also providing second income stream from the two adjoining apartments. The extent of the accommodation is broad as are the potential opportunities for a new owner to maximise investment, subject to consents. The accommodation is full of character with period features and detail from many centuries.

The principal rooms on the ground floor are set within the imposing walls of the Pele Tower. These include a grand vaulted hall with a Georgian staircase rising through two upper storeys, an impressive dining room featuring a Listed fireplace, and a delightful sitting room that enjoys a dual aspect overlooking the front garden and a small wooded area. The spacious breakfast kitchen is equipped with a two-oven Aga and has direct access to the garden.

The property has evolved over time, offering a range of possibilities for further development. The two apartments, situated across portions of the ground and first floors, can be reintegrated into the main residence if desired. The ground floor apartment is most suited to being a separate space and presents income generating potential as a result.

The property sits within some three acres of landscaped gardens and wooded grounds. A private sweeping driveway and lawn fronts the property providing ample parking. A gateway through an impressive, Grade II listed, sandstone wall dating to the late 15th century, which formed part of a former outbuilding, leads through to another large formal lawned garden. There is a former greenhouse requiring renovation and a wilder wooded area of the garden grounds to the rear.
