www.carigietcowen.co.uk Suite 2 Telford House, Riverside, Warwick Road, CA1 2BT RICS Regulated E-mail: [email protected] LOCATION Big Pink House lies close to Wigton, just before Mealsgate on the A595 trunk road, linking Carlisle with West Cumbria. The market town of Wigton is approximately 6 miles away, Carlisle 16 miles north and Workington 16 miles south. The National Park lies relatively close and the town of Keswick is 15 miles south east.

The position is extremely prominent and is one of Cumbria’s busiest routes. Access into the property is immediately off the A595 into the dedicated car park. The property benefits from great views towards the Caldbeck and Lake District fells. This location is well located for accessing the national park and surrounding areas. For identification purposes only, the location is shown circled red on the attached OS plan overleaf.

DESCRIPTION Big Pink House briefly comprises a detached two storey property, providing 9 no. separate bedrooms with en- suites. In addition the building has garages, an attractive garden area, car park and additional field. The building is currently being utilised as a self-catering holiday accommodation for large groups of up to 22 people.
