An exceptional opportunity to acquire a well-positioned residential development site extending to approximately 1.75 acres, located to the North of Station Road in the charming coastal village of Drigg. The site benefits from full planning permission for nine dwellings, granted in October 2023, offering an attractive prospect for developers seeking a ready-to-go project in a desirable semi-rural setting.
Location & Connectivity
Drigg is a lovely semi-rural village situated on the western coast of Cumbria, approximately 40 miles southwest of Carlisle. The village enjoys excellent connectivity via the nearby A595, providing convenient access to key regional centres including Whitehaven and Workington.
The area is also ideally positioned for those working at Sellafield, one of the region’s most popular employment hubs, located just a short distance away.
Local Amenities & Lifestyle
Drigg offers a welcoming community atmosphere with a range of local amenities including a village hall, church, train station, and craft shop. Just a short five-minute drive—or a brief train journey—brings you to Seascale Beach, a highly regarded coastal destination known for its natural beauty.
The nearby village of Seascale provides a wider selection of amenities including shops, schools, pubs, and additional community facilities, making it an ideal complement to Drigg’s tranquil setting. For those seeking outdoor pursuits, the site is well located for access to Wasdale and the stunning Lake District National Park, offering some of the UK’s most spectacular landscapes.
The attractive village of Gosforth is also nearby, renowned for its character and selection of quality eateries, including the highly regarded The Wild Olive. Additionally, the historic Muncasteer Castle lies within easy reach, further enhancing the area’s appeal.
The Lake District National Park is a 15 minute drive from the location also, with Wasdale and Eskdale being some of the stunning places to visit.
The Site
The site extends to approximately 1.75 acres and comprises a relatively flat parcel of land, making it highly suitable for development. It benefits from direct roadside access, enhancing ease of construction and future residential appeal. There is also an access lane to the east and fields to the northern and western boundaries. The land is currently used as agricultural grazing land.
With full planning permission already in place for nine residential dwellings, the site offers a streamlined opportunity for developers to commence works with minimal delay. Further details, including planning references and supporting documentation, are available upon request.
