Fed up with your neighbours? Want to live in the middle of nowhere and live a peaceful life? How does living in England’s most remote house sound?
No, it’s not a dream… you could purchase the most remote property in England and its surrounding lands on Rightmove.
Situated in the middle of Skiddaw Forrest in Cumbria, the property was built in 1829 by the Earl of Egremont of Cockermouth Castle.
The property is only accessible by foot or 4x4. And if you’re interested, you’re not the only one!
The property and land have been on the market for quite some time, having been the most viewed on Rightmove in August 2021.
It was previously listed for offers in the region of £1,500,000, but the Rightmove listing now states POA.
The property now has a listed closing date for offers, so if this location is for you you'd better move fast as 12pm on Wednesday, November 23 is your last chance to make an offer.
