About this property
30 George Street is a welcoming three-storey house resting in Wigton, Cumbria, offering a well-laid-out base for families or groups of friends keen to explore this northern corner of the county. Located on a street leading to a pleasant park and with local amenities close by, this property suits guests who like convenience alongside space to spread out. Inside, the kitchen/diner forms a natural gathering spot, ideal for shared breakfasts and relaxed evening meals after days out. The sitting room provides a comfortable place to wind down with the TV, while the layout across three storeys allows everyone a little breathing room.
Four bedrooms are arranged to suit mixed groups, including two doubles and two singles, one of which sits on the second floor and benefits from its own en-suite bathroom. Two further shower rooms with walk-in showers help mornings run smoothly, and a handy utility adds extra practicality for longer stays. When it comes to exploring, Wigton is well placed for discovering a varied stretch of Cumbria. The seaside holiday resorts of Silloth and Allonby are both a twenty minute car ride away. Head to Keswick to browse independent shops, take a launch across Derwentwater, or visit the Derwent Pencil Museum for something a little different.
Cockermouth offers a traditional market town feel, with riverside walks, historic streets, and links to William Wordsworth, while Carlisle provides a livelier day out with its striking Carlisle Castle, cathedral, and shopping quarters. For outdoor adventures, the Lake District National Park is within easy reach, with walking routes, lakeside scenery, and visitor centres dotted throughout. After full days out, return to a familiar base at 30 George Street.
A traditional Cumbrian market town with a charter granted in 1262, which still holds a market each Friday in the covered market hall, along with an open air car boot sale which is held at Silloth. Wigton is a popular centre for shopping, pubs and restaurants, and also boasts a theatre, bowls, swimming, tennis and other sports. Lord Melvyn Bragg was a native of Wigton, and used the town (called Thurston in some of his writings) and the surrounding area as the setting for his novels including ‘A Time to Dance’. Located 18 miles from Penrith it is a good base for the attractions of the North Lakes, the cathedral city of Carlisle, 12 miles away, Keswick, just north of Derwentwater and close to Lake Bassenthwaite, and the natural beauty of the West Cumbrian Coast. Hadrian’s Wall is within 25 miles, while the Scottish Borders, and Gretna Green, are within easy reach.
