Christie + Co appointed to sell Scalesceugh Hall

Specialist property adviser Christie + Co has been instructed to sell the grade II-listed Scalesceugh Hall located in the village of Carleton near Carlisle.

Built in 1914 as a private residence, the elegant Edwardian Country House has most recently served as a charitable residential care home.

Set within a three acre site containing landscaped gardens and woodland, Scalesceugh Hall offers an impressive range of listed features dating back to the 17th century that include elaborate fireplaces, panelling and cornice work. The property also benefits from extensive car parking facilities.

Julie Kitson, Associate Director at Christie + Co’s Newcastle office is handling the sale. She comments: “Scalesceugh Hall currently has planning for a 47 bedroom care home with associated close care cottages, however we feel that the property can lend itself to a number of different uses including hospitality, subject to all necessary consents, and offers the future purchaser a fantastic opportunity.”

Christie + Co is seeking offers of £895,000 for the freehold interest in the property.
