Allonby, Maryport4 bedroom House - Detached for sale

About this property

OWNERS' COMMENTS
"Living in Allonby has meant walks along the beach, uninterrupted views of Scotland and the Isle of Man and spectacular sunsets. Sitting at the end of the day on the bench at the front with a glass of wine watching an unexpected sunset, or sitting cosy indoors watching stormy skies and fearless windsurfers. We have been lucky to enjoy this for nearly 30 years but we have made the decision to move nearer to our children who spread their wings some years ago. We will miss Allonby so much".
