About this property
Summary
An excellent residential development opportunity within the established coastal village of Flimby, benefiting from full planning permission for two dwellings. The site presents a clear, deliverable scheme in a well-connected West Cumbrian location, appealing to first-time developers, smaller builders, self-builders, and investors alike.
