Property Summary

A rare Grade II* listed coastal cottage with over 500 years of history. Manor Stead is a rare opportunity to own part of one of St Bees’ most historically significant homes - a Grade II* listed early-16th-century hall house, understood to date from before 1517 and associated with the Grindal family. The property retains documented historic fabric, including an original chamfered stone door surround and original roof trusses, giving buyers a direct connection to over 500 years of local history. Carefully renovated for modern use, it offers a distinctive permanent home, coastal retreat or potential holiday let, subject to the necessary checks.
Set in the heart of the historic coastal village of St Bees, this characterful two-bedroom cottage combines genuine heritage with practical modern living. Carefully renovated throughout, the property offers a newly fitted kitchen, fresh bathroom, two double bedrooms, gas central heating, private outdoor space and parking - a combination rarely found in a home of this age and character.
Inside, the property retains the charm and atmosphere expected from a historic cottage, while the refurbishment makes it immediately usable as a full-time home, coastal retreat or potential holiday let, subject to any necessary permissions, insurance requirements and local checks. The layout is particularly well suited to a couple, downsizer, second-home buyer or investor looking for a distinctive property with genuine story, scarcity and lifestyle appeal.
St Bees itself adds another layer of appeal. Known for its beach, dramatic coastline and heritage setting.
