Bracken Rigg is a substantial Victorian country house set in about 1.25 acres of mature Lakeland grounds, with uninterrupted fell views across the Naddle Valley to Helvellyn and the Dodd range. The main five-bedroom house and adjoining four-bedroom self-contained annexe together provide almost 5,000 sq ft of flexible accommodation across multiple reception rooms and bedrooms — ideal for a large family who want separate guest or staff space.
The property sits within a peaceful rural hamlet under three miles from Keswick and ten miles from Grasmere, with fast broadband, very low local crime and easy access to outstanding local schools. Outside there is a sweeping driveway, extensive parking, double garage, summer house and expansive landscaped gardens that offer privacy and exceptional outdoor space for children and entertaining.
Practical details to note: heating is by oil-fired central heating, drainage is to a septic tank and the property uses a natural water supply with a private treatment facility — these systems will need routine maintenance and may affect some mortgage or insurance terms. The current owner operates the main house as self-catering accommodation while living in the annexe; future owners can continue holiday lets, occupy the main house and let the annexe, or use the whole estate as a single family home.
This is a rare rural Lakeland opportunity combining period character, panoramic views and substantial grounds. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, versatility and setting; purchasers should be prepared for the ongoing costs and responsibilities associated with private water and septic systems and an oil-fired heating arrangement.
