Bronze Brow is a characterful detached stone cottage set in a large, private plot on the edge of Armathwaite. The house centres on a dramatic open-plan living space with vaulted ceiling, skylights and a glazed gable that brings countryside views and natural light into the heart of the home. A mezzanine art studio and a cosy snug with a log burner add flexible living and creative space. The sizeable master bedroom suite includes extensive built-in wardrobes and an en-suite with freestanding bath and separate shower.
The mature, professionally landscaped gardens enjoy a southerly aspect and open rural views; planting, wisteria and decorative brickwork create a strong Mediterranean feel despite the village setting. The property feels peaceful and private — ideal for someone seeking tranquillity and character without immediate neighbours.
Practical considerations are clear: the house is an older stone build (pre-1900) with assumed uninsulated walls and an EPC rating D. Heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, and broadband speeds are reported as very slow — factors to consider if you work from home or seek low running costs. The location is rural and remote, with average mobile signal. Overall, Bronze Brow will suit buyers who prioritise charm, outdoor space and country living and who are prepared to invest in energy improvements or accept the compromises of a rural stone cottage.
