Summary - Warcop House, Warcop CA16 6NX
5 bed 5 bath Country House
Large listed country house with south gardens and 2.5 acre paddock — listed constraints apply.
Grade II listed Victorian country house with strong original features
Brookfield House is a substantial Grade II listed Victorian country house set on the edge of Warcop, offering classic sandstone detailing, tall sash windows and high ceilings across almost 3,843 sq ft. The house sits behind stone gate piers on a long gravel drive with generous forecourt parking, a south-facing terrace and formal garden, plus an approximately 2.5 acre paddock and wildlife pond — a rare combination of formal garden and useful grazing or amenity land.
Internally the house retains strong period character: deep skirtings, painted timber panelling, decorative cornicing and original fireplaces. The well-equipped dining kitchen features bespoke cabinetry, a large island and integrated appliances, while reception rooms flow from the central hall. Five bedrooms include two principal suites and two family bathrooms, giving flexible space for family living, home working or regular guests. Practical ancillary rooms include a basement storeroom, utility room and an outdoor pavilion with sink and WC.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance and consenting. Broadband speeds are very slow, and there is a medium flood risk — both factors to check for remote working or connectivity needs. A covenant limits building on part of the rear paddock. Heating is provided via a wood‑pellet boiler with radiators (bulk fuel) and services include mains water, electricity and drainage.
This is a good opportunity for a family wanting a character house with substantial grounds and versatile rooms, or for buyers seeking a lifestyle property close to both the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales. Expect conservation responsibilities, some practical compromises for modern connectivity, and planning constraints tied to the listing and covenant.
