Brook House is a substantial Victorian detached home (circa 1865) set in generous gardens with a stream and countryside views to Knock Murton. The house offers large, light rooms with high ceilings, exposed beams and a wood-burning stove, giving authentic period character and family-scale living spaces. There is clear scope to increase accommodation by converting the attic into a fourth bedroom and by sympathetically converting the double-height barn/workshop (subject to approvals).
Practical details are straightforward: the property is freehold and will be sold at auction. Heating is by oil-fired boiler and radiators, drainage is to a recently installed septic tank, and windows are double glazed. The plot includes off-street parking for 3–4 cars and a rear garden with established planting; the barn is currently in need of work but offers studio or ancillary accommodation potential.
Buyers should note a number of material considerations: the EPC rating is F, external stone walls are likely uninsulated, broadband speeds are slow in the area, and the barn requires repair before use. These factors suit purchasers seeking a character home to modernise or to extend, rather than someone wanting a fully turnkey property. Good road links place Cockermouth, Workington and Whitehaven within easy reach, while local schools and village amenities support family living.
Overall this is a roomy, characterful rural home with development potential and a substantial garden; it will appeal to buyers who value original features and countryside setting and who are prepared to invest in energy improvements and barn works.
