The Property

Brough Hill House is an impressive country property with beautiful interior located close to Caldbeck Fell and the magnificent Lake District Fells. Situated on the outskirts of Bolton Low Houses, Brough Hill House sits in well-maintained landscaped gardens and has been extended over the years to create a stunning and well-proportioned home. The original farmhouse and cottage, dating back to the 1600's, has been renovated and extended sympathetically, retaining a wealth of character yet with modern touches such as multi-room sound technology. There is also full planning permission to extend the kitchen of the current house (Allerdale Council Planning Ref: HOU/2019/0022).



In addition, there is land and equestrian facilities that may be available by separate negotiation. This encompasses land of around 3.13 acres with a yard, stables with five boxes and an impressive 40m x 20m all-weather arena. In addition, there is outline planning permission in place for the development of four large houses, offering enormous further potential (Planning Ref: OUT/2019/0035).



There is an inviting and cosy feel on entering into the sitting room with original wooden beams, a wood burning stove and oak flooring creating a lovely country feel to the property. The kitchen continues this welcoming ambience, combining traditional and contemporary elements to offer a superb family kitchen/breakfast room, ideal for day to day dining. The room is filled with natural light from Velux windows, highlighting the slate flooring and a range of bespoke kitchen units with granite worksurfaces, oil-fired AGA, Belfast sink and integrated dishwasher. The kitchen is served by a separate utility, again with bespoke units, sink, ample additional storage and a fridge freezer/space for a fridge freezer.



Oak flooring flows from the hallway into a study/office, ideal for working from home. Also off the hallway is a generous family bathroom with suite comprising bath, wash hand basin and WC.



The remarkable and striking dining room/family room opens from the hallway. This room is modern and truly spacious with fabulous double doors opening out to the patio and hot tub area. To one end of the room is a comfortable and relaxing seating area with an electric fire, whilst to the other end is space for an expansive dining table and chairs. Adjoining the dining area is the fantastic games room with a well-stocked bar, offering a great place for a social occasion with plenty of room for entertaining friends and family. The conservatory adjoins the games room and is the perfect place to relax, again with doors leading out to the patio.



Stairs rise from the hallway to the first floor and the bedroom accommodation. There are five double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefitting from a Juliette balcony, bespoke handcrafted oak wardrobes and en-suite shower room with light contemporary fittings. The guest bedroom also has an en-suite shower room, with the remaining bedrooms served by a separate shower room. Underfloor heating adds a further touch of modern luxury to this room.



Externally

Electric gates lead onto a generous and exceptionally well-maintained parking area. The front garden of Brough Hill House is designed to be low maintenance, with ample space for seating and scope to develop flower beds if desired. The rear garden is mainly laid to sweeping lawn, dotted with beds and shrubs. The outdoor entertaining and eating area is absolutely superb, set up with a fridge, gas-fired barbecue and pizza oven. The preparation area is housed beneath an impressive cedar and slate roof gazebo with a decked seating area and electric available. To the side of the property is the hot tub, the perfect spot to end an evening of outdoor entertaining.



The detached double garage offers convenience and practicality, benefitting from electric doors, a gardeners WC to the rear and excellent storage space upstairs that could be utilised as an office. Behind the garage is a wooden garden shed for the storage of garden tools.



There is land to the south and west which may be available by separate negotiation extending to around 3.13 acres. There is a yard and stables with five boxes, and the fabulous 40m x 20m all-weather arena making this a hugely attractive proposition for interested parties looking for an equestrian facility.
