Dating from the 1930s and boasting uninterrupted scenes that include Cat Bells and Grisedale Pike, Bracken Hue offers flexible family living in an unrivalled position.

Originally built as a gardener's cottage for Lyzzick Hall, Bracken Hue has been thoughtfully extended and modernised over the years, evolving into the warm and spacious family home it is today, rich with Lakeland history.

Make your way into the driveway, where there is ample parking space, including a dedicated carport tall enough for a motorhome, and make your way to the front door.

Step through the front entrance into a welcoming area with room to hang up jackets and ease out of boots. To the left, the utility room offers a practical, well-equipped space, complete with sink, fitted cabinetry, and plumbing for both washing machine and dryer. A tiled floor makes light work of muddy boots or paws, making it the perfect place to return to after a day spent exploring.

Next door, the open-plan kitchen and dining area unfolds, generous in both size and warmth. Cabinetry runs above and below the worktops, offering ample storage for gadgets, groceries and everyday essentials, while integrated appliances include a Neff induction hob and a Hotpoint double oven, with space in place for a dishwasher.

Flow into the dining area, where a solid oak floor stretches beneath your feet and the fells take centre stage beyond the large bay window. From here, the outlook that includes Catbells, Grisedale Pike and Grassmoor provides a spectacular backdrop for family mealtimes and evening entertaining.

Whether chatting to the cook as dinner simmers or gathering with friends over a glass of wine, this is a space designed for connection, framed by some of the finest views in the Lakes.

Step down into the spacious lounge, where a multi-fuel stove rests within the inglenook fireplace, ready to cast warmth and a gentle glow on cooler evenings. Natural light pours in through two bay windows, perfectly framing the ever-changing scenes of the fells beyond.
Furnish the room with deep armchairs and inviting sofas, creating a haven for slow mornings, quiet reading, or relaxed movie nights shared with friends and family.

Return to the entrance hall and take the door beside the kitchen. Follow the steps down to the lower floor, where a spacious cellar stretches the full length of the house. Fitted with lighting and housing the boiler, it offers a superb storage solution, ideal for everything from seasonal decorations to outdoor gear.

Continue down to find a convenient cloakroom, complete with WC and washbasin, before stepping through into the garden room.

A large bay window frames idyllic views of the garden and fells beyond, while a door opens directly onto the outdoor space. Versatile and welcoming, this room lends itself beautifully as a peaceful seating area, an occasional bedroom, or a cosy snug.

Return to the entrance hall and continue ahead into the study, a practical space complete with built-in storage cupboards and its own external door, offering an alternative entrance to the home. With ample room to create a boot room or utility-style area, it's a flexible space full of potential.

Next door, a handy cloakroom with WC and washbasin offers convenience for both family and visitors alike.

Ascend the half-turn staircase to the upper floor, where light and space from the large 'waterfall window' continue to impress. Follow the corridor into the first of four beautifully bright bedrooms. Generous in size and illuminated by double-aspect windows, it's a room where each morning begins with sweeping views of the fells.

Step through into the en-suite, where a walk-in jet wash shower, heated towel rail, WC and washbasin provide a sleek and comfortable place to start or end the day.

Cross the hallway to find another bedroom overlooking the drive that is perfect for younger members of the family or visiting guests. Return to the hallway, pass the inbuilt storage cupboards and find another two light-filled, large bedrooms. Each one has neutral decor and enjoys far-reaching views, offering peaceful, restful spaces to unwind.
At the end of the hall, the family bathroom offers both comfort and practicality, featuring a corner bath, walk-in shower, washbasin, WC and built-in storage to keep everything neatly tucked away.

A Hidden Gem
Take the door leading to the converted loft, where cosy carpeting, skylights and clever eaves storage create a warm, inviting space. A perfect hideaway for grandchildren or visiting friends, this flexible room lends itself to a variety of uses, from a peaceful home office to an extra bedroom or snug.

Step up into the adjoining bathroom, bathed in natural light from twin skylights, and fitted with a large jacuzzi bath, washbasin and WC, making it a quiet retreat tucked into the top of the home.

Gardens and Grounds
The gardens at Bracken Hue unfold in layers, offering ample space to explore and enjoy. A driveway brings you to generous parking, including a dedicated carport.

A spacious decked area, with fitted lights, is perfectly placed to take in the majestic views. Steps lead down to a large lawn, edged by mature trees that bring both shelter and softness.
With direct access from the garden room, it's easy to let the outdoors in. Invite friends for summer picnics, garden parties or relaxed afternoons that spill out onto the lawn.

Descend the steps to the lower area, where a secluded circular patio offers a cool, shaded corner, a favourite spot for drinks with friends or Sunday newspapers on slow weekends.
Further down, discover another lawned space with fruit trees and home to a greenhouse and vegetable beds, offering a haven for green fingers. Grow your own, potter in peace, or let the seasons dictate your pace.

With two sheds, dappled shade, mature plants and trees, this is a garden made for games, entertaining, wandering, gardening and enjoying in every season.

Connections are surprisingly convenient. The A66 links easily to Penrith and the M6, while the West Coast mainline puts London just over three hours away via Penrith train station.
