This is a home where history meets comfort, where every detail feels considered, and where the surrounding space allows life to unfold with ease.
Built by GH Pattinson in the early 1900s, the house carries the hallmarks of classic Lakeland design. A handsome stone arch frames the entrance porch, while the whitewashed exterior and slate roof blend effortlessly into the landscape.
Currently a thriving holiday let, Brunton Lodge offers flexibility in abundance. With generous rooms, a bright conservatory, large mature garden and private parking, it's ready to be a treasured family home, second retreat, or to continue as it is, a source of income.
Turn off the road, through the gateposts and into the driveway. Park in front of the home where there's room for up to 3 cars. A detached garage sits further back, neatly positioned beyond the lawn, perfect for keeping bikes, golf clubs, paddleboards or canoes close at hand. Make your way under the arch, and into the large porch beautifully framed by flowering wisteria.
Shake off umbrellas, kick off your boots, and step through the glazed entrance into a wide and welcoming hallway. To your right, a deep cupboard stands ready to gather coats and wellies, keeping the entrance calm and clear, ready for your return home.
Light Filled Living
Make your way into the large lounge, with dual aspect windows flooding the space in natural light and showcasing the views of the garden beyond.
Cosily carpeted and with a calming décor, it's a bright and inviting space. An open fireplace is ready for a fire to warm the room as soon as the evenings cool, and with plenty of space to stretch out, sink into a sofa and settle in for a movie night with the family.
Alternatively, relax in the conservatory, situated on the south elevation, it is filled with light and surrounded by garden views.
Effortless Entertaining
From the entrance hall, make your way into the dining room. With dual aspect leaded windows, providing the perfect backdrop to any occasion. Feature pendant lighting adds to the illumination, so be it a candlelit dinner or a game of cards after dinner, this room welcomes both celebration and simplicity.
Flow through to the shaker-style kitchen with ample cream cabinetry and plenty of worktop space to prepare meals and treats. A range of integrated appliances and terracotta tiles underfoot make for easy entertaining.
In summer, step through the conservatory and open the French doors onto the wide terrace. Here you can enjoy breakfast with the birdsong, or an evening meal amongst the greenery, watching the sun dip behind the trees.
Practical Meets Peaceful
Freshen up in the cloakroom, complete with a WC and washbasin, before continuing through to the utility room. Thoughtfully designed with matching cabinetry and worktops to the kitchen, this practical space houses a washer, dryer, freezer and sink. A second door leads out to a porch, offering a useful way to return home after countryside walks or muddy adventures with canine companions.
Further useful space is provided by the cellar, with access tucked away to the rear of the home, it could be used as a workshop or drying room. It houses the wall mounted gas boiler, which is less than a year old.
Sweet Dreams
Return to the entrance hall and make your way up the curved staircase to the upper floor. Turn right into the family bathroom, comprising a bath with an overhead shower, washbasin, WC and heated towel rail, all set in a crisp, clean finish.
Next door, a large double bedroom awaits. Overlooking the garden and with fitted wardrobes to keep all personal items neatly organised, it's a calming room.
Make your way along the landing into another light-filled double bedroom, where soft tones and natural light create a relaxing atmosphere. Built-in wardrobes offer plenty of storage without compromising space and the en-suite provides all the essentials, with a shower, washbasin, WC and heated towel rail.
The third bedroom is currently fitted with inbuilt storage and bunk beds. Ideal for children or visiting guests, it's a flexible space that can easily adapt to your needs; use it as a playroom for little ones, set it up as a cosy guest room, or transform it into a home office. The hot water tank is also housed here, neatly tucked away and out of sight.
Gardens and Grounds
Brunton Lodge is set in substantial, mature gardens which are alive with colour, birdsong and seasonal rhythm.
Turn in through the gateposts and follow the driveway to the front of the house, where there's parking for up to three cars, with the garage just beyond. For paddleboards, golf clubs or bikes, the garage offers secure and spacious storage, keeping everything close at hand for weekend adventures.
A side gate leads through to the private rear garden and sunny terrace, where life naturally spills outdoors. The generous lawn, bordered by high hedging and well stocked borders, offers both space and seclusion, an ideal area for children to run, explore and play, or for dogs to stretch out in the sun.
Stone steps lead up to the terrace, which catches the best of the day's light from late morning into the evening. It's the perfect spot for outdoor breakfasts, relaxed lunches or evening drinks as the sky softens. Positioned just outside the conservatory, and with French doors connecting the two spaces, the flow between indoors and out feels effortless. On warm days, open everything up and let the breeze carry in the scent of cut grass and summer roses.
Whether you're entertaining guests, enjoying a quiet morning coffee, or watching the children play as you read a book nearby, the garden with its terrace feels like an extension of the home.
