As you make your way towards the ever-popular village of Dufton, you’ll find yourself captivated by the dramatic landscape that unfolds along the country lanes. Lush green meadows stretch out before you, neatly bordered by traditional dry-stone walls. The majestic fells of the Pennines grow ever closer; their omnipresence a striking prelude to your arrival in the village.

A rural haven, Dufton embodies a sense of community that feels worlds apart from the bustle of city life. Time moves at a gentler pace here. Leisure hours are often spent walking the surrounding fells; many of which can be accessed directly from your doorstep; or enjoying a relaxing drink in the beer garden of The Stag Inn, just a few minutes’ stroll away. Pop into the local tea room for a slice of homemade cake and a warm chat with your neighbour and for families with young children, a weekly playgroup is held at the village hall, which also hosts numerous community events throughout the year; further enriching the friendly and welcoming atmosphere of this delightful, yet peaceful village.

Tucked away in a small and exclusive cul-de-sac, Browthwaite is a thoughtfully designed development built by the highly regarded Russell Armer Homes of Kendal around 2002. Number 4 enjoys a tucked-away position down a private gravelled drive and is one of only three homes in this part of the development; which has blended naturally into the landscape over the years.

Park with ease on the private herringbone block-paved driveway, which provides space for two vehicles, and step inside this charming and beautifully presented family home.

Welcome to No. 4 Browthwaite…

Step into the light-filled hallway, kick off your walking boots, and immediately feel the sense of space and calm. To the left, you’ll find a well-proportioned cloakroom/WC, complete with a pedestal sink and low-flush toilet, accented by deep forest green feature walls that create a cosy and stylish contrast.

To the right lies the inviting family lounge, where dual-aspect windows bathe the room in natural light. Throw open the patio doors to the garden and be greeted by breathtaking views that stretch across to Dufton Pike and the dramatic High Cup Nick. It’s the kind of view that tempts you to pause and watch the changing weather sweep across the hills; or admire the neighbouring horses as they frolic in the adjacent paddock. The room is neutrally decorated, offering a blank canvas for your own design flair; with a beautiful Morsø wood-burning stove sitting proudly atop a sandstone hearth; perfect for warming your toes on cooler evenings.

Wander into the spacious kitchen diner, where the panoramic views compete with the generous space as the room’s standout feature. Designed for modern family living, this area is large enough to accommodate a substantial dining table; ideal for entertaining or gathering with loved ones. The warm tones of the fitted kitchen extend through to a snug seating area; where a cosy sofa and coffee table could easily create a secondary lounge space; or perhaps a dedicated children’s play zone. This is a room that adapts to your needs and lifestyle.

A separate utility room, with access to the rear garden, provides plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. The oil-fired boiler is mounted on a practical sandstone plinth.

Upstairs, a generous landing leads to four double bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. A useful airing cupboard at the top of the stairs houses the A-rated Gledhill pressurised water tank; ensuring excellent hot water performance throughout the home.
The principal bedroom enjoys glorious, uninterrupted views and benefits from a built-in wardrobe and en suite shower room; fitted with a mains-fed shower enclosure, low flush WC and vanity unit with integrated basin and storage.

Bedroom Two is similarly sized and finished in a soft cornflower blue; offering space for either fitted or freestanding furniture and a double bed. But it is the views of bedroom two that captivate and dominate!

Bedroom Three is a double and Bedroom Four is a generous single; ideal for children, guests or home office use. All are conveniently served by the family bathroom; which features a full-sized bath, pedestal sink, and low flush WC. The black-and-white checkerboard vinyl flooring adds a contemporary touch.

And then there’s the garden; where the heart truly soars.
Step outside and take in the sounds of the countryside; birdsong, distant livestock, and the whisper of the breeze through the trees. This property is surrounded by agricultural land; and the ancient fells provide a stunning and ever-present backdrop.

The garden wraps itself around the property and its boundary is a beautiful stone wall which blends seamlessly into the landscape.
