Description
Commanding one of the most breathtaking outlooks in the Ryburn Valley, Brockwell House is a distinguished Georgian residence of rare presence and heritage. Built in 1766 by the prominent Rawson family – close associates of Anne Lister of Shibden Hall – the house forms the centrepiece of a historic hamlet and has remained a landmark of quiet prestige ever since.
Set within beautifully layered gardens and grounds, with far-reaching views unfolding from many of its principal rooms, Brockwell House offers an exceptional lifestyle defined by space, history, and connection to the landscape.
THE HOUSE
GROUND FLOOR
A grand entrance hall sets the tone immediately, with ornate cornicing, a ceiling rose, and an elegant staircase rising through the heart of the home.
LOUNGE
A superb formal reception room, centred around curved stone mullion bay windows framed by flowering wisteria. Elevated valley views create a constantly-changing backdrop, while period detailing and arched recesses add architectural interest.
DINING ROOM
Refined and atmospheric, with an Adam-style fireplace, classic cornicing and another curved bay window capturing the sweeping landscape beyond.
KITCHEN
A welcoming blend of country charm and modern practicality, with cream shaker cabinetry, contrasting worktops and a central breakfast island seating four. Neff appliances and dual sash windows ensure both function and light.
UTILITY ROOM
Beautifully finished with painted panelling and generous storage, supporting everyday life discreetly.
VAULTED WINE CELLAR
A striking and practical feature for wine enthusiasts.
SITTING ROOM
A relaxed, versatile space with exposed beams, a gas fire and views across the gardens.
SUNROOM
A standout space designed to draw the outside in, with tiled flooring, expansive glazing, and direct access onto flagged terraces and stone tiers – perfect for morning coffee or evening sunsets.

FIRST FLOOR
A staircase adorned with the Rawson family crest leads to five generous double bedrooms, each with its own character. Sash and mullion windows, fireplaces, built-in furniture, and period detailing appear throughout, while the bathrooms are thoughtfully styled with heritage fittings, botanical tiling, and statement finishes.
One bedroom offers a particularly cherished ritual:
“Every morning, a little dog runs across the distant field to greet the horses – I watch it while having my tea in bed. I wish I could take this view with me.” – Current homeowner
ATTIC
Currently used for storage, the attic features exposed beams and original floorboards, offering excellent potential for further accommodation or work-from-home space (subject to any necessary consents).

GARDENS AND GROUNDS
The gardens are a defining feature of Brockwell House. Stone terraces, pathways, and seating areas weave through lawns, flowerbeds, and established planting. A trellised deck wrapped in wisteria offers a sheltered vantage point, while beyond lies a remarkable private arboretum (available for sale subject to separate negotiation), home to rare and unusual tree specimens nurtured over 25 years.
A greenhouse and stone outbuilding further enhance the sense of possibility, whether for gardening, creative pursuits or quiet retreat.
“The view is what’s most difficult to leave. The house has so much atmosphere – but the view is something you can’t replicate.” – Current homeowner
