Set in one of the Lakes' most sought-after locations, this detached home offers space, privacy and flexibility in abundance. It now needs to be brought up to a modern standard, but the foundations are excellent. With the right vision, Brantwood could become a very special family home, second home or Lake District retreat.

Set at the head of a quiet lane between Windermere and Troutbeck Bridge, the house feels tucked away and private, while still being close to the amenities, schools, transport links and everyday convenience of the central Lakes. It is a brilliant position for those who want peace and space, without feeling remote.
Built in the 1960s, Brantwood has remained in the same family ownership ever since. There is a strong sense that the home has been well loved, but is now ready for its next chapter. The accommodation is currently arranged as a three bedroom bungalow on the ground floor, with a separate one bedroom flat on the lower ground floor. This gives the property a rare level of flexibility, whether you are looking for a permanent family home, multi-generational living, a second home, guest accommodation or potential holiday let use, subject to any necessary consents.

The main living accommodation is on the upper level, accessed from the rear. From here, the house opens into a spacious and practical layout, with the principal rooms making the most of the outlook. The living room is generous and dual aspect, with natural light from more than one side and views across the gardens towards the trees, fells and glimpses of Lake Windermere beyond.
A balcony runs along the length of the house, creating a wonderful connection between the living space and the setting. At present, the lake view is seen in glimpses through the neighbouring trees, but there is clear scope for this to be improved with careful management of the tree line. It already feels peaceful and elevated, but with some thought, the outlook could become an even greater part of daily life at Brantwood.

The kitchen is separate and ready for modernisation. Depending on the plans of the next owner, there may be scope to rework the layout and create a more open, sociable living kitchen, designed around light, views and connection to the balcony and garden. The scale and simplicity of the existing layout make it easy to imagine how the house could be brought up to date.

Also on this level are three bedrooms, a bathroom and separate WC. The accommodation is practical as it stands. The bedrooms could be modernised, the bathroom spaces upgraded, and the overall flow refined to suit modern family life or a more relaxed Lake District retreat.

The lower ground floor adds a further layer of possibility. Currently arranged as a large one bedroom flat, it has its own access from the side and includes a spacious open plan living room and kitchen area, a bedroom, en-suite bathroom and storage. This part of the house has not been occupied for several years and now requires attention, but the floor area is substantial and gives the property much more versatility than first expected.

At present, the arrangement works well for multi-generational living, guests, older children or visiting family. There is also the option to reconnect the two floors, with a staircase potentially added back in to create a more natural flow between the upper and lower levels. Depending on the vision of the next owner, this lower floor could become an amazing principal bedroom suite, with an en-suite and dressing room, or it could be transformed into a large open plan living kitchen, opening directly onto the garden level. For buyers considering holiday let potential, the current arrangement may also be of interest, subject to the relevant permissions and regulations.

Outside, Brantwood sits in mature gardens of approximately 0.3 acres. The plot gives the house breathing space, with established planting, privacy and plenty of room to improve the landscaping. There is scope to create terraces, seating areas, more usable garden spaces and viewpoints that make the most of the elevation and outlook.

There is also driveway parking and an attached garage, both valuable features in this location. With superfast broadband available, the house also has practical appeal for those who may need to work from home or spend longer periods in the Lakes.

Brantwood is a project, but it is not just about modernising a house. It is about taking a well-positioned, detached home with space, elevation, gardens, views and flexibility, and turning it into something truly special.

For the right buyer, this is a rare opportunity in a sought-after Lake District location. The setting is already there. The plot is already there. The view is already beginning to reveal itself. What Brantwood needs now is fresh energy, thoughtful design and someone ready to unlock its next chapter.
