High Brigham, Brigham, CA13

Tucked away in the charming centre of Brigham village, this remarkably roomy and detached residence at Number 61 offers generous living space throughout. Once a longstanding hub for the local community as the village shop, the property has since been thoughtfully transformed into a warm and inviting home. Rich in character and sympathetically styled, it presents an ideal opportunity for family living at the very heart of this welcoming village setting. High Brigham is a sought-after part of Brigham village, offering a peaceful, scenic setting near Cockermouth and the Lake District. It's ideal for families and outdoor enthusiasts, with easy access to local amenities and nearby beauty spots like Loweswater, Buttermere, and the Solway Coast.

The property offers an impressive amount of living space, beginning with a welcoming lounge, centred around a charming open fireplace with multi-fuel stove. A handcrafted solid wood kitchen with a cottage feel opens into a dining area, creating a sociable and relaxed atmosphere. The former shop area has been imaginatively reworked into a spacious, light filled zone currently used as a dining area and studio, though it could easily serve as an additional reception space or be adapted to suit individual needs. The ground floor also includes a convenient cloakroom/WC and a generous walk in pantry.

Upstairs, you'll find three well proportioned double bedrooms, complemented by a shower room and a beautifully appointed separate bathroom. Outside, the rear courtyard leads via steps to a south facing suntrap garden, well maintained, complete with a charming stone built bothy. To the side, there's a large single garage - a rare feature for this kind of home - offering space for a car and potential for EV charging. A handy storeroom is also located at the rear, adding further practicality to this unique home.
