Description

This prestigious period house located in an outstanding position displays many original features together with the benefits of having undergone extensive modernisation by the current vendor to include modern comforts such as double glazing, gas-fired central heating and contemporary fitted bathrooms, kitchen, and utility room.

The accommodation is of elegant proportions, and offers, on the ground floor: entrance vestibule, spacious reception hall, four large reception rooms - currently used as lounge, dining room, sitting room and sunroom - and a breakfast kitchen. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms – each with their own luxury en-suite – and a house WC/Cloaks. The basement offers two large store areas (one accessed externally), double bedroom with en-suite bathroom and utility room. Outside, the house is approached via a large driveway with parking for many vehicles, and it sits within generous landscaped gardens on all sides, which include formal and informal areas, former tennis court, and garden stores/ sheds. There is also “The Coach House” – an additional business/family accommodation opportunity with bedroom, kitchenette, WC, shower room and mezzanine bedroom. To the rear of The Coach House is a private patio complete with hot tub. Also within the gardens is the owner’s office/studio and large, recently installed Scandinavian BBQ hut, all complete with extensive outdoor lighting throughout the grounds for the dark evenings. Perfectly ideal for those with hobbies or home business.

Scenery Hill House enjoys an elevated position on the edge of Branthwaite with panoramic views towards the Lorton Vale, Scafell Pike, Pillar, Great Gable and indeed enjoys delightful outlooks in all directions over the gardens. The entrance to Scenery Hill House is off Fifkettle Brow, nestled between the Lillyhall Roundabout and the delightful village of Dean. The property is just 20 miles west of Keswick. Keswick is the main tourist centre for the northern part of the Lake District National Park and has a wide range of amenities and visitor attractions. High Lorton and Lorton Vale is just 10 miles east - a quieter and more tranquil area which offers stunning scenery, and just a few miles south are the picturesque lakes of Loweswater, Crummock Water and Buttermere. Branthwaite is a very popular area to live, and has a successful primary school, together with village hall, pub, local church, and strong community spirit. For everyday requirements, continuing North on the A595 you reach Cockermouth, a busy Georgian market town, itself offering an extensive range of local facilities and popular secondary school etc.
