The Property
Dating from the 18th century with outstanding views across the Derwent Valley, this impressive and deceptively large 3-bedroom property has been sensitively modernised and forms part of the original Brigham Mansion and is steeped in history. It was the residence of Lord Joshua Lucock, the then High Sheriff of Cumberland, who also remodelled Wordsworth House in Cockermouth.

The 1700s stone pillared portico entrance offers an eye-catching and impressive welcome to 2 Brigham Hill Mansion. Half-glazed double doors open to the kitchen/breakfast room with a fine range of contemporary units that blend with original decorative coving and high ceilings. A door
leads to the Grand Hall which provides flexible living accommodation and a potential further lounge or dining area. The magnificent original sweeping staircase, adorned with wall panelling and coving, rises to the galleried first floor.

Downstairs, the sitting room stretches the full depth of the property with dual aspect large windows capturing the fantastic views. An open fire sits to one side with an original marble surround and elegant inset tiles. The dining room offers further entertaining space and is currently used as a studio, though could also become a home office / second lounge, with the opportunity to work in an inspiring environment. An anteroom provides additional space and a ceiling-to-floor built-in
storage cupboard, which potentially could be converted into a second bathroom.

There are three large double bedrooms on the first floor accessed via an impressive landing, all of which could potentially be converted to en-suites. The principal bedroom is dual aspect with large windows framing the far-reaching views. The two remaining bedrooms also benefit from wonderful outlooks. The bedrooms are served by the family bathroom with suite comprising bath, separate corner shower, wash hand basin, WC and heated towel rail.

Externally
2 Brigham Hill Mansion is in a secluded, quiet location in the village of Brigham, commanding extensive views. Gravelled gardens sweep around the front and side of the property, which are very befitting of a Mansion from the 1700’s. A perfect place to sit and absorb the panoramic views stretching across the beautiful Cumbrian countryside. Parking is available for several vehicles.

An additional plot of land is available by separate negotiation.
