2 Brigham Hill Mansion, Brigham, Cockermouth, Cumbria

Situated to the fringe of this always highly sought after village to the outskirts of Cockermouth, easily accessible to the Lake District National Park, a unique, 3 bedroomed, 18th Century period property retaining many original features in a quiet elevated position with far reaching views.

Formally the residence of the high Sheriff of Cumberland, 2 Brigham Hall Mansion is an impressive and deceptively spacious 3-bedroom property, dating from the 18th century, and occupies a peaceful setting with a pastoral outlook enjoying outstanding views across the Derwent Valley.

Found in excellent order, the property has been sensitively modernized by our client in recent years, while preserving a wide range of the original features, to create a well-proportioned, low maintenance, family home.

Accommodation wise, from the front the original stone pillared portico entrance opens via half-glazed French doors into the kitchen/dining room which has a range of contemporary units that blend with original decorative coving and high ceilings.

From here a door leads to the central hallway which retains the magnificent original sweeping staircase, adorned with wall panelling and coving, and rises to the galleried first floor, and has the potential as a further lounge or dining area.

From here an inner hallway, with useful built in storage, leads to the dining room / study and also the sitting room which stretches the full depth of the property with dual aspect large windows capturing the fantastic views. An open fire sits to one side with original marble surround and elegant inset tiles.

To the first floor, accessed via the impressive landing, are 3 double bedrooms, each with far reaching views and having the potential to be enhanced with ensuite facilities. The bedrooms are served by the family bathroom with suite comprising bath, separate corner shower, wash hand basin, WC and heated towel rail.

Externally, the property is in a secluded, quiet location to the fringe of the village of Brigham. Gravelled gardens sweep around the front and side of the property, which are very befitting of a Mansion from the 1700’s. Parking is available for several vehicles. An additional plot of land / allotment is available by separate negotiation.

A perfect place to sit and absorb the panoramic views stretching across beautiful Cumbrian countryside, viewing is highly recommended to appreciate.
