Description

This historic property, built in 1905, is nestled beneath Catbells and surrounded by a rock-carved garden, offering a dramatic backdrop. Originally built as a music room and garage for Brackenburn, the property was later extended by renowned author Sir Hugh Walpole, who described it as his "enchanted place" and "paradise on Catbells". The property has been visited by other notable literary figures, including Beatrix Potter and J.B. Priestley, and features a commemorative plaque. The property spans three levels, with a garage and utility on the ground floor, a kitchen and sitting room with lake views on the first floor, and three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the second floor, all retaining period features.
