• This gives the property a rare level of flexibility, whether you are looking for a permanent family home, multi-generational living, a second home, guest accommodation or potential holiday let use, subject to any necessary consents
• At present, the lake view is seen in glimpses through the neighbouring trees, but there is clear scope for this to be improved with careful management of the tree line
• The kitchen is separate and ready for modernisation
• Depending on the plans of the next owner, there may be scope to rework the layout and create a more open, sociable living kitchen, designed around light, views and connection to the balcony and garden
• The bedrooms could be modernised, the bathroom spaces upgraded, and the overall flow refined to suit modern family life or a more relaxed Lake District retreat
• For buyers considering holiday let potential, the current arrangement may also be of interest, subject to the relevant permissions and regulations
• There is scope to create terraces, seating areas, more usable garden spaces and viewpoints that make the most of the elevation and outlook
• Brantwood is a project, but it is not just about modernising a house
