The property
Nanny Brow House: A Timeless Arts & Crafts Masterpiece
Nestled above Cumbria's breathtaking Brathay Valley, Nanny Brow House stands as a testament to the enduring allure of Arts & Crafts architecture. This iconic property, built in 1903 by Yorkshire-born architect Francis Whitwell, offers a perfect blend of historical charm and modern luxury.
A Setting of Unparalleled Beauty
Perched on a crag that lends the house its name, Nanny Brow commands stunning views in every direction:
- To the west: Brathay Church and Windermere
- To the east: Lush gardens cascading down to Ivy Crag
- To the south-west: A panoramic vista of the Langdale Valley, with Wrynose Pass visible in the distance
The property is enveloped by nearly five acres of natural gardens, complete with 315 feet of private fishing rights on the River Brathay. A private gate provides direct access to surrounding National Trust lands, offering endless opportunities for exploration and outdoor pursuits.
An Architectural Marvel
Nanny Brow House is more than just a home; it's a work of art brought to life. Realized from an original painting by Whitwell himself, the property showcases the finest elements of Arts & Crafts design:
- Original oak floors and panelling
- Intricately carved oak fireplaces
- Plasterwork ceiling friezes depicting flora and fauna, including a whimsical tribute to Beatrix Potter's beloved characters
The main house boasts an impressive 14,581 sq ft of living space, complemented by a 746 sq ft annexe. With 17 suites, two attached cottages and multiple reception rooms, Nanny Brow offers unparalleled space and flexibility.
