The Property

Located on the periphery of the rural village of Johnby, Brownhills sits in a secluded location on the edge of the Lake District National Park, which is also a World Heritage Site. Brownhills is located approximately 0.5 miles from Johnby and 2.5 miles from Greystoke, which offers a range of local amenities such as a primary school, public house, post office, swimming pool and village hall. There are good public transport links with a bus service that runs to the local market town of Penrith.

The historic market town of Penrith is located approximately 7.5 miles from Brownhills and offers a full range of amenities.

Brownhills currently consists of three separate dwellings, set within a ring fence. There is a traditional three-bedroom, two reception room farmhouse and two self-contained apartments. Externally, there is a shared garden area with parking, a paddock, and a stone-built outbuilding.

The property requires renovation works throughout with great potential for a range of uses. The existing three residential units could be renovated to provide rental income, be utilised as holidays lets, or alternatively one large residential unit could be created, all subject to the relevant planning permissions being obtained.
