Dial House is an impressive period house set prominently in the village of Brough.
Brough has a village shop, primary school, outreach post office, a hotel and public house. Secondary schools are either the highly regarded Kirkby Stephen or Appleby Grammar schools. The town is just five miles from the popular market town of Kirkby Stephen which itself has a variety of day-to-day amenities including a supermarket, general shops, hotels, public houses, restaurants and various sporting facilities. Brough is also close to the A66 for Scotch Corner (A1[M]) and Penrith (M6), the Lakes and Carlisle and to the south via Kirkby Stephen to Tebay (M6) for Kendal and Lancaster.
The date stone above the door at Dial House reads 1884, this is the date the property was believed to be altered and modernised. The date 1747 is inscribed on the sun dial, which is thought to be the more accurate age of the property. Dial House offers the original features one would expect from a property of this age with high ceilings, bay windows and deep skirting boards. There is a beautiful turned staircase in the hall.
The house is in excellent order and has been well maintained by the current sellers. The windows were replaced just two years ago and all external walls have been insulated.
On the ground floor are two front reception rooms, one open plan to the dining room, both with multi fuel stoves. There is a modern, high quality family dining kitchen with integrated appliances and views out to the garden. To the rear is a cloakroom, utility room and a conservatory overlooking the gardens. Upstairs is a pleasant landing and four double bedrooms; the fifth bedroom is currently being used as a study. The master bedroom benefits from an ensuite shower room and extensive fitted wardrobes. The house bathroom was newly fitted in November 2023 and has been finished to an exceptionally high standard. The loft has potential to be converted into additional accommodation or office space if needed, subject to necessary permissions.
Outside, to the rear are extensive gardens, that run alongside the stream. The gardens have been landscaped to create an orchard with mature apple trees and a separate lawn with more formal, low maintenance flower and raised beds and a fishpond. There is a summerhouse and a pergola with large hot tub, a perfect place to enjoy the garden and afternoon sunshine. There is also a lovely decked patio, offering an further place to sit and enjoy the outside space.
A blocked paved drive way provides gated parking for several vehicles and leads up to a car port and a garage with an electric door.
Dial House is a fantastic family home. A viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the character, high specification and finish of the property.
