Isel Bridge House

A Georgian river house, taken whole.

An exclusive-use Georgian house on a salmon beat of the Derwent, with five double bedrooms, a large kitchen, riverside lawn and the mossy arches of Isel Bridge at the foot of the garden. For families, friends, and the kind of weekend that needs no agenda.

The story

Isel Bridge House is a Georgian river house on a private salmon beat of the Derwent, four miles upstream of Cockermouth. The garden runs to the water; the mossy arches of Isel Bridge sit at the foot of it.

The whole house is taken on exclusive use — five double bedrooms, a long kitchen-dining room built for a table of ten, two sitting rooms, a boot room for the wet kit, and a wood-fired hot tub on the lawn.

It's a house for the kind of weekend that needs no agenda — fly fishing on the doorstep, walks straight out into Isel Park, and Cockermouth or Bassenthwaite a ten-minute drive when you want them.
