Brockhole on Windermere

A beautiful lakeside Arts & Crafts villa set in extensive grounds on the shores of Windermere. 

Designed by architect Dan Gibson as a holiday home for silk merchant William Gaddum and his wife Edith (née) Potter, cousin to Beatrix Potter.

Brockhole is one of the lesser known Arts & Crafts treasures of Cumbria, but one you should certainly put on your ‘Lake District historic houses and gardens’ must visit list – if only for The Gaddum!
