Vivat Trust | The Vivat Properties: "Church Brow Cottage was designed as a summer retreat for Abbots Brow House circa 1830. Perched on a steep bank of the River Lune the cottage commands a spectacular view across the valley, which John Ruskin described as 'one of the loveliest scenes in England, therefore the world' in 1875. Built in the Romantic Gothic style, this late Georgian garden pavilion with its pretty arched windows fulfils the notions of the rural idyll made popular in the mid-eighteenth century by the utopian novels of Jean Jacques Rousseau. Church Brow Cottage has timeless qualities and makes an enchanting holiday destination. The property whilst outside the Lake District is still in a wonderful part of Cumbria and therefore still noteworthy.
