Brantgate is situated in the unspoilt hamlet of Mosedale in the North Lake District, and is approximately 12 miles from Penrith to the east and 10 miles to Keswick to the west.  The house nestles at the very foot of Carrock Fell, one of the fells in the Northern Fell Group. The outlook to the rear is the steeply rising flank of Carrock Fell, and the view to the front is a patchwork Quilt of open fields
