About this listing

Unique bank barn conversion with impressive features, open plan living and large garage/workshop. Countryside views and good size plot. OVERVIEW With open countryside views and a pretty village location within the Lake District National Park, this three storey barn conversion must be viewed to be fully appreciated. A former Cumbrian bank barn, converted by the current owner, the property has a unique layout - the generous open plan living dining and kitchen space extends to 28' 8" x 27' 1" (8.74m x 8.24m) max making it ideal for entertaining and has impressive features and a woodburner. The garden room at the rear offers privacy for work or hobbies - a real bonus. The first floor has two double bedrooms, one of which is ensuite and there is a versatile mezzanine/gallery. The surprises continue on the lower ground floor with a large workshop and garage, perfect for tinkering, woodworking or hobbies plus a utility room and external store. The garden slopes away from the house on the banked up east elevation, blending into the surrounding fields yet still retaining space for play and relaxation close to the house. ACCOMMODATION Stone steps lead from the parking area up to the characterful wooden double doors and into the entrance vestibule. A handy cloakroom and WC lead to one side and glazed doors into the open plan living/dining and kitchen space. An impressive room with part vaulted ceiling, feature central staircase and wooden flooring running throughout. Light streams in from the tall French doors, windows front and rear and the two large Velux rooflights on the galleried landing above. A multi fuel stove provides a focal point to the living area. - The kitchen area has a range of freestanding units and a central island. For serious cooks, the commercial style gas (LPG) cooker with electric oven is a great addition and has a substantial stainless steel extractor above. Completing this level of the house is a garden room - another generous space with a Moroccan feel and exposed beams. French doors lead to the garden and there are pleasant views across open fields. Internal stairs lead down to the garage, workshop and utility. - The open stairs lead up onto the galleried landing with two large Velux rooflights providing natural light. The exposed beams and frame of the original building are a lovely feature and care and attention was used in retaining their character during conversion. The generous vaulted mezzanine is the perfect spot for hobbies or a statement chair or sofa bed. A platform has been created within the roof space above the mezzanine for storage and there is an additional galleried store above the wardrobe of the front bedroom - a quirky feature both visible and accessible from the landing. - Full of character, the larger of the two bedrooms has exposed beams, a vaulted ceiling and a lovely view over fields and the Lakeland landscape toward Bigland Heights.

The second double bedroom is at the front with pleasant outlook towards trees and a built-in double wardrobe. The shower room has natural light from a Velux rooflight, a WC and hand basin. The shower enclosure is a good size with both a fixed head and hand held spray plus a radiator. - The lower ground floor is particularly of interest to buyers with lots of outdoor gear, a classic car, motorbikes or woodworking hobbies. There is ample space for a number of vehicles whilst still retaining areas for storage. The garage houses the solar panel controls and there are two windows and fully tracked doors at the front. The utility room has a Belfast sink, plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. The hot water cylinder/thermal store can use any excess solar gain and there is an oil fired Worcester boiler. - The plot extends to approximately a third of an acre – there is plenty of off road parking within the gravelled yard at the front and access at the side leads into the rear garden.
