About this property
This is a fantastic location for those after sophisticated living and outdoor adventures. Just 1.5 miles away, the quintessential English village of Greystoke is home to a heated open-air swimming pool and a friendly pub. Walkers can take on the heights of Eycott Hill, 2.5 miles away, or Berrier Hill, 5 miles away, while cyclists can join the popular Coast to Coast route, which passes through the edge of the village, or there are off-road tracks in Greystoke Forest. Penrith is just 6.5 miles away and provides a good selection of independent shops and eateries, while Keswick, 14.5 miles away, offers a range of outdoor activities including canyoning, hydrospeeding and paddle-boarding.
Sympathetically converted, this former barn retains much of its original charm through exposed beams and double-height ceilings, creating a feeling of space and light throughout. At one end of the large, open-plan living space is a country-style kitchen fitted with a fan oven, halogen hobs, fridge, freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. There’s also a farmhouse table at this end with seating for four. The lounge occupies the other side of the room and features a sofa, rocking chair and TV. A corridor leads to the two bedrooms: the master with a king-size bed and antique furniture, and a bunk bedroom with beds in an L shaped configuration. The bedrooms share a contemporary shower room with a large drencher head, perfect for massaging tired muscles after long walks.
The main living space opens onto a delightful, enclosed sun trap garden for enjoying a morning cup of coffee. Beyond this lie extensive shared grounds complete with a walled orchard, large lawns, play area, summer house, woodland and resident pigs. There is off-road parking for several cars.
