Offering miles of views towards the Hawkshead fells and the surrounding countryside, this outstanding barn conversion is an ideal base for family or friends to experience this inspiring part of the world. There are six pubs within 1.5 miles of the barn, so sampling some of the award-winning local ales is a must. Tarn Hows is also very close by and makes for a lovely walk of just under 2 miles to see its beautiful waters, surrounded by woodland. The village of Hawkshead (1.5 miles) is where you will find local shops and restaurants as well as a handy supermarket. A day trip to Coniston (3.5 miles) won't disappoint. Coniston holds some of the Lake District’s most varied landscapes, and the picturesque Coniston Water was the setting for the Swallows and Amazons book and film. Alternatively, visit Waterhead at the northern end of Lake Windermere and take a boat trip to see England's longest lake. The whole area is an outdoor enthusiast's dream, with walking paths, cycling trails, water sports, climbing and horse riding all easily accessible.
This property is packed with charming features including exposed beams. Entry to the barn is through oak doors into a large hall with slate floor and underfloor heating. There is a large utility room with a washer, dryer, wine cooler and plenty of storage space. The single bedroom is also on the ground floor, with pretty bedding and oak panelling. A bespoke oak staircase leads to the first-floor bedrooms – a super-king-size with en-suite bathroom and a king-size with en-suite shower room. Both bedrooms are beautifully presented and spacious, with metal bedsteads and fantastic views. You’ll also find a separate shower room on this floor. The entire second floor is given over to an open-plan living space with a large, tastefully appointed kitchen featuring a breakfast bar, a dining table and a comfortable lounge area. This space includes comfy seating, a Smart TV and gas fire. Polished wooden floors and high ceilings with skylights give a feeling of space. The original beams span this room, adding even more traditional charm.
For some outside relaxation, head across the quiet lane to the enclosed garden with mature shrubs, bench seating and stunning views towards Hawkshead.
