Summary - Littlethwaite, North Stainmore, KIRKBY STEPHEN CA17 4EX
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Spacious rural home with outbuildings and strong smallholding potential.
Approximately 4 acres of land with three spring-fed ponds
Littlethwaite Barn is a rare detached barn conversion set within approximately 4 acres of private land on the edge of the North Pennines AONB. The property offers panoramic Pennine and Howgill Fell views from the first-floor living room and conservatory, spring-fed ponds, a privately owned section of ancient woodland and established outbuildings including a triple garage, workshop and several summer houses. Planning permission for a straightforward barn conversion (Ref: 22/0434) boosts usable accommodation and adds clear scope for value enhancement.
This upside-down layout places principal living spaces on the first floor to maximise views while ground-floor rooms include a large farmhouse kitchen with walk-in larder, flexible office/study and a mezzanine studio ideal for creative use or further conversion. The site has practical smallholding credentials: three fields, its own CPH number, two beehives, Hebridean sheep (may be included) and previously granted lambing shed permission (now lapsed). Architect’s drawings for the barn conversion are available to support development plans.
Practical considerations are stated plainly: the house was converted in 1976 and retains rustic fixtures and exposed beams rather than modern finishings, it has a single bathroom, and the upside-down arrangement will not suit everyone. The property will be sold at public auction (guide price £365,000+) and carries an administration fee on exchange; access can confuse SATNAV users in this known dead‑zone. Overall, this is a lifestyle property for buyers seeking substantial land, outbuildings and development potential rather than a turnkey suburban family home.
