A rare countryside opportunity: a beautifully renovated 5-bedroom barn conversion set in approximately 2.5 acres, offering flexible family living and small‑holding or equestrian potential. The house has been modernised in recent years with new windows, bathrooms, underfloor heating and solar panels, and delivers generous room proportions, three ensuite bedrooms and a ground-floor bedroom for accessible living.
The attached stone barn (8.13m x 4.98m) is currently used as a workshop/store and is connected to the house, presenting genuine scope for further development subject to planning consent (STP). Large lawns, a corner deck and ample off-street parking complement the land, while a public bridleway and a farmer’s right of way cross the holding — useful for equestrian or agricultural access but important to note for privacy and boundary use.
Practical features include oil central heating with a boiler and underfloor heating, septic tank drainage, mains water and electricity, solar panels and Starlink internet (advertised 250MB). Broadband via local providers is very slow. The property sits in a quiet hamlet location with low crime, good road links to the M6 and Penrith and easy access to the Lake District National Park, making it well suited to families, smallholders or buyers seeking a peaceful rural lifestyle.
Buyers should be aware of a few material points: the property is freehold with Council Tax band E (above average running costs) and uses oil for heating (not a community supply). Any conversion or extension of the barn will require planning permission. Overall, this is a ready-to-move-in country home with substantial external space and clear potential for buyers who value rural privacy and flexible land use.
