Summary - THE BARN MUNGRISDALE PENRITH CA11 0XR
4 bed 3 bath Barn Conversion
Large four-bedroom barn conversion with fell views and almost an acre of gardens.
Nearly one acre of level, mature gardens and large patio
Set within the Lake District National Park, this substantial four-bedroom detached barn conversion occupies almost an acre of level gardens and enjoys wide fell views. The stone-built property retains strong character: high vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers, a feature stone fireplace and a mezzanine currently used as an office. Accommodation includes a magnificent central lounge, recently updated kitchen, utility, integral double garage and three bathrooms. Solar panels generated circa £900 in 2024.
The house suits buyers seeking rural privacy and outdoor access — walkers can step onto Blencathra routes from the doorstep and the local pub is within walking distance. Practical strengths include off-street parking, an integral garage, double glazing, oil-fired central heating and superfast 100GB broadband. The level, well-established gardens offer fruit trees, vegetable plots, greenhouses and a large patio with sheltered BBQ area.
Be clear about the material considerations: the property sits in a high flood-risk zone and drains to a private septic tank. Heating relies on an oil boiler (not a communal supply) and the original stone walls are assumed uninsulated. There is no mobile signal on site and council tax is described as expensive. Prospective buyers should verify flood insurance availability and inspect the septic, roof, insulation and services before committing.
For families or buyers needing generous, characterful space in a remote location, this barn conversion offers a rare combination of rural lifestyle, garden space and direct fell access. It will particularly appeal to active households or buyers seeking a holiday-base with income potential from the solar array, but it requires acceptance of remoteness, fuel and drainage arrangements.
