Set in the quiet hamlet of Barras, Mousegill is a detached stone barn conversion sitting within about seven acres of paddocks, fenced lawns and a private woodland with a log cabin. The house combines traditional character—stone walls and many windows—with a newly renovated interior and generous room sizes across approximately 1,701 sq ft. Stable blocks, outbuildings and substantial parking make this well-suited to small-holding or equestrian use.
The ground floor offers two reception rooms, a kitchen diner and utility space, while upstairs are three double bedrooms, an en-suite and a family bathroom. Large windows and dual aspects capture panoramic rural views; internal insulation has been installed in the original stone walls and double glazing updated after 2002. Main heating is a boiler running on LPG (not a communal supply).
Externally the property delivers real scope: divided paddocks to the north and east, extensive fenced lawns to the immediate garden, a woodland planted around 2000 and an independent log cabin. Outbuildings include a three-stable block, workshop, tool shed and machinery shed — plus ample hardstanding for multiple vehicles.
Practical points to note: the house occupies an isolated, remoter location in an agricultural community, roughly seven miles from Kirkby Stephen for shops, schools and a train station. Council tax is above average and the main fuel is LPG, so running costs should be considered. Guide price £725,000–£750,000.
