Kirkland House is an 18th-century barn conversion that blends original character with recent modernisation. Exposed beams, stone fireplaces and stained glass sit alongside an updated kitchen, double glazing and contemporary bathrooms, creating a comfortable family home with strong period charm.
Set in the village of Orton between the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Park, the house offers a village lifestyle with nearby amenities, a highly regarded primary school, and countryside walks from the doorstep. A gated electric driveway provides off-street parking for three cars and practical everyday living is supported by fibre broadband (70+ Mbps).
The house includes a large, light-filled attic floor that presents genuine potential as a studio or private guest suite; the existing second-floor bathroom and working log burner add to its flexibility. Practical points to note: heating is by oil-fired boiler with the tank in the garage, the stone walls are assumed uninsulated, and the plot is modest in size — factors to consider for running costs and future energy upgrades.
Overall, this is a character-rich, thoughtfully updated family property with adaptable space and a sought-after village setting. Buyers seeking a home with historic charm and further scope to personalise will find strong appeal here.
