A substantial five-bedroom barn conversion set in the quiet hamlet of Millness, Crooklands, offering flexible family accommodation across two floors and far-reaching rural views. The home blends period stone character with contemporary fittings: a modern fitted kitchen with granite worktops and an island, a roomy sitting room with multi-fuel stove, and triple glazing throughout for improved thermal performance. The ground-floor principal bedroom with ensuite and three upstairs bedrooms make this a practical family layout, while attic areas and variable ceiling heights add character.
Externally the plot is generous, with landscaped rear gardens, a pergola, koi pond and vegetable plot. There is off-street parking for several vehicles and a detached double garage with a substantial mezzanine — useful storage or potential for conversion/works subject to consents. Broadband is fast via B4RN and the property sits within easy drive of Kendal, Milnthorpe and national parks, making it attractive for those seeking rural lifestyle with reasonable connectivity.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the property uses oil-fired central heating, relies on a shared septic drainage system with two neighbouring properties, and the stone walls are likely uninsulated (as built). The property was constructed before 1900 and, while well-presented, may require ongoing maintenance typical of older buildings. There is a medium flood risk for the area and council tax is Band E (above average). These points are important for budgeting and insurance considerations.
This barn will suit families or buyers seeking roomy rural accommodation with character and scope to adapt outbuildings. It presents immediate move-in comfort plus clear potential for modest improvement or reconfiguration, but buyers should factor in heating costs, drainage arrangements and any works needed to upgrade historic fabric.
