About this property
A characterful barn conversion on a working hill farm near Bassenthwaite, with a cosy wood burner, shared garden space and a peaceful rural setting for Lake District breaks.. No smoking.. Set on a working hill farm around 2 miles south east of Bassenthwaite, this traditional cottage is a conversion of a 17th century barn with a wonderfully peaceful feel. The setting is ideal for anyone who wants to experience the quieter rhythms of rural life, with open countryside all around and the northern Lake District close enough for easy day trips. It is a lovely place to escape the pace of city living, recharge, and return to simple pleasures like fresh air, wide skies and evening sunsets over the fells.
From the farmyard, you enter through a welcoming porch, complete with potted plants and a bench that is just right for a morning cuppa. Inside, the open plan living and kitchen space blends modern convenience with character, including exposed beams and a wood burner that makes chilly evenings especially cosy. Comfortable seating faces the TV and DVD player, while the kitchen is well-equipped for preparing meals, from quick breakfasts to hearty suppers. A separate dining room gives you space to sit together, plan your next walk, or enjoy board games after a day out.
The beams continue into the sleeping areas, with a double bedroom and a family bedroom upstairs with a wash basin. The bathroom includes a shower over the bath. Although much of the accommodation is on the ground floor, there are steps to reach the bedrooms, so it is worth bearing in mind if you have limited mobility. Outside, you can also enjoy shared use of a garden across the farmyard, making it a peaceful base for a true Lakeland break.
