Offering unrivalled prime location with a blend of tranquility and convenience, positioned in a rare countryside setting the homes promise effortless family or holiday home living, almost equidistant from the incredible Yorkshire Dales and Lake District National Park.

Careful consideration has gone into the plans, by Bywater and Tweedale Architects, including the removal of the existing barn structure, in order to create a row of three attached four-bedroom homes in the footprint. Ensuring the full respect of the surrounding countryside there would be ample parking for each home as well as solar panels, air source heat pumps, air-conditioning, electric car charge station, Cat6 cabling throughout as well as mindful planting of the external space.

Be greeted by the thoughtfully curated palette of natural stone walls adorned with blue-grey slate roofing tiles, powder coated grey-blue aluminium widows and framed light oak hardwood doors completing the look of the homes that seem to be nestled serenely into the backdrop.

The natural stone chipping to the side creates parking, with ample space for owners and visitors finished with a new drystone walled boundary that all blends pleasingly with the existing hamlet of converted barns.

Take a Tour

With planning in place to create three spacious four-bedroom homes, futureproofed for effortless family living for years to come, it's easy to see the full potential of this one-of-a-kind plot.
Meticulously designed each home has everyone in mind, encompassing spacious open-plan living and large bedrooms as well as versatile rooms that give owners options.

Enter the home into a handy porch where you can place shoes and coats before making your way into the hall where light cascades down the staircase from the skylights above. Discover handy storage and a downstairs WC.

From the hallway a versatile study making things uncomplicated for working life, or equally a den for kids and the multitude of toys and games. Homes one and three will benefit from skylights letting in loads of natural light into the study and snug.

Open the patio doors of the snug and let the inside and outside flow as one. In colder nights pop a movie on and cosy down onto the sofas with the brood, in front of the fire.

Homes two and three have incredible feature fireplaces that will create focal points between the snug and lounge area - a real wow-factor!

The show stopper of the homes is the open-plan living-dining-kitchen where the room flows seamlessly from family life into the ideal entertaining space. Modern fixtures and fittings alongside a breakfast bar or island will complement the light and airy feel of the home and allow for plenty of storage.

Hosts can mingle with guests, whilst cooking up a feast and daily family life will be a breeze with everyone able to be together in one space, in the true heart of the home.

Hide away the washer and dryer in the utility room with separate sink and additional worksurface providing more space for prepping.
Upstairs you will receive the most of breathtaking views over uninterrupted fields towards Kirkby Lonsdale where you will be able to watch as the seasons unfold before your eyes.

Light floods into the central hallway that leads into the four spacious double bedrooms, each with ample space for storage and a calm space to rest and relax, as well as a family bathroom housing separate shower and bathtub.

Two of the bedrooms feature large en-suite walk-in shower rooms making a sanctuary to retreat to. Modern aluminum windows frame the majestic views from the bedrooms and create the perfect places to rest weary heads.

In harmony with the surroundings

Private and peaceful, each home will have their own oasis of calm. Trees will allow dappled shade for secluded places to sit and read, whilst stone paving patio areas will be the perfect setting to relax, entertain and enjoy BBQS in the warmer months.

A haven for wildlife with bird boxes, and planting to front, rear and sides, enveloped with a blanket of fields, the countryside setting is easy to escape to and call home.

Take the path through the gate in the small copse, beside the homes, and venture through the fields and down to Mill Stream where morning dog walks will be spent in tranquility listening to the birds.

Full respect of the landscape has been taken into account with the design of the garden and outside space. Retaining trees where possible, and carefully positioning new foliage and shrubs, so as to not take away from the incredible views on offer, but also in creating new habitats for the local ecosystem.

Out and about

The beauty of this home is the ability to escape to it but have everything you need just a moment away. The market town of Kirkby Lonsdale is a five minutes' drive away where you will find a thriving community, easy access to shops, schools, supermarkets and bars.

Take a stroll through the village, passing shops and boutiques to the cobbled path leading to the historic St Mary's Church. Marvel at the array of architectural styles and stonework that make up this incredibly majestic building.

Weekends can be spent pottering down by the River Lune before making your way back into the village via the steep 'Radical Steps'. Rest your legs and have a much-needed libation at the Kirkby Lonsdale Brewery, where beer and coffee are brewed fresh.
The beauty of the homes mean that adventures are plentiful with the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District National Park, both practically on your doorstep. Jump in the car and head west to the Lake District National Park. Don your walking boots and bag a few Wainwright's or take to the waters of Windermere where you can hire a rowing boat or perhaps simply sit back and set sail on one of the larger cruisers.

A seven-minute drive will take you to Junction 36, of the M6, easy for commuting up and down the country as well as providing opportunities to explore and discover new places to visit.
