Ravenstonedale, Kirkby Stephen, CA17

Harterfell View is a superb, detached barn conversion, peacefully tucked away in the rural hamlet of Artlegarth, located just one mile from Ravenstonedale. Alfred Wainwright described Ravenstonedale as a village many times blessed and the parish as one of Westmorland’s fairest, 'always a joy to visit and doubtless a good place to live'. These sentiments sum up this lovely rural settlement which is surrounded by stunning Yorkshire Dales scenery, below the foothills of the Howgill Fells - and the birthplace of the rivers Lune and Rawthey. The village itself has an inn, hotel, highly reputable private nursery school and venerable old Parish Church of St. Oswald and there are many excellent walks in the neighbourhood. The nearest town of Kirkby Stephen offers a good range of everyday amenities including supermarket, post office, hotels, public houses, sports facilities, and primary and secondary schools. The delights of the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District National Park are also all within easy reach.

Originally an old stone barn, the current owners completed the conversion in the early 2000's. Careful consideration was made to each element of the build and work was completed to exacting standards, sympathetically restoring - and rebuilding where necessary, to provide stylish, well designed living space whilst successfully maintaining the characteristics of a traditional stone barn.

Accommodation to the ground floor briefly comprises traditional style dining kitchen, utility cupboard, large living room with a full wall of windows to appreciate the breathtaking views, ground floor bedroom and a three piece family bathroom. To the first floor, there are two further double bedrooms - one with ensuite shower room and both enjoying the beautiful open views.

Externally, the property benefits from parking to the side for multiple cars, detached double garage and a large garden to the front, with patio area and greenhouse, all enclosed within a traditional dry stone wall boundary.
