Sale of an immaculately presented and substantial three bedroom, three bathroom semi detached Lakeland barn conversion. Offering well planned accommodation where the upstairs lounge and kitchen take full advantage of the wonderful views whilst the bedrooms are on the ground floor. The property was originally developed in the late 1980’s from a larger Lakeland barn and now benefits from an extensive refurbishment and some reconfiguration, all done in recent years by the current owner. The property is very tastefully furnished and decorated throughout, ultimately creating a wonderful combination of comfort and function. It is in a beautiful peaceful semi rural location with a gently elevated position which commands superbpanoramic fell and country views predominantly from the upper floor including a distant view of Lake Windermere. There is also an ideal low maintenance area outside with terrace, plenty of parking and highly useful storage rooms. Although currently a highly successful and well established 4* holiday letting property, it would also suit a variety of buyers whether as a lovely main residence or second home. It currently generates a gross income of £65,000 p.a. and is being sold with all forward bookings and the majority of contents except some personal items.
