OVERVIEW
Nestled on the fringes of the pretty village of Cark in Cartmel, Longbyre is much more than meets the eye. Offered on the open market for the first time, this deceptive barn conversion has four bedrooms, two bathrooms and huge potential within the outbuildings and adjoining barn. The accommodation is across one level and beautifully presented and maintained both inside and out. Tasteful decor is complemented by gas central heating and double glazing throughout. Storage is in abundance with numerous cupboards and two loft spaces (with potential, subject to planning, for additional accommodation).
The attractive enclosed garden has space for entertaining and play and has been wonderfully planned and tended. Across the drive is a large double height barn, currently used as a car port, plus a utility, workshop and first floor space - for buyers working from home, this offers fantastic potential.
The historic village of Cartmel, famous for its racecourse and of course Sticky Toffee Pudding is under two miles away. Holker Hall and Gardens are approximately 1 mile and the village amenities of a shop, pubs and a post office are within easy walking distance.

There is a further patio with views across countryside adjacent to the property.
Across the driveway is a substantial barn and outbuilding complex. The open fronted barn is currently used as a car port and there is a stall providing storage at the side. Lighting.
