OVERVIEW
Converted by the current owners for their own occupation, Tenement Barn is a characterful three bedroom property nestled within a small Lakeland hamlet. Thought and care has been taken to retain the integrity of the original building with exposed beams and thick walls being evident throughout. The impressive kitchen is at the rear of the property with outlook across the garden - the vaulted ceiling gives a feeling of air and light and there is a dining area with windows to two sides. The living room has a cosy multifuel stove and views plus there is a utility/wc, a shower room and double bedroom all on the ground floor. Once on the first floor, there is another double bedroom, a single, a bathroom and good sized store which has potential as a playroom or study. The garden and orchard wrap around three sides of the barn and are wonderful spaces for children (or chickens) to explore. There is ample parking and turning. Located in the picturesque Lyth Valley, walks on Whitbarrow Scar are just minutes from the doorstep and the wider Lake District easily accessible. Nearby Levens has a village shop and there are various award winning pubs and eateries within a short drive. The nearby primary school at Crosthwaite is rated Outstanding by OFSTED. No onward chain. Subject to a Local Occupancy Clause.
