Overview

Nestled in the heart of the Lake District, this attractive holiday home is a renovated 'cowshed' of the farmhouse and it offers an escape from the pressures of modern life, and a chance to immerse yourself in nature. This refurbished modern barn conversion, which sleeps up to four people, is cradled in amongst the fells of Patterdale, offering fantastic views of the iconic UNESCO World Heritage Site landscape. The property provides reverse accommodation and overlooks a working farml, which was built around 1670. The property is a Grade II-listed 17th century farmhouse situated on a working Lakeland hill farm in the scenic valley of Deepdale, close to Patterdale between Ullswater and Brotherswater in one of the most beautiful parts of the Lake District National Park. Indian Runner Ducks run free and a peacock resides on the farm. The property's rural location means you are ideally situated for exploring the mountainous terrain of the Lake District. With walks to Helvellyn and St Sunday Crag available from the doorstep within a mile radius, the stoned cottage is perfect for keen and ambitious hikers. The converted barn has also hosted HRH, the Prince of Wales. Prince Charles attended a meeting on the sustainability of hill farming in 2009, which took place in the property itself. Whether you visit in the heat of summer or shelter from the frosty winds of winter, the modern barn conversion is a perfect retreat for your family, allowing you a glimpse of the traditional and peaceful way of life many of us long for. The woodpile stacked up Against the exterior of the cottage - historically used as a cowshed - serves as a welcome greeting, promising a generous supply for the wood-burning stove. The front door opens to the downstairs corridor of the reversed accommodation, with pegs and space under the oak stairwell being the perfect place to store muddy outdoor gear. Turning left through the oak door will lead to a king-size bedroom, complete with plenty of storage in the form of a wardrobe, chest of drawers and bedside cabinets. Daylight streams through the full-length windowed door resulting in a light and airy feel, overlooking the cobbled parking space and moss-covered dry-stone wall that encloses the surrounding farm. A magnificent oak beam stretches the ceiling of the room, completing the rustic and traditional feel. The next bedroom sleeps two in twin beds, where there is also a wardrobe, chest of drawers and a full-length mirror. An oak ledge traces the outer wall of the room. Between the two bedrooms lies the downstairs bathroom - allowing easy access throughout the night. The bathroom consists of a shower over the bath, a heated towel rail and WC, all placed upon warm oak floorboards. A wooden staircase leads directly to another bathroom, which consists of a walk-in shower and WC. After ascending the staircase, you are met with the gorgeous open-plan living quarters bathed in natural light from the various skylights, where a vaulted ceiling arches over the split space. The kitchen, decorated with coloured tiles, holds a split oven with an electric hob; a tall fridge/freezer; a dishwasher; a microwave; a washing machine; a toaster and kettle. The window directly over the sink offers views of High Street and Place Fell - the perfect accompaniment for preparing the meals. An oak island unit offers more space for food preparation, as well as providing storage space. The grand oak dining table, which seats six people, acts both as an elegant dining space and the perfect space to host a family board games night. The living room provides comfort with two brown leather sofas (a two-seater and a three-seater) surrounding the woodburning stove. A coffee table offers the perfect relaxation space in front of the TV, which also has a video and DVD player. The living room boasts original exposed stonework features, contributing to the rustic and country feel of the cottage. An antique bookshelf displays an impressive collection of old books. French doors open onto the foothills of St Sunday Crag and there is also a private fenced patio, accessed by the barn doors, with outside seating and a table. The upstairs of the property is undoubtedly beautiful, with views from all sides overlooking meadows, fells and the dry-stone walls of the farm.
