This exciting combination of property comprises a two bedroomed stone house with an adjoining stylish three bedroomed barn conversion, set amidst the beautiful rolling countryside of North Stainmore.
The barn has been operating as a holiday letting business (www.thegreenbarn.org.uk), but would make a wonderful family home, with the former farmhouse becoming an ideal small holiday let.
Set within over three acres of gardens and grounds, which have been planted extensively with trees, the properties enjoy spectacular rural views, with the Lake District in the distance.
There is also a small detached stable/barn, as well as attached garage, workshop and storage areas.
Sanctuary Barn has been impressively converted, with a very spacious galleried dining kitchen at its heart and a magnificent upstairs sitting room.
The house needs cosmetic refurbishment works to be completed and also offers the potential to extend into the neighbouring garage, store and workshop. This gives the buyer a number of options to create their own configuration and use of living spaces, as well as finishing touches to their own taste.
The present owners have developed environmentally friendly heating and power sources, with the installation of a 2.5kw wind turbine,generating about 3,000 units each year which is sold into the national grid, and a 24kw automatic wood pellet boiler which caters for central heating and hot water for Sanctuary Barn.
