Brough Sowerby, Kirkby Stephen, CA17

A truly beautiful barn conversion occupying an elevated position with panoramic views, ample parking, integral garage and a large 160m2 two storey workshop. Gnarly Oak Barn was converted by a local joiner with the use of new and reclaimed oak throughout the property, the incredible craftsmanship is showcased in the garden room that connects the main living space with the outdoors. The property offers generously proportioned accommodation throughout and briefly comprises entrance hall, garden room with

bi-folding doors to the lounge, kitchen with pantry and utility room with access to the integral garage that houses a low cost Bio-mass heating system. Upstairs there is a beautiful galleried landing, three double bedrooms and two bathrooms. Outside, the uninterrupted views to Wild Boar Fell and Nine Standards are breathtaking, the south facing garden has pretty patio seating areas, lawned and vegetable gardens and access to the workshop.

This is an amazing space with three phase electricity over two floors that offers great potential for a home-based trade or business. Currently used as a workshop, hobbies room and store room but with potential to be converted into an annex (subject to planning consents).
