A barn conversion, retaining original features and built of lakeland stone with lakeland slate roof.
Always lived in the Lake District and been involved with farming and tourism.
Situated in central lake district close to Helvellyn range of mountains, and nearby Thirlmere Lake, numerous walks from the property and an ideal location for touring. Bus stop at the end of lane. Keswick closeby with eating places.
