Brotherswater on your left the turning for Hartsop can be found on

your right after less than a quarter of a mile,. The properties can then

be found on the left hand side signed Grove Barn, Willow Barn and

Hart Barn. Turn up this short lane and this attracti ve barn conversion is

found straight ahead of you.

Description It is difficul t to do justice to this wonderful home in just a

few lines - where does one start? The views are simply amazing and

include Brotherswater as well as Hartsop Dodd, Dove Crag and Hartsop

Above How, to name just a few. The accommodation is superbly

presented, with handcrafted oak joinery and delightful handmade

coloured glass window insets amongst i ts numerous delightful

attributes . In many ways i t is those finishing touches which make this

high quali ty barn conversion so special. The location is magni ficent,

sitting quietly in a genuine and very pretty Lakeland hamlet which

allows you to s tep from the door and immediately be hiking the

dramatic fells, strolling down to the local pub or ambling along the

lake shore. Beauti ful Ullswater is just down the road, Ambleside just

over the pass, but tranquillity is right here on your doorstep.

enjoying the upper two s tories (Grove Barn) as a unique private

residence themselves whilst very successfully letting the self-contained

ground floor cottage s tyle apartment below (Willow Cottage) as a "4

Star Gold" holiday let. Many will choose to follow their example and

enjoy an idyllic lifestyle with a ready-made income. Some may wish to

consider letting both portions of this attractive barn conversion, with

the built-in adaptability which allows you to combine the two in one

let in order to capitalise on the under-supplied and much in demand

multi-generational holiday market. Others may decide to keep one

part solely for their own weekend enjoyment, a vi rtually "free" luxury

bolt-hole being effectively funded by letting the other portion - the

options are seemingly endless.

Grove Barn is spread over the upper two s tories with the spacious

entry level being semi -open plan, providing a bright and sunny space

with clearly defined ki tchen and delightful relaxation and dining areas.

The upper floor offers two double bedrooms (one currently emplo yed

as a workspace), a luxury bathroom and a utility room. Willow Cottage

is self-contained all on one level below, and is a very popular and

successful holiday let with plenty of well es tablished return business.

Stylish and welcoming, the accommodation here includes a lovely

open plan living room and kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom.

There is off-road car parking provision and the beautiful gardens are a

real delight, attracting a wide variety of bi rd-life and making the

perfect spot in which to sit and admire those panoramic views.

Lake Dis trict National Park - come and explore it for yourself.
