An outstanding barn conversion with Estuary views!
As Barn Conversions go, this is probably one of the best you will ever see! The standard of finish is absolutely supreme, with only the very best of materials used throughout its conversion..........resulting in a simply magnificent property.
This property also boasts a most splendid location in Kirkby-in-Furness, affording the most spectacular views across the Duddon Estuary towards Black Combe and the Fells. This is a western outlook, so you may well expect some super sunsets over the Irish Sea!
The barn is, of course, stone-built and detached, and is in impeccable condition throughout. It is an 'upside-down' set up, with the lounge, kitchen and dining room on the upper floor (in order to maximize those amazing views), and the bedrooms and bathroom on the ground floor. There is a detached garage which is currently used as a workshop, and a lovely mature garden.
The main front door enters directly into the ' Sun Room' which is also used as a Dining Room (11'11 x 13'3) and this of course has those amazing views. There is a lovely Cornish Slate floor and the ceiling has inset spotlights.
The hallway leads through to the Kitchen (18'6 x 14'11). This has been fitted to a very high standard, with good quality units incorporating a cooker, hob ( ceramic touch button operated ) , hood, microwave, dishwasher and fridge. ( The Cooker, Microwave and Dishwasher are BOSCH ) There is a lovely breakfast bar area where one can relax with a cup of coffee, whilst watching the regular visitors to the bird table such as the Jay and the Woodpecker. This room has a wonderful cathedral roof with a 2 Velux roof lights, ensuring plenty of natural daylight and sunshine. There is a massive spiral staircase leading to the lower floor, and the attractive lower Hallway with very useful built in storage cupboards.
In this area there is also a cloakroom, fitted with a hand basin and W.C, with exposed timbers and a lovely hard-wood floor.
There is a Study (13'2 x 5'8) which again, has a lovely hard-wood floor and exposed timbers.
The Lounge is certainly no disappointment! (21'1 x 12'7 max ). It is extremely lovely, with a cathedral roof, exposed beams, and fantastic views. There is a hard-wood floor, deep window-sills and a cosy wood-burning stove.......an extremely comfortable and special room indeed.
On the lower floor, which is accessed via the wonderful, large 'spiral staircase', there are 3 full double Bedrooms, the Bathroom and the Utility Room.
The Bathroom ( 7'8 x 8'10 ) has been fitted with a white 3 piece suite, including a corner bath, and a separate shower cubicle. The walls are fully tiled, as is the floor. This is a beautiful bathroom.
Bedroom 1 (12'9 x 11'11 ) is a good double with lovely views.
The Utility Room ( 8'5 x 4'7 ) which has plumbing etc.............a very useful space.
Bedroom 2 (12'5 x 11'10 max) is another good double with those wonderful views. From this room there is an exterior door leading to one of the parking areas.
There is also a boiler room ( 5'7 x 6'7 ) which encloses the Worcester oil fired combi boiler, and also provides additional, useful storage.
Bedroom 3 (10'8 x 8'2 ) is another double.
Outside there is a Detached Garage (14'2 x 16'2 ) which has been fitted with a full range of units, and is currently used as a workshop. There are wonderful views to enjoy whilst working, and the windows are double glazed. It also has a cathedral roof, power and light, is fully plastered and well insulated.
