The Barn Mungrisdale, Penrith

Brief Résumé Traditional Lakeland stone barn conversion providing spacious 4 bedroomed accommodation of great character. Idyllic rural location with beautiful outlooks. Double garage plus parking and almost an acre of level gardens.

Description This fine detached property occupies an outstanding location within the hamlet of Mungrisdale, a quiet peaceful valley at the foot of Bowscale and Souther Fells to the east side of Blencathra. Within the Lake District National Park, Mungrisdale sits between the high fells which rise to the west, with a broad open valley and gentler rolling countryside to the east. Conveniently positioned, approximately 5-10 minutes’ drive to the junction with the A66 which links Penrith and the M6 motorway (10 miles) to the east with Keswick (7 miles), principal tourist centre of the north Lakes, to the west.

The Barn, is a most individual property full of traditional rustic character displaying high vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers, and traditional stone construction. The property offers deceptively spacious accommodation which includes four double bedrooms, two bathrooms, large central living area with high vaulted ceiling, feature stone fireplace and chimney breast with Mezzanine floor behind, dining room, farmhouse-style kitchen, utility room and integral double garage. The property benefits from double glazing and oil-fired central heating, and outside is a spacious gravelled parking area with extensive level lawned gardens extending to almost an acre to the rear. Whilst adjacent to a narrow quiet country lane which runs through the hamlet of Mungrisdale and continues north to Hesket Newmarket, the property is arranged so that most of the accommodation overlooks the gardens to the rear benefiting from this truly delightful aspect. The property is otherwise surrounded by open countryside offering direct access to superb walks within the area.

Directions From Keswick take the A66 in an easterly direction towards Penrith. After approximately 7 miles take the left-hand turning signposted to Mungrisdale. Past the village hall on your right, follow the sharp left and then right-hand bends past a left-hand turning to The Mill Inn and after the red telephone box on your left, the road will straighten and The Barn is the second building on the right-hand side with a gravelled turn-in and parking area at the far end of the property.
