Description Known as Kings Barns due to the association with Living Room Patterdale Hall, owned for centuries by the Mounsey family who were

Employing local craftsmen, skilled in both traditional building methods and modern day techniques and efficiencies, Cumbrian Heritage Homes Limited have created this wonderful home in arguably one of the best locations in the English . The Ullswater Valley is surely one of the most picturesque in England and Kings Barns sit quietly just half a mile from the lake shore, tucked away from the hustle and bustle and yet just a short stroll from lovely local Lakeland Inns and shops at both Patterdale and Glenridding.
