Romantic getaway, little two bed, two bath barn conversion with amazing views & parking
Escape to Little Barn, a tiny yet magnificent 17th-century barn conversion offering grand views and a truly unique hideaway for couples or close friends. While compact, this historic stone-built home is packed with character, providing a cosy and intimate atmosphere perfect for your Lake District adventure.
Once used for livestock and feed stores, the barn has been thoughtfully transformed. The main living space features a bespoke, craftsman-made bar-height dining table, a comfortable living area with a Smart TV, DVD player, Smart Speaker, a few games and a warming wood burner for those chilly evenings. The fully equipped kitchen includes an electric oven, fridgefreezer, microwave, and washing machine. Step out onto the balcony from the living area—the perfect spot for a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine while soaking in the breathtaking fell and valley views.
The property sleeps four across two charming bedrooms: • Upstairs bedroom: features an oak double bed. • Downstairs bedroom: offers a king-sized bed and an en-suite bathroom. Please note that bedroom spaces are cosy, in keeping with the barn`s character. The upstairs bathroom has a slim, low shower cubicle, while the downstairs en-suite features a shower over a small bath.
Outside you`ll find a BBQ in the top garden where you can enjoy the some alfresco dining or choose the meadow garden for a different view. Both of the gardens have dog-secured fencing so you can enjoy dining with your furry friends.
Parking is available for two vehicles alongside the property.
Perched in a coveted rural location, Little Barn offers panoramic views and a sense of peaceful seclusion, yet you are only a 12-minute walk from the vibrant heart of Ambleside. There, you can explore a wonderful selection of pubs, restaurants, and shops. The property is also situated next to a popular bridleway, with lovely walks starting right from your front door.
Embrace the stunning natural surroundings, with easy access to the nearby lake for waterfront strolls. From the tranquility of your balcony, you may even spot the RAF jets flying through the valley for a truly memorable sight.
The property is ideally located for exploring on foot, with the town of Ambleside just a short walk away. For those traveling by car, private parking for two vehicles is provided. Please be aware that the property is accessed via a very steep private road, which is also a public footpath.
