Barn Howe enjoys an elevated, south-facing position within the peaceful hamlet of Lyth, where far-reaching views stretch across the gently undulating valley towards Silverdale, Arnside and beyond. From first light to dusk, the outlook is ever-changing; a patchwork of fields, grazing livestock and distant fells creating a timeless Lakeland scene that connects you effortlessly to the rhythms of the countryside.
Set within generous grounds of approximately three acres, the property offers space in abundance. One of the standout features is the wide bi-folding doors, which fully open from the living areas to the garden, seamlessly connecting the house to its setting and making the most of the open views.
The gardens have been thoughtfully arranged to make the most of the setting, with a south-facing terrace for soaking up the views, a hot tub for moments of relaxation, and open lawned areas ideal for families, whether that’s a kickabout on the grass or simply room to roam and unwind. Stepping inside, the house continues to impress with a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
At its heart lies the open-plan kitchen and dining space, where large windows frame the surrounding landscape and an Aga adds a traditional touch, perfect for slow, sociable cooking. A separate utility, pantry and cloakroom provide practical convenience, particularly after days spent exploring the fells.
Two inviting sitting rooms offer flexibility for guests to relax and unwind; one centred around a woodburning stove for cosy evenings, ideal for settling in with a book or film. Throughout the house, thoughtful touches such as White Company hand wash, hand cream and night-time sprays in each bedroom add an extra level of care to the guest experience.
Upstairs, the bedrooms reflect the generous proportions found throughout the rest of the house. All three are spacious and well-presented, offering room to unwind while enjoying views across the countryside.
This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals. Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area. Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos. At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed. Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.
