The Byre

Nestled in the heart of the Lake District, this attractive holiday home is a renovated 'cowshed' of the farmhouse and it offers an escape from the pressures of modern life, and a chance to immerse yourself in nature. This refurbished modern barn conversion, which sleeps up to four people, is cradled in amongst the fells of Patterdale, offering fantastic views of the iconic UNESCO World Heritage Site landscape.

The property provides reverse accommodation and overlooks a working farml, which was built around 1670. The property is a Grade II-listed 17th century farmhouse situated on a working Lakeland hill farm in the scenic valley of Deepdale, close to Patterdale between Ullswater and Brotherswater in one of the most beautiful parts of the Lake District National Park.

Indian Runner Ducks run free and a peacock resides on the farm. The property's rural location means you are ideally situated for exploring the mountainous terrain of the Lake District.

With walks to Helvellyn and St Sunday Crag available from the doorstep within a mile radius, the stoned cottage is perfect for keen and ambitious hikers. The converted barn has also hosted HRH, the Prince of Wales.

Prince Charles attended a meeting on the sustainability of hill farming in 2009, which took place in the property itself. Whether you visit in the heat of summer or shelter from the frosty winds of winter, the modern barn conversion is a perfect retreat for your family, allowing you a glimpse of the traditional and peaceful way of life many of us long for.

The woodpile stacked up Against the exterior of the cottage - historically used as a cowshed - serves as a welcome greeting, promising a generous supply for the wood-burning stove. The front door opens to the downstairs corridor of the reversed accommodation, with pegs and space under the oak stairwell being the perfect place to store muddy outdoor gear.
