About this property
Carbon neutral, luxury eco barn conversion with stunning sea/mountain viewsviews
Spacious 3 bedroom self catering holiday let in the South Lakes, sleeps 6 people. Minimum rental 3 nights. We are unable to accommodate children under 4 for safety reasons.
This semi detached barn conversion is located on a working sheep farm. Accommodation is over three floors with open plan kitchen and living spaces and generous bedroom accommodation.
Upper ground floor houses a spacious living area with breathtaking views over the Duddon estuary and surrounding mountains through a large, double height, picture window, a fantastic space to watch an often dramatic sunset.
The kitchen and dining spaces at lower ground level connect with an intimate landscaped patio ideal for bbqs.
It is just a short walk to the friendly local pub in Grizebeck village, serving meals and real ale.
A footpath runs past the property giving access to Kirkby Moor, Great Burney Fell and beyond. Both tops provide wonderful views north to the central Lake district peaks and south over Morecambe Bay.

Why they chose this property
We had spent many years searching for a property in the South Lakes. Sturdy Bank Barn came up for auction in 2010, it was in very poor condition and in need of complete renovation - just what John was looking for. The result is a property with a contemporary style incorporating original features and natural materials.
It provides a light, spacious, airy and comfortable living environment. We consider ourselves very fortunate to live in such a beatiful location and never tire of the constantly changing views and stunning sunsets.

What makes this property unique
Sturdy Bank Barn is located in a quieter corner of the Lake District yet is within easy reach of the central lakes and the wilder western valleys of Eskdale and Wasdale. The latter offer in our view the best walking in the Lakes and hikers have access to the highest Lakeland Peaks. Immediately on our doorstep is the hidden gem of the Duddon Valley, no lake, just quiet, beautiful landscape that is missed by most visitors.
