Looking for your dream home? How about a beautiful barn conversion in the exclusive, semi-rural village of Tallentire, close to Cockermouth?
Barn View is a brilliant example of a sympathetic conversion that oozes style and celebrates the space of the original building.. A very modern, detached home, housed in a characterful, Grade 2 listed building, that is both imposing and welcoming.
The current owners have totally reconfigured the internal space, flipping the living space and the bedrooms to create a totally unique, upside-down home, making the most of the features, light and outlook.
The final renovation works have included:
New wall configurations with fresh plaster Rewiring of electrics and new plumbing Upgraded heating system, including vintage style, cast iron radiators throughout Most external windows and all doors replaced New, glazed front entrance Upgraded insulation Landscaping of front garden
The main living area needs to be experienced to be fully appreciated. With a floor area in excess of 70m2, exposed stone walls and substantial roof beams are highlighted thanks to an abundance of natural light. An impressive kitchen area boasts lots of useable storage, stunning black granite worktops and a large island that doubles as an informal eating place. Integrated AEG appliances include an oven, hob, dishwasher, microwave and espresso machine. The adjoining dining room is perfect for more formal family meals and leads to a lovely, glazed front entrance hall that offers direct access to the outside space - perfect for entertaining.
High quality, hardword flooring extends from the kitchen area to a lovely lounge which has a large woodburing stove as it's focal point. The woodburner complements the fully serviced, oil central heating system and thick stone walls and enhanced insulation keep fuel bills quite reasonable. This is confirmed by the attached EPC.
In addition to the main living space, flexibility is added by a separate snug room, a mezzanine
