About this property

"This spacious Grade II listed Lakeland barn is a real find in the lush setting of the Lyth Valley, close to the village of Underbarrow, with its rather nice local pub: The Black Labrador. Enter through the hallway, on the ground floor, and where the bedroom is located: 1 Super - king. Lovely separate bathroom with rustic wood panelling and shower over bath. Head upstairs to the open plan living space, encompassing the well-equipped kitchen, living room and dining room. This large, bright space features locally commissioned wrought ironwork fittings and wooden furniture set in lovely A-frame oak beams. Surrounded by fabulous views of the Lyth Valley - this is a true picture postcard setting with wonderful walks in every direction and if you want to stay close to home, enjoy the small garden with its seating area. Explore the surrounding lanes and byways, drop in at the excellent traditional local pubs, or take day-trips to nearby Bowness, Lake Windermere and beyond. The Lyth Valley is a gorgeous rural area, scattered with traditional Lake District country cottages and farms. Wonderful traditional pubs with good food and great ales abound, including the Punchbowl at nearby Crosthwaite. The surrounding Lyth valley is well-known for its Damson harvests and is decked in Damson blossom in spring. Great Walks start from your doorstep. You can choose from gentle strolls along winding paths and lanes to dramatic walks on Scout Scar and Whitbarrow Scar. The views across the Lakes and neighbouring counties from these bracing but manageable walks are stunning. Underbarrow lies between Kendal and Bowness, and is very easily accessible from the M6. The popular tourist town of Bowness and the shores of Lake Windermere are only a short drive away "

Crosthwaite is a small village set in the picturesque Lyth Valley, famous for its damson trees, and boasts a lovely pub known nationally for its excellent food. The lakeside towns of Windermere and Bowness are nearby, with plenty of activities, interest and entertainment for all ages. Also within easy reach is the popular market town of Kendal, an historic Lakeland town with a fine reputation for shopping. Kendal nestles on the banks of the River Kent. Its old cobbled lanes and byways branch off the attractive main street, and the stone ruins of 12th century Kendal Castle sit perched on a hill with views over the town. Both Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall with its superb Topiary Garden, are nearby, as are limestone escarpments for easy walking, offering thrilling views of the Lakeland Mountains, the Howgills and Morecambe Bay.
