Skirden Barn, Casterton, LA6

Set within a farmstead setting in a highly sought-after and picturesque village location, a short distance from Kirkby Lonsdale, Skirden Barn is a semi detached Grade II Listed recently converted barn.

High quality fixtures and fittings and a contemporary kitchen and bath/shower rooms blend well with the character beams, lintels and exposed stone walls and since the vendors' purchase, the property has been enhanced further by the conversion of an outbuilding to create a wonderful studio/garden room.

The accommodation is spacious (gross internal measurement of 1578 sq ft [146.6 sq m]), sun filled, light and airy and offers a wonderful and sociable open plan living space.

Move in and start living, this is a house to relax and enjoy!

The dining kitchen is fitted with base, wall and island units, quartz worktops and uprights, integral oven and grill, induction hob, dishwasher and fridge/freezer.

Outdoor space

To the rear, there is a large gravel parking and turning area bordered by stone walls and providing private parking for a number of vehicles.

A stone and slate outbuilding, known as 'The Piggery' has been converted into a studio/garden room with fitted unit to one wall, granite worktop, wood panelling to one wall and bi-folding doors. This space can be used in many ways - home office, gym, hobby room etc. Attached is a garden store - this has plumbing so a WC and wash basin could be installed.

There are two separate garden areas - to the front and with a wooden pedestrian gate from the shared lane, a south facing, split-level garden with lawn, planted beds, flagged terraces and direct access from the dining kitchen and sitting room.

The second garden is south-westerly facing with access from the lane and from the studio/garden room. There's a level lawn, flagged terrace and rocky outcrop as well as far reaching views.
