Old Town Lodge, High Hesket, CA4

Forming part of a small and individual development within the desirable village of High Hesket, this charming barn conversion offers characterful and versatile accommodation, beautifully blending retained period features with the comforts of modern living.

Uniquely positioned in an elevated setting, the property is accessed via traditional stone steps leading to what we believe was formerly the first floor of the original structure, now serving as the main entrance level to the home.

Entry is gained through a delightful and light-filled sun room, a versatile reception space enhanced by an attractive upper-level feature window with obscured glazing and an arched lintel, reflecting the property's agricultural heritage. Double doors open into the kitchen, creating a sociable flow ideal for entertaining.

The kitchen is fitted with an excellent range of units topped with tiled work surfaces and matching splashbacks, while integrated appliances include a double oven, hob, extractor fan, fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. The room links seamlessly through to the impressive dining living area.

A particularly generous and characterful room, the dining living room enjoys triple-aspect windows together with doors leading out to the elevated external seating area. A multi-fuel stove set within a stone fireplace with timber lintel creates a striking focal point, while wooden flooring and a staircase rising to the first floor further enhance the warmth and charm of the space. A fitted cupboard positioned beside the fireplace provides useful storage and discreetly houses the consumer unit, while ample space is available for both seating and dining arrangements.

To the first floor, the character of the property continues with exposed stone walls, beams and traditional wooden latch doors. There are three double bedrooms, all well-proportioned and full of charm. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite bathroom comprising WC, wash hand basin and bath with shower over, while the remaining two bedrooms are served by a Jack and Jill shower room fitted with a WC, basin and shower cubicle.

Externally, the property continues to impress. An elevated pathway and seating area extends along the front of the property, including the living room and two of the bedrooms, all of which enjoy independent access onto this delightful outdoor space. In addition, there is a generous low-maintenance garden to ground floor level, predominantly laid to gravel and complemented by a partly walled boundary, providing an attractive area to enjoy the surroundings.

Further benefits include a single terraced garage, identified by its dark blue door, together with two allocated parking spaces positioned at the end of the parking row.

A wonderfully individual home, rich in character and ideally suited to those seeking something a little different within a highly regarded village location.
