Faw Head Barn was converted in in the 70's and has the character features, one would expect from a dales barn conversion including beamed ceilings, quarried tiled flooring and a feature stone fireplace in the living room.
The accommodation comprises a kitchen diner, spacious living room with a multi fuel stove and a cosy snug. Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, one with a basin and a shower and the house bathroom. There is potential to have a third bedroom in the Snug area.
Outside, is a large front garden with a lawn and parking for multiple cars. The front garden benefits from views up to Stags Fell and the Butter Tubs pass, as well as down the dale towards Bainbridge. At the rear, is another lawn with mature flower beds and breath taking views across the dale. A timber shed and coal house provide handy storage.
