Description

4 Westwood Barn is an exceptionally presented barn conversion, situated within a private and exclusive complex in the desirable village of Brough Sowerby.

The village offers a peaceful rural setting combined with excellent connectivity and a welcoming, close-knit community. Ideally positioned between the popular market town of Kirkby Stephen and the neighbouring village of Brough, the location provides the perfect balance of countryside living with convenient access to everyday amenities, schooling and transport links.

Brough offers a village shop, primary school, outreach post office and hotel, while regular bus services provide links to Kendal and Penrith. The property is also within the catchment area for the highly regarded Kirkby Stephen and Appleby Grammar Schools, making it an excellent choice for families. The renowned Settle–Carlisle railway line is easily accessible from both Kirkby Stephen and Appleby.

Offering spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors, 4 Westwood Barn provides four double bedrooms to the ground floor. The principal bedroom benefits from a Jack and Jill bathroom, while a separate wet room serves the remaining bedrooms.

To the first floor is an impressive open-plan living kitchen diner, featuring exposed beams and trusses, creating a wonderful sense of character and space. The well-appointed kitchen is perfectly suited for both everyday living and entertaining.

Externally, the property benefits from a low-maintenance east-facing patio area with parking, along with an additional parking space within the communal parking area. A convenient access gate from the parking area provides maintenance access to the rear of the property via the neighbouring farmyard.

4 Westwood Barn would make an exceptional family home, offering character, space and modern living in a sought-after rural location.
