Description

Nestled in the Ulverston countryside, Hollow Ghyll is a stunning barn conversion that effortlessly blends traditional character with contemporary comfort. Set within beautifully landscaped gardens and framed by rolling countryside views, this exceptional home extends to over 2,850 sq ft, offering generous, flexible living spaces for modern family life.

The ground floor is designed for both comfort and entertaining, featuring three versatile reception rooms. Relax by the wood burning stove in the cosy living room, find a quiet moment in the snug or study, or enjoy meals with friends and family in the dining room, which flows seamlessly to the garden on summer evenings. At the heart of the home, a farmhouse-style kitchen with a 4 oven AGA and integrated sound system provides the perfect hub for casual dining, lively gatherings, or simply unwinding after a day exploring the fells. A utility room, cloakroom, guest bedroom, and family bathroom complete this level, offering practicality alongside charm.

Upstairs, three generously proportioned double bedrooms and a family bathroom are complemented by a stunning vaulted entertainment suite with exposed beams, a flexible, jaw dropping space, that could serve as a fifth bedroom, cinema room, or creative studio. We will leave it to you to decide.

Outside, the gardens are a true extension of the home. Lawns, patio areas, and mature trees create tranquil spaces for al fresco dining, summer entertaining, or simply soaking up the serenity of the landscape. A workshop space and ample parking ensure practicality alongside the property's undeniable charm.

Hollow Ghyll is more than a house, it is a lifestyle. A home of warmth, versatility, and enduring character, perfectly suited to family life, entertaining, and embracing the very best of Lakeland living.

Location Pennington offers the charm of a village setting while remaining just a short drive from Ulverston - a town celebrated for its independent shops, eateries and thriving community. The Lake District National Park lies within easy reach, providing endless opportunities for adventure, while the A590 ensures excellent connectivity to the wider region.
