Offering a blend of character, comfort, and countryside charm, this spacious barn conversion boasts an extensive garden, an open-plan kitchen-diner, a large garage, and a self-contained annexe perfect for multigenerational living or as a holiday let for additional income.

Kerine offers the best of both worlds - a beautifully light-filled family home ready to move into, yet full of potential for personal touches.

It delivers effortless family living in many ways, such as the solar panels that add a touch of modern sustainability, a utility room ideal for multiple loads of laundry, and convenient storage options throughout the home. The large integral garage with inspection pit provides room to tinker on the car, and with its own toilet, you can wash up easily without the need to traipse through the home.

The central landing is open and flooded with natural light, adding to the elegant flow between the living room and kitchen. Windows on three sides frame the beautiful countryside views, drawing light into the timeless living room, wrapping you in comfort and quiet charm. At its heart, a rustic limestone fireplace with a log burner cast a warmth ideal for cosy evenings in.

The open-plan kitchen-diner is designed for both everyday life and lively gatherings. Blending form with function, discover sleek cabinetry and integrated appliances, while a central peninsula offers a place to perch for homework and evening meal prep. There is ample room for a dining table - large enough for quiet breakfasts and hosting family dinners.

Four thoughtfully arranged bedrooms crown the home, each designed in neutral hues with pretty countryside vistas for a peaceful night's sleep. All have built-in wardrobes maximising space, and the single room allows for flexibility, whether it be used for a bedroom, office, or playroom. The contemporary family bathroom, comprising a shower over bath, WC, sink, heated towel rail, and underfloor heating, is functional for busy mornings and bedtime rituals but also comforting when a long soak is needed.

To the far end of the upper landing is the dual-aspect master suite, a private and light-filled spot to retreat. Its generous proportions offer plenty of room to unwind, with cupboards ensuring clothing is hidden out of sight, and an en-suite shower room lends a hint of luxury.

The self-contained annexe offers flexibility for modern family life with easy access into the home through the garage, and a private entrance to the driveway. Thoughtfully designed, comprising a separate kitchen and bathroom with a combined living and sleeping area, it makes the ideal spot for independent family members or visiting guests.

Gardens and Grounds
The outdoor space at Kerine is a true sanctuary-perfect for growing, entertaining, or simply soaking in the serenity. Your countryside dream kitchen garden, found at the start of the private driveway, houses raised beds filled with vegetables, a greenhouse complete with electrics for propagating, and a pretty orchard with apple, cherry, pear, plum, and damsons.

Closer to the home, the lush green lawn is bordered by mature trees, bushes, and perennials, providing privacy and interest throughout the seasons. Sit on the patio next to the pond and admire the wildlife that frequents the place.
At the rear, a capacious terrace leads from the kitchen, creating a beautiful and practical spot for entertaining and dining alfresco. Edging the fields and countryside beyond, you have the perfect peaceful vantage point to take in the uninterrupted views of rolling greenery and open skies.

Out and about
Set in Crooklands, in the heart of Cumbria, Kerine delivers a striking balance, combining day-to-day convenience with weekend adventures and always offering a peaceful haven to return to.

Seamlessly connected to countryside and city life, the home is just a stone's throw from J36 of the M6, minutes away from Kendal, within easy reach of Lancaster, and close to Oxenholme train station, making commuting and travelling further afield effortless.

Kendal, Milnthorpe, and Carnforth provide thriving communities with all your daily necessities. You will find numerous supermarkets with local and national products, plenty of pubs and eateries, playgrounds, primary and secondary schools, doctors' surgeries, dentists, swimming pools, gyms, cinemas, theatres, and attractions that will suit the whole family.

Just 20 minutes away, you'll find the Lakes, where watersports can be enjoyed, or perhaps opt for a scenic steamer trip across Ullswater, gliding past the wooded shores and majestic fellsides. Outdoor enthusiasts are spoilt for choice as you can venture out on foot or by bike into the depths of the surrounding landscape. For a seaside escape then Morecambe Bay and Arnside are both beautiful spots.
