Surrounded by rolling Cumbrian countryside and open fields, it feels blissfully secluded, yet the M6 and Oxenholme mainline station are both just two miles away. This is where convenience and countryside meet, where light pours through generous windows, and every view draws the eye outward to green horizons.

Arriving at The Drumlins, a broad gravel drive opens to ample parking and a single garage with power. The handsome stone façade hints at the home's history, while inside, the conversion has been thoughtfully designed to make the most of its natural setting.
Each window frames a slice of landscape, from morning light over the meadows to the soft glow of evening sun on the fells.

The sense of space is immediate. A bespoke kitchen sits at the heart of the home, crafted with care and finished to an exceptional standard. Modern cabinetry and generous worktops combine function with flair, and the adjoining dining and conservatory area invites you to linger. Here, glass walls blur the line between inside and out, allowing the garden and fields beyond to feel part of the living space itself. It is a place that changes character with the seasons - bright and airy in summer, peaceful and cocooned in winter.

From the kitchen, a utility and cloakroom provide everyday practicality, with direct access outdoors - ideal after a muddy walk or for children and dogs returning from adventure. Beyond, the sitting room is a space to slow down. Exposed beams and a log burner lend warmth and charm, while French doors open onto a balcony that catches the last of the sun. From here, the view stretches across open fields, unbroken and timeless.

Upstairs, the flow continues through two generous bedrooms. The spacious principal suite is serene and filled with light, its dual-aspect windows framing uninterrupted views of the countryside. Built-in wardrobes offer practical storage, and a private en-suite shower room adds to the sense of calm retreat. The family bathroom is equally well-appointed, featuring a freestanding bath and a modern finish that complements the home's character.

A further bedroom upstairs enjoys its own striking outlook, while the third forms part of a flexible guest suite, complete with its own entrance, sitting area, double bedroom, and shower room. This self-contained space, with private access from the courtyard, offers ideal accommodation for visiting family or as an independent work or studio area.

The gardens are as much a part of this home as the interior. Wrapping around three sides of the house, they offer a choice of seating areas that follow the sun throughout the day. Morning coffee on the terrace, lunch beneath the trees, evening drinks on the balcony - every corner has its own charm. The planting is mature yet manageable, with lawns, flower beds, and shrubs softening the edges.

At the far end, a summer house provides both storage and potential - a quiet office, artist's studio, or simply a spot to sit and watch the changing light. Beyond the boundaries, shared fields stretch gently towards the fells, a reminder that this home sits in one of the most beautiful landscapes in England.

Despite its rural feel, life at The Drumlins is effortlessly connected. Stainton sits just minutes from Kendal's historic market town, with its independent shops, artisan bakeries, and cultural scene centred around the Brewery Arts Centre. The nearby villages of Milnthorpe and Kirkby Lonsdale offer further choice for dining and shopping, while the Lake District National Park begins a short drive away, promising lakeside walks, sailing, and endless adventure.

For families, the location offers both peace and practicality. There are school bus routes to Kendal, Kirkby Lonsdale and Milnthorpe, and Westmorland General Hospital is just five minutes away. Regular trains from Oxenholme connect directly to London and Scotland, making The Drumlins a true home for those seeking both escape and accessibility.

Halfpenny is a small and welcoming hamlet of just thirteen homes. A friendly community spirit runs through it, with neighbours who look out for one another. The four homes that form the Halfpenny Barns share maintenance of the private three-quarter acre field and communal areas through a self-managed company - a simple, well-organised arrangement that keeps the surroundings pristine without external involvement.

There is a quiet rhythm to life here. Days begin with birdsong and sunrise over the hills, and evenings end with golden light fading beyond the fields. It is the kind of place that makes you pause, breathe, and feel grounded.

Converted in 1992, its design honours the original character while creating a light-filled home tailored to modern living. With underfloor heating in the kitchen and conservatory, double-glazed windows, and thoughtful details throughout, it is a house built for comfort and longevity.

Whether hosting family, working from home, or enjoying quiet weekends in the garden, this is a home that adapts to every lifestyle. It holds both elegance and ease - a place to arrive at and immediately feel at home.

Set within around one-third of an acre, with countryside views in every direction, The Drumlins offers the rare combination of privacy, space, and accessibility. Here, you can enjoy the stillness of a rural setting without giving up the convenience of town and transport links close by.

For those seeking a home with heart, where every window frames a view worth pausing for, The Drumlins is a beautiful invitation to slow down and savour life in the South Lakes.
