The Old Shippon, Barbon, LA6 2LN

Here's our TOP TEN reasons to love The Old Shippon:

1. A recently converted semi-detached barn conversion - planning consent was granted to convert a stone and slate barn attached to the neighbouring farmhouse to create a domestic dwelling. The property is well-proportioned with a gross internal measurement of c. 1659 sq ft (154.1 sq m). It's also incredibly light with many skylight windows and glazing to the original barn opening. Many of the original beams, the external stone steps and barn opening remain from a bygone era.

2. High specification and energy efficient - the property has an excellent 'B' energy rating and has been finished with high quality fixtures and fittings to create a splendid home for the 21st Century.

3. Lovely views across open countryside to both the front and rear.

4. Come on in...to the entrance hall, off which is a two piece cloakroom. The sitting room has an electric stove set on a slate hearth and a splendid open aspect from the tall window. There is also an understairs cupboard. The living/dining kitchen is a wonderful sociable space for entertaining family and friends. There are two picture windows and three large skylights allowing natural light to flood in. The kitchen is fitted with contemporary base and wall units and integral appliances including an electric oven, microwave, induction hob, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. There is also an island unit with breakfast bar. Off the kitchen is a useful laundry room, with hot water cylinder and space and plumbing for an undercounter washing machine.

5. Sweet dreams - there are three double bedrooms, all being en suite. One is located to the ground floor with a glazed door to outside and an en suite shower room. An oak staircase leads to the spacious landing, galleried to the sitting room below. Bedroom 1 has a picture window and an en suite shower room with bedroom 2 having an en suite bathroom.

6. Outside space - a west facing walled garden borders an open field with a flagged terrace and level lawn.

7. Parking - there is off road parking to the front for two cars.

8. Potential income stream - currently a holiday let. The Old Shippon could be let out to help pay the bills when you don't need it, if purchased as a second home.

9. Available separately - to the southwest of the property is an open fronted cart shed with sheeted roof and a small area of land. Please ask the agents for further details.

10. For those who love the great outdoors, The Old Shippon is situated in the sought-after and picturesque Lune Valley village of Barbon. Within the Yorkshire Dales and close to the Lake District and the Forest of Bowland National Landscape, the area provides a stunningly scenic natural adventure playground.
