3 Hgh Barn, Crosthwaite, Lyth Valley, Kendal, Cumbria, LA8 8BZ

A rare opportunity to rent this spacious 5 bedroomed barn conversion . Having recently had some cosmetic upgrades, the property is immediately available and ready to move into for Christmas 2023. With accommodation over three floors, space is no issue at 3 The High. Upon entry is a hallway leading in to the open plan living/dining kitchen. There is a separate utility to the rear and under stairs storage. The first floor is complete with three bedrooms and family bathroom with two additional double bedrooms to the third (top) floor. Externally the property benefits from private parking for 2-3 cars, private lawn at the front, a rear courtyard and useful storage to one side.

The scattered village of Crosthwaite is set in the undulating and highly picturesque Lyth Valley. At the head of a private drive and benefiting from an elevated setting which provides far reaching panoramic views, The High farmstead is a small residential development including one substantial barn which in the early 2000s was converted into three dwellings, an additional detached barn conversion, the original farmhouse and attached cottage. These six properties are all individually designed and to some degree each one enjoys the fabulous far-reaching views of the valley and Lakeland fells.
