Once part of a 17th-century estate, built as the original barn for the farmhouse in 1650, this four-bedroom home rests on the edge of woodland and open fields.

Only minutes from Windermere, Bowness, Grasmere, and Hawkshead, this converted barn offers a unique blend of rustic charm and modern comforts in an ideal setting.

Welcome Home
Pull off the quiet lane and onto the gravelled driveway, where there's room for 3 cars.

Low stone walls edge the space, while mature planting and colourful flower beds bring charm and character. Follow the path to the front portico, where a solid, handsome door, framed by glazed side panels, sets the tone for the warmth and welcome waiting inside.

Step into an open-plan space where character meets possibility.

Overhead, original beams stretch across the ceiling, softened by the warm glow of scattered spotlights. Bright white walls amplify the natural light, while to the right, an exposed stone wall with a built-in bench adds a touch of rustic charm.

Currently set up as a games room, this versatile space invites imagination. With panelled walls and statement pendant lighting, it could just as easily become a cosy cinema snug, an additional lounge, or a creative retreat, whatever your lifestyle calls for.

Cleverly tucked away, the washer and dryer sit neatly behind integrated cabinetry, as does the boiler, keeping everyday essentials out of sight and the space feeling calm and uncluttered.

Contemporary in style, the downstairs cloakroom is both practical and polished. Refresh and revive in the generous walk-in shower, with WC and washbasin completing the clean, modern suite.

Sweet Dreams
Make your way into a spacious double bedroom, where the rustic beauty of an exposed stone wall and timber beams overhead bring warmth and authenticity. Perfect for guests or as a restful retreat of your own, it's a room filled with calmness and history.

Wander a little further down a characterful corridor, its walls lined in natural stone, and discover another double bedroom. Humming with heritage, this room features exposed beams across the ceiling, while the stonework continues in gentle rhythm along the walls. A perfectly placed window frames an ever-changing canvas, inviting in morning light, and an inbuilt storage cupboard is ready to keep all personal items organised.

Room for All
Climb the stairs and step into the open-plan living and dining room, a breathtaking space where vaulted ceilings soar overhead and full-height beams carry the quiet echo of the barn's past. Light floods in from both directions, casting a soft glow across the room and framing views of woodland and fields that shift with the seasons.

To the right, a spacious double bedroom awaits. With its lofty ceiling, exposed stone wall, and timber beams, it's a room that feels both intimate and expansive. A window draws your eye to the countryside beyond, while built-in storage keeps everything effortlessly ordered.

Next door, discover a second bedroom, a near mirror image, equally rich in character. High ceilings, timeworn beams and another stretch of stone wall bring depth and texture, making this a peaceful haven.
Return to the heart of the upstairs, the living space, where soft carpeting and generous proportions create an open, easy comfort. There's space here for oversized sofas, armchairs, and quiet moments or lively conversations.

Flow into the dining area, where family meals stretch long into the evening and laughter lingers in the air. Whether you're gathering over breakfast with the view or hosting a dinner by candlelight, this is a space made for connection.

A Feast for the Eyes
Step into the kitchen, where practicality meets contemporary design. Underfoot, vinyl flooring offers durability and ease, making it ideal for everyday living. Above and below the sleek quartz composite worktops, generous cabinetry keeps essentials tucked neatly away, while a toughened glass splashback behind the hob adds both function and a modern touch.

Fully equipped with high-spec Siemens appliances, this is a space designed for those who love to cook and entertain. Everything is here: a 70/30 fridge-freezer, fully integrated dishwasher, single multi-function oven, combination microwave, five-ring induction hob, and warming drawer. An Insinkerator, Franke filter tap, and Siemens extractor complete the setup.

To the rear, a door leads to an enclosed porch, offering access to the garden beyond.

Flow into the family bathroom, a bright, contemporary space designed with both style and comfort in mind. Featuring a WC, and a washbasin with built-in storage that keeps surfaces clutter-free. The bath, complete with overhead shower, offers the best of both worlds for long soaks or quick morning routines.

Gardens and Grounds
Tiered, tucked-away, and quietly spectacular, the outdoor spaces at Red Deer Lodge are as thoughtfully shaped as the home itself.

To the front, practicality greets you first with the gravelled parking for 3 vehicles, framed by low stone walls and mature planting that softens the edges and offers a warm, green welcome. Make your way up the stone steps that rise to the lower patio, a sheltered spot perfect for summer barbecues and easy-going evenings with friends. There's room here for a table, laughter, and the gentle rhythm of relaxed, outdoor living.

Climb a little higher and you'll arrive at the upper terrace, bathed in sunlight for most of the day. From this elevated position, the view unfolds in layers, first over the rooftops of Finsthwaite village, then across rolling fields, and finally towards the silhouette of St Peter's Church, where history lingers. Said to be the resting place of Bonnie Prince Charlie's daughter, known locally as the "Finsthwaite Princess."
