Tucked away in the peaceful hamlet of Water Yeat, Jacksons Barn is a beautiful 18th-century conversion that blends rustic charm with modern ease. This two-bedroom stone barn offers a quiet escape close to Coniston Water, where fell views and timeless character meet refined, contemporary comfort.

From the moment you enter the enclosed courtyard, Jacksons Barn feels like a sanctuary. Weathered stone walls and wooden doors hint at its heritage, while the soft sound of birdsong and the stillness of the surrounding fells set a slower pace. A covered area within the courtyard provides the perfect spot for morning coffee or late afternoon drinks, sheltered yet open to the air.

Inside, the sense of calm continues. The hallway and boot room welcome you with warm tones and exposed beams, a prelude to the inviting open-plan living space beyond. Once part of a working barn, the interior has been thoughtfully reimagined, retaining its authentic features while embracing modern living.

The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, designed with gatherings in mind. Neutral tones, generous proportions, and natural light create a space that feels both relaxed and uplifting. The kitchen is fully fitted with Bosch appliances, including an induction hob, built-in oven, and discreetly integrated dishwasher and fridge-freezer.

The adjoining dining area offers space for family meals or intimate suppers, while the living area invites you to unwind beside the log-burning stove. This is a place to pause after a long day exploring the Lakes, to curl up with a book, or simply to watch the fire flicker as the light fades across the hills.
A few steps down lead to the snug, a cosy retreat with a reading corner, perfect for quiet evenings or as a children's playroom.

Jacksons Barn has two en-suite bedrooms, each designed for peace and comfort. The principal bedroom enjoys generous proportions, a dressing area, and soft natural light from recessed windows. Its en-suite shower room combines simplicity with quality finishes.
The second bedroom, currently arranged as a twin, is equally spacious and can easily accommodate a king-size bed. A reading nook by the window offers a private place to unwind, and the en-suite bathroom features a shower over the bath. Every detail, from the placement of the windows to the choice of materials, has been considered to make these rooms feel calm and restorative.

Outdoor Living
The barn opens to two enclosed courtyards, both offering moments of quiet connection with the landscape. The main terrace is south-west facing, catching the afternoon sun, while the covered porch area with its barn doors allows you to enjoy the outdoors in all seasons.
Surrounded by open countryside, the home enjoys a real sense of privacy yet remains close to amenities. It is a hidden gem, peaceful and rural but never remote.

Jacksons Barn sits just a short walk from the southern tip of Coniston Water, one of the Lake District's most beautiful and tranquil lakes. Here you can swim, paddle, or simply stroll the shoreline and watch the light shift across the water.

The local area is ideal for walkers and cyclists, with nearby routes leading to Beacon Tarn, Blawith Common, and the Old Man of Coniston. Nature lovers will find an abundance of wildlife and ever-changing views in every direction.

A short drive brings you to the village of Coniston, where you'll find welcoming pubs, cafés, and independent shops. From here, it's easy to explore some of the Lake District's best-loved destinations - Tarn Hows, Hawkshead, and Cartmel are all within reach, as is the historic Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway.

Despite its secluded feel, Jacksons Barn is well-connected. Ulverston train station is around 25 minutes away, offering links to Lancaster and Barrow-in-Furness, while Oxenholme Lake District station connects directly to London and major UK cities via the West Coast Main Line. Local bus routes from Coniston and Greenodd provide connections to Ambleside, Ulverston, and Windermere, and local taxi services can be arranged in advance.

With its careful renovation, timeless charm, and close connection to the landscape, Jacksons Barn offers a way of life that feels both grounding and uplifting. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat, a welcoming family base, or an exceptional holiday home, this is a place that instantly feels like home.

About AshdownJones, The Lakes and Lune Valley

1C Low Cleabarrow Business Centre Windermere Cumbria LA23 3FA

Hey,

Nice to 'meet' you! We're Sam Ashdown and Phil Jones, founders of AshdownJones - a bespoke estate agency specialising in selling unique homes in The Lake District and Lune Valley.

We love a challenge...

Over the last eighteen years we have helped sell over 1000 unique and special homes, all with their very own story to tell, all with their unique challenges.

Our distinctive property marketing services are not right for every home, but those clients we do help consistently sell quicker, and for a higher price.

If you have a unique home in The Lake District or The Dales, lets put some time in the diary to have a chat. Within an hour (or possibly two), you'll have a clear picture of how we could help you sell your home for the price you want, in the timescale you need. You may not be considering selling right now, and that's cool with us, having all the information will help you make the right decisions for you and your families.

After all, the right advice, at the right time, makes all the difference.

Selling property is what most estate agents do; changing people's lives takes longer, but it's what we at AshdownJones do. Moving house will change your life, and we want to be a part of that change, helping you every step of the way.

Let's have a chat over a cup of tea (preferably Yorkshire) and talk about what's best for you.

Sam, Phil and The AJ Team
