Welcome Home to Helm View...

Set within the timeless and unspoilt village of Milburn, this enchanting two bedroom barn conversion offers a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful countryside retreat beneath the dramatic backdrop of the Pennines. Beautifully positioned at the foot of Cross Fell, the highest point in the Pennine range, the property enjoys far reaching views across rolling farmland and open skies, creating a sense of calm and connection to the landscape that surrounds it.

Currently operated as a successful holiday let, the property is equally well suited as a charming full time residence, a weekend escape or a lifestyle investment for those seeking peace, scenery and authentic rural living. The accommodation briefly comprises two beautiful bedrooms, a fitted kitchen, a cosy living room, a sun filled conservatory and a private, low maintenance garden.

Milburn is a highly regarded and picturesque Eden Valley village, rich in history and community spirit. Surrounded by open countryside and scenic walking routes, it offers an idyllic rural setting while remaining within easy reach of local amenities. The market town of Penrith lies approximately nine miles away, with Appleby in Westmorland around six miles distant, providing shops, schools, rail links and wider services. The village’s position beneath Cross Fell affords breath-taking views and a constantly changing landscape, from misty mornings to golden sunsets over the Pennines.

On entering the property, you are welcomed into a well appointed fitted kitchen that balances practicality with charm. The kitchen is fitted with white wall and base units complemented by grey worktops, an integrated gas hob, oven and extractor fan, along with space for a washing machine and a small fridge freezer. A stainless steel sink sits beneath gentle lighting, while part tiled walls and laminate flooring complete the space. From here, the accommodation flows naturally into the heart of the home.

The living room is warm and inviting, with exposed beams that reflect the building’s agricultural heritage and a gas log burner set upon a stone hearth, creating a comforting focal point. A double glazed window to the front allows natural light to filter in, while carpet flooring enhances the cosy atmosphere. This is a room designed for quiet evenings, shared conversation and relaxed rural living.

Leading from the living room is the conservatory, a truly special space that draws the outside in. Bathed in natural light and enjoying lovely views across the surrounding countryside towards the Pennines in the distance, this room offers a peaceful sanctuary throughout the seasons. Currently used as a dining room, it is equally suited for reading, entertaining or simply enjoying a morning coffee while taking in the scenery. Double glazed French doors open out to the rear garden, creating a seamless connection between house and garden, with laminate flooring underfoot.

The first floor accommodation comprises two bedrooms and a well appointed family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a comfortable double room featuring fitted wardrobes and a useful storage cupboard. A double glazed window with a deep stone sill frames views across open countryside, offering a tranquil outlook to begin each day.
