Swallow Barn, Newton, Nr Kirkby Lonsdale, LA6 2NZ

Nestled within a select development of barn conversions (the barns date back to the 19th Century and were converted in the early 2000's), Swallow Barn is a fabulous, attached four bedroom property enjoying uninterrupted views across the garden and open countryside to Leck Fell and Ingleborough and towards the Howgills in the distance.

Beautifully presented and well-maintained with sun filled spaces the accommodation is spacious and versatile with a gross internal area of c. 3051 sq ft (283.5 sq m).

There is planning consent (now lapsed) for 'Erection of single storey rear extension' (Lancaster City Council, dated 23 November 2022, reference 22/01251/FUL) to add a bathroom to the northeast elevation - this would create an en suite should the the dining room be used as a ground floor bedroom. There are other opportunities to extend, subject to the relevant consents.
