Positioned within the peaceful countryside of Littledale, this beautifully converted barn looks across the Lune Valley towards Morecambe Bay and the distant fells.

The landscape feels wonderfully expansive. Skies stretch far beyond the garden, light moves across the valley and changing weather creates an ever-evolving outlook. Yet the house remains sheltered and private, surrounded by approximately 0.75 acres of land with only two neighbouring homes beyond.

Its traditional agricultural origins give Haws House Barn a reassuring sense of permanence. Stonework and generous proportions speak of its former life, while carefully considered additions have created a comfortable and versatile family home. The result is not simply a conversion, but a house that has developed naturally around modern life.

A Kitchen With A View
The kitchen forms a welcoming introduction to the main house. Oak cabinetry brings warmth and texture, complemented by an AGA and matching AGA refrigerator. It is a practical, substantial room, designed for daily cooking as much as unhurried weekends around the table. Windows frame the countryside beyond, bringing the beautiful landscape into even the most familiar routines. Preparing breakfast, pouring coffee or gathering at the end of the day all take place against a remarkable backdrop.

From here, the house opens into its principal living space. Generous glazing fills the room with natural light, while doors connect directly with the patio. In warmer months, the distinction between house and garden becomes beautifully relaxed. Meals can move outdoors, children can drift between the two and evenings can be spent watching the last light settle across the valley. A substantial log-burning stove brings focus and warmth to the room during colder seasons. Its presence feels entirely appropriate within the barn, adding character without competing with the scale of the surrounding landscape.

Space For Life To Unfold
The living accommodation has been arranged to offer both connection and independence. Above the main sitting area is a second reception space, previously used as a television room with a generous corner sofa. It provides a more informal place for films, games or quiet evenings, while remaining visually connected to the heart of the house.

A further reception room offers yet more flexibility. Its abundance of windows creates a bright and inviting atmosphere, equally well suited to formal dining, a cinema room, music space or comfortable family snug. This adaptability allows the house to evolve as circumstances change, whether accommodating growing children, regular guests or working from home.

Underfloor heating contributes to the calm, uncluttered feel of the interiors. The warmth is gentle and consistent, particularly welcome beneath the generous open spaces of a converted barn.

The more recently completed section of the house introduces contemporary comfort while remaining sympathetic to the original building. A broad hallway creates a pleasing sense of arrival, while a substantial shower room provides a large walk-in enclosure.

Restful Private Rooms
Four bedrooms provide excellent accommodation for family and visitors. The principal bedroom enjoys an en-suite shower room and a large picture window positioned to make the most of the view. The outlook is not an occasional feature here, but something experienced from the moment the curtains are opened each morning.

A second bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite facilities, making it particularly suitable for guests or an older child seeking greater independence. The remaining bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom, where a generous bathtub creates an inviting place to unwind.

One bedroom includes a Juliette balcony, drawing in fresh air and light while opening the room towards the countryside. Throughout the bedrooms, numerous windows ensure the interiors remain bright and connected to their surroundings.
Each room has its own character, but the same sense of peace runs through them all. There is space for children to grow, guests to stay comfortably and family life to unfold without compromise.

More Than A Garage
The outbuildings considerably extend the possibilities of Haws House Barn. A substantial garage can accommodate two cars, alongside additional space for equipment and storage. The wider driveway and parking areas provide ample room for several vehicles, useful for busy households and visiting friends.

An adjoining area in the garage includes utility facilities and a WC, while a further large room is already supplied with power and internet. It could remain valuable storage, although its scale and existing services invite more imaginative use. A private office, games room, gym, studio or workshop would all feel entirely at home here, subject to any necessary consents.

Separate sheds offer further practical space for garden machinery, bicycles and outdoor equipment. For those with hobbies, collections or a business requiring room beyond the house, this supporting accommodation is an important part of the offering.

Country Living, Well Connected
The grounds wrap around the house, creating a broad sense of ownership and privacy. The patio provides an immediate place to sit and enjoy the outlook, while the wider land offers scope for gardening, outdoor play and quiet corners from which to appreciate the setting.

Littledale is a peaceful rural community positioned above the Lune Valley, where walking routes and open countryside begin almost at the door. The nearby villages of Brookhouse and Caton provide everyday amenities, including local shops, schools and places to eat, while Lancaster offers a wider selection of independent businesses, cultural attractions and rail connections.

The M6 is also within practical reach, making journeys north and south straightforward. This balance is one of the home's greatest strengths. Haws House Barn feels deeply immersed in the countryside, yet it remains connected to the places and services required for everyday life.

This is a house for those who value space in every sense. Space to gather and retreat, to work and create, to entertain and grow. Above all, it offers the rare opportunity to live with a remarkable landscape as a constant companion.
