This beautiful conversion has been sensitively undertaken to provide modern facilities using locally sourced materials and craftmanship. Superbly renovated by its owners to provide spacious and comfortable holiday accommodation. A long gravel driveway leads up to the Barn; the exteriors clad with wood sourced and crafted from the owner’s woodlands, the retaining stone walls once part of the building itself. The contemporary open plan living area has a beautiful shaker style kitchen, complete with all the modern appliances needed. Beautiful picture windows and large bi-fold doors make the most of the stunning views across the valley as far as the eye can see. Comfortable sofas positioned to take in the views and a cosy log burning stove for cooler weather. There is a ground floor bedroom and separate bathroom, convenient for guests with restricted mobility.
Upstairs the master ensuite bedroom has vaulted ceilings and velux windows. Both bedrooms beautifully furnished and beds dressed for a high level of comfort.
