About this property

A stunning 17th-century barn, converted to the highest standards, Low Brow Barn near Ambleside is situated at the foot of Wansfell and surrounded by the gorgeous countryside of the heart of the Lake District.

With very few steps in the accommodation, the barn has been furnished in a comfortable and contemporary style with spacious and open plan accommodation for a small family or four adults who want to explore Lakeland at any time of year.

As you step in through the large barn door, you'll find yourself in the most fabulous open plan room with the original exposed beams and huge picture windows to take in the tranquil and beautiful surroundings and flood the space with natural light. It really is a breath taking space, with comfortable seating around the wood burning stove and a really fabulous dining kitchen area with a slate floor, Rangemaster cooker and marble worktops. This beautiful conversion offers period character, a modern high-end finish and contemporary style, which continues through to the two king size bedrooms and the fantastic modern bathrooms. Walk into the master bedroom and through to the on-suite rain forest shower with vanity unit and WC. The second rain forest shower is not on-suite but provides the luxury as with the on-suite with vanity unit and WC.

Step outside and there are so many tranquil places to sit and enjoy the day and take in the views. There's the private lawned garden and then the choice of two raised patios with garden furniture and a BBQ. The garden really is the ideal place for dining al fresco or simply relaxing after the hustle and bustle of a day in the Lakes.
