4 Bed Cottage in Crosby Garrett

About this property

Lose yourself in delightful rural views across Crosby Garrett towards the enchanting Cumbrian countryside from almost every window of this idyllic family-friendly barn conversion. It boasts a plethora of footpaths beginning from the doorstep.

Beautifully retaining original features reminiscent of the barn’s rich heritage, the open-plan farmhouse kitchen/diner at the heart of this home-from-home is inspired by the breathtaking countryside views framed by the floor-to-ceiling picture windows. Lit by the glow of the roaring wood burner, the charming lounge is as idyllic as it is warming, setting the scene for ultimate relaxation. Upstairs, you’ll find two super-king-size zip-and-link bedrooms (which can be made up as a twin) and two super-king-size bedrooms that share the same rustic charm and character as the ground floor, with the master featuring a delightful Juliet balcony boasting views across the fells and fields. Soak up the last of the evening’s sunshine by dining alfresco with a glass of something chilled on the patio as children let off some steam on the lawn.

The picturesque village of Crosby Garrett is a paradise for keen outdoor explorers, home to a fantastic range of walking and cycling routes beginning from the doorstep; keep your eyes peeled for a glimpse of the red squirrels who call this place home. Venture to the bustling market town of Kirkby Stephen (4 miles) to explore its cobbled yards lined with a variety of fabulous local shops or head to Appleby-in-Westmorland (9 miles) to discover its 17th-century castle and some fantastic local pubs. Immerse yourself in the area’s rich heritage with a visit to the ancient ruins of Pendragon Castle, steeped in the legend surrounding King Arthur, reached within 8.5 miles.
