Some houses may have a good view, some even a great one, but

few will rival the sensational panorama enjoyed from Wreay

Barn, whatever the price range.

With long stretches of Ullswater glittering below and range upon

range of dramatic fells beyond the views really set this wonderful

barn conversion apart. There is however so much more on offer

with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a sitting room with a balcony, a

family kitchen, utility room, parking and no garden worries - the

perfect holiday let or weekend retreat.

Description From Pooley Bridge through Sharrow Bay to Howtown, long

reaches of the sparkling waters of beautiful Ullswater stretch out in

front of you. Beyond are the gentle slopes of Loadpot Hill, Matterdale

Common, Hallin Fell and Place Fell, sweeping around to the dramatic

high fells towards The Knott and High Street with even part of the

Helvellyn Mountain Range also on view. An impressive list, but not half

as impressive as the reality of that wonderful panorama, best enjoyed

from the full width balcony which is accessed from the sitting room.

There is nevertheless a delightful view to be had from many a window

in this intriguing barn conversion. Wreay Barn was converted in 1996 to

a splendid design with high levels of insulation and a great deal of

thought given to the layout. The mid level entrance hall leads up to a

wonderful sitting room complete with a multi-fuel stove for cosy winter

evenings, sensational views and a door leading out on to the full width

and well-proportioned balcony. Adjoining this is a splendid family

kitchen with adjoining dining area, again with lovely views, and a

separate utility room.

A retractable ladder in the utility room leads up to a very useful attic

room, perfect for locking away personal effects if holiday letting but

even better as a childrens den which has even been put to use as an

occasional bedroom in the past.

On the lower floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms. The master

bedroom has a balcony and an en suite shower room and both this and

the house bathroom have been stylishly updated in recent times.

There is private car parking provision both to the front and the side of

the property with further parking available in the vicinity if needed.

visiting time tending a lawn or flower borders when you could be sitting

sensational view, perhaps before strolling down the lane to the

Brackenrigg Inn for the evening.

Idyllic as a lock up and leave weekend retreat or perfect as a unique

holiday let enjoying splendid access to the fells and to the lake shore as

well as to the A66 and M6 motorway to Keswick, Derwent Water,

Bassenthwaite and many other Lakeland Fells which for many will make

weekend visits a realistic option - simply not one to miss.
