Tub Hole Barn

Here's our TOP TEN reasons to love Tub Hole Barn:

1. The breathtaking views - to the north across the vale, up the valley to the west to Dent, The Howgills and in the far distance, the Lakeland Fells and to the east, glimpses down the valley. The principal rooms enjoy the splendid aspects.

2. Character barn conversion - this stone and slate barn, once belonging to neighbouring farmhouse, Tub Hole, and dating back to late 17th/early 18th century, was converted several years ago. Some character features remain with beamed ceilings, exposed stonework and internal stone steps.

3. Extremely spacious and with versatile accommodation - the gross internal area is c. 3099 sq ft
(287.9 sq m).

4. Make an entrance into the good sized hall with cloakroom and cloaks cupboard. Off the hall is a large sitting room with valley views, exposed stone work and woodburner set on a flagged hearth.

5. Sociable living dining kitchen - the kitchen is fitted with base and wall units to one end and to the other, space for comfortable seating as well as a window seat; to the centre, a woodburner with exposed stonework, recess niches and a flagged hearth and backdrop and ample space for a dining table. Off the kitchen with external access, there is a utility room/larder with base and wall units.

6. and so to bed... with five double bedrooms, there's plenty of space for visiting family and friends. Part oak/part stone steps lead to a half landing and access to bedroom 1; being triple aspect and open to the apex with cruck beams, this room could double as as second sitting/family room or hobby space. An oak open riser staircase continues to the generous landing with four double bedrooms, a useful store/linen cupboard and a three piece bathroom.

7. Potential to upgrade the lower ground floor to integral or separate living accommodation with
external access and currently providing a laundry/boiler room, bike store, workshop and garden store, this space offers excellent scope to upgrade for a number of uses; a home office, games/cinema room, children's den or with the Dales Way on the doorstep, maybe an Airbnb (subject to the relevant consents).

8. Attractive informal gardens surround the property with flagged and paved seating terraces, tiered lawns, an elevated 'tree house' enjoying the fabulous views (steps currently not sound), walled garden with greenhouse and mature planting and trees including a splendid copper beech and horse chestnut. To the right of the entrance gate, there is a works area with useful log store.

9. Parking - a gated entrance leads up the drive and to a parking area for several cars.

10. Idyllic, peaceful location - escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life to this peaceful haven.
