Additionally, a versatile well-insulated home office/summer house provides an excellent space for work or leisure, making this barn conversion an idyllic retreat for those seeking a harmonious blend of rural charm.

**Property** **Overview:** **** Rosewood is situated in a rural location, yet it remains conveniently close to Kendal. Known as the "Gateway to the Lake District," the market town provides easy access to both the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks. The M6 motorway and the mainline railway station at Oxenholme ensure quick travel, with London reachable in just under three hours. Kendal's town centre offers a library, supermarket, churches, banks, and medical practices, along with specialist artisan providers and small businesses. Nearby, there is a leisure centre with a swimming pool, and The Brewery Arts Centre, a renowned venue for theatre, cinema, music, and cultural events.

Stepping through the front door, you are greeted by a large entrance porch adorned with exposed brick and beams, and a window with a deep sill that adds to the rustic charm. This leads into the spacious entrance hall, featuring stairs to the first floor and a door to the attached garage. A further door opens into the inner hall, which includes useful storage cupboards and provides access to two bedrooms and a shower room.

The shower room includes a three-piece suite with a corner shower cubicle, WC and wash hand basin. It also features part-tiled walls, a heated towel rail and an extractor fan.

Into bedroom four which can be served as either a bedroom or a study, featuring a window with a side aspect. Continuing down the inner hall, you'll find bedroom three, a spacious double room with a side aspect.

The inner hall includes a practical utility area with a worktop featuring a sink and a half with a drainer, along with plumbing for a washing machine. A door from the utility area leads to the rear porch, which provides access to the rear garden and the cabin/home office.

Heading to the first floor, you'll discover a well-appointed dining kitchen, a cosy living room, two comfortable bedrooms and a bathroom.

The dining kitchen is thoughtfully fitted with a range of wall and base units, including pan drawers and pantry cupboards, providing ample storage space. Complementary work surfaces feature an inset sink and a half with drainer, complete with matching splash back. A suite of integrated kitchen appliances includes a fridge, Lamona oven with four-ring hob and extractor over, Lamona microwave, and dishwasher. Two windows offer delightful views across the countryside. Additionally, there is access to the loft space, which offers ample storage and includes three rooms with potential for further development, subject to planning consent.

Step into the characterful living room, where a window with a deep sill frames picturesque views across to the fells. The room features charming exposed beams and a striking fireplace with exposed brick, housing a multi-fuel stove on a stone hearth. This inviting space perfectly blends rustic character with modern comfort.

Further down the landing, you will find Bedroom One and Bedroom Two which are both spacious double bedrooms. Each room enjoys the same breathtaking views across to the fells and comes equipped with useful built-in wardrobes, offering ample hanging space and shelving.

Enter the house bathroom which boasts a three-piece suite: a panel bath, WC and wash hand basin. A practical linen cupboard which houses the hot water cylinder. The bathroom features part-tiled walls, a tiled floor and a window with a deep sill.

Heading outside to the rear garden, you'll find access to the delightful cabin/home office. This versatile eco space is enhanced by the warmth of a log burner, making it perfect for year-round use. The rear garden itself is designed for low maintenance, featuring a flagged patio area bordered by established trees and shrubs. Decorative slate chippings lead to a timber shed. The garden is surrounded by the open countryside, offering a tranquil and picturesque setting.
