House
Description
A truly distinctive four bedroom barn conversion with a self contained one bedroom annex, gardens, parking and excellent income potential, set within this popular development of converted barns on the edge of St Bees village.
Offering a wonderfully flexible layout, this impressive home combines character, space and versatility with the increasingly desirable benefit of a completely self-contained one bedroom annex, currently successfully utilised as an Airbnb. The annex has its own entrance, living area, shower room and first floor bedroom, whilst also having an internal connecting door to the main house. This provides an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking additional income, accommodation for a dependent relative, a guest suite or simply the flexibility to incorporate the space back into the main home if required. The main property itself offers a welcoming entrance hall, generous lounge with patio doors opening onto the garden, separate dining room/office and, at the heart of the home, a superb social kitchen/dining/living space with further patio doors leading outside. A ground-floor WC completes the main accommodation.
To the first floor are four excellent sized bedrooms, served by both a family bathroom and separate shower room, positioned either side of the particularly spacious landing. Externally, the property is equally impressive and retains two distinctive feature arches to the front. The covered entrance area beneath the arches provides access to the main house, annex and a large integral workshop, which in turn has direct access into the kitchen and an electrically operated door to the front, offering the potential to park a vehicle within. There is also further private parking directly in front of the property for two cars. To the rear is a pleasant walled garden with areas of lawn and patio, together with a gate providing access onto Abbey Road. Solar panels are also installed, adding further appeal to this already versatile and characterful home.
Perfectly suited to modern family life, multi-generational living, relocation or buyers looking for a property with the ability to generate an additional income, this is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a substantial home in a sought after village setting. St Bees offers the best of village and coastal living, with the popular local schools, railway station, village amenities and pubs all within easy reach, whilst Whitehaven and major employment centres along the West Coast are readily accessible. Quite simply, a wonderful family home with character, flexibility and income potential, in a location that is hard to beat. Viewing is highly recommended.
