Description

This detached stone and slate barn conversion provides approximately 1,598 sq ft of accommodation, with three double bedrooms and character features. The ground floor includes a front vestibule opening to a conservatory, which connects to the open-plan living and dining kitchen through glazed bi-fold doors. The kitchen has fitted wall and base units, a breakfast bar, a three-oven Aga and an integrated dishwasher. A separate dual-aspect sitting room has a wood-burning stove, while a rear vestibule leads to a cloakroom and laundry room. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a four-piece bathroom. The enclosed walled garden includes a level lawn, flagged paths, seating terraces, a timber shed and a log store. The owners have parked two cars on an area to the rear, but the listing notes this land is not included in the property ownership. A small area beside the house is also described. The vendors had considered a workshop with an annexe above, subject to the relevant consents; planning feasibility would need to be verified. The sitting room has recently been re-plastered and is ready for decoration, offering scope for a buyer to update the finish. Ireby is a rural hamlet close to the A65, with village facilities in Cowan Bridge and Burton-in-Lonsdale and a wider range in Ingleton and Kirkby Lonsdale. The property is within reach of the Yorkshire Dales, the Lake District and the Lune Valley.

71out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £395,000, Ireby Barn is priced at £247 per sq ft, around 15% below the local average—a strong entry point for a detached stone barn conversion with character, a sociable open-plan living and kitchen area, and an enclosed walled garden. The house appears broadly usable and well maintained, so the opportunity is a light, tailored refresh rather than a major overhaul.

The clearest scope is to finish decorating the recently re-plastered sitting room and, if desired, update the bathroom’s older styling. The garden and the vendors’ idea for a workshop with annexe above add interest, though any such plans would depend on securing the relevant consents.

Key opportunities

  • Finish and personalise the sitting room, where the walls have recently been re-plastered ready for decoration.
  • Make the most of the character features, sociable open-plan living and kitchen area, and enclosed walled garden.
  • Explore the vendors’ workshop-with-annexe concept, subject to checking planning and other relevant consents.
