An architect-led barn conversion in the heart of a working farm, Swallow Barn is a bold, beautifully renovated retreat offering a true taste of rural Cumbrian life. Designed with connection and comfort in mind, it blends contemporary design with countryside charm, the kind of place that invites long, lazy breakfasts, evenings on the terrace, and the simple pleasure of watching farm life unfold from your private outdoor seating area. Inside: You enter through the side of the detached barn via a smart lock and porch, perfect for boots, and wet coats. Inside, the space opens up into a sociable open-plan layout with a generous dining table at the centre. There’s a direct door from the dining area out to the seating area, ideal for summer suppers and morning coffee. To your right is the kitchen, sleek, modern, and fully equipped, and beyond that, the sitting room with comfy seating, books, and board games for cosy nights in. Downstairs also includes a modern shower room with WC and a ground floor single bedroom. Two separate staircases lead to the upstairs bedrooms, each with its own ensuite. One has twin beds, the other a king-sized master with a bath, both rooms have lovely natural light, ample storage, and an interconnecting door that can be opened up for families or friends who want to share the space more fluidly. Outside: To the front, your own parking space and EV charger make arrivals easy. There’s external bike storage with a socket for charging e-bikes. To the rear, a lovely enclosed sitting area overlooks the bustle of working farm life, a real slice of the countryside, always changing with the seasons. Location: A car is recommended due to the rural nature of the setting. 🚜Please remember: this is a working farm, the lovely folks who look after it live next door and will be around doing their day-to-day. The barn is fully detached and private, but you’ll likely see some real-life rural action now and then.

About the area

Cumbria, located in the northwest of England, is a region of remarkable natural beauty and rich history, making it a compelling destination for travelers. It is most famous for the Lake District National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which boasts some of the most stunning landscapes in the UK. With its majestic lakes, rugged mountains, and picturesque valleys, the Lake District is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Hiking, climbing, and water sports are popular activities, with Scafell Pike, England's highest mountain, and Lake Windermere, the largest natural lake in England, being particular highlights. Beyond the natural allure, Cumbria is steeped in cultural heritage. The region has inspired poets and writers, most notably William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter, whose homes are now treasured museums. Wordsworth's Dove Cottage and the World of Beatrix Potter attraction offer fascinating insights into the lives of these literary figures. Cumbria's history is also evident in its ancient castles and ruins, such as Carlisle Castle and the remains of Hadrian's Wall, which mark the frontier of the Roman Empire. These sites provide a tangible connection to the past and are a draw for history buffs. The county's coastline is often overlooked but is equally rewarding, with dramatic cliffs, quaint harbors, and sweeping views of the Irish Sea. The coastal towns of Whitehaven and St. Bees are charming spots to explore and enjoy the fresh sea air. Cumbria's culinary scene is another attraction, with local specialties such as Cumberland sausage and Kendal mint cake being must-tries for food lovers. The region also boasts a growing number of microbreweries and distilleries, where visitors can sample locally produced ales and spirits. For those interested in stargazing, the dark skies of the Lake District offer some of the best opportunities in England to observe the stars, with several Dark Sky Discovery Sites designated for their low light pollution. In essence, Cumbria is a destination that offers a rich tapestry of experiences. From the awe-inspiring landscapes of the Lake District to the cultural and historical treasures scattered throughout the region, there is something to captivate every traveler. Whether seeking adventure, relaxation, or a journey through England's past, Cumbria is a place where memories are made.
