A BEAUTIFUL barn conversion created by award-winning local developer Winter Build has come onto the market in Old Hutton, near Kendal.

Dovestone Cottage, at Low Meadow, has five bedrooms and two reception rooms and has been completely refurbished to a very high standard in the past three years.

The property is described as "exceptionally spacious and well proportioned" by the agent, Scott Bainbridge, with an open-plan living room, kitchen/dining room, separate dining room (which could serve as another sitting room) and cloakroom on the ground floor.

The first floor offers a family bathroom and three bedrooms, all with scenic views over the garden and open countryside beyond; and there are two further bedrooms on the second floor.

Dovestone Cottage offers two private parking spaces, plus extra guest parking in a courtyard, and the front garden has attractive flower borders and lawn.

Inside, features like slate and oak flooring and exposed beams give a characterful feel to the cottage. The kitchen/dining room is a fantastic family space, fitted with solid oak worktops and filled with light thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows.

The reception room looks out over fields and has a welcoming feel thanks to its multi-fuel stove in an inglenook fireplace, with oak beam mantle and slate plinth.

The master bedroom is described as "magnificent" thanks to its high vaulted ceiling with Velux window, built-in wardrobes and beautiful rural views.

The second bedroom, meanwhile, is an "exceptionally large" double with an en-suite shower room, and there is also another en-suite bedroom on the top floor.

The family bathroom has a fresh, modern feel with its fully tiled walls and floors, underfloor heating and four-piece suite comprising a bath with shower mixer, two basins on a wooden vanity unit, a toilet and a chrome towel radiator.
