A GRAVELLED drive lit by traditional lamp posts leads the way to this converted barn near Kirkby Lonsdale.

Cantsfield Grange was designed and built by its owners 25 years yet it offers the charm of a period property, thanks to the reclaimed antique features within.

Sash windows look across to Ingleborough and Whernside, two of the famous Yorkshire Dales Three Peaks. There are beautifully landscaped gardens, a large pond, a stable block and yard, and around six acres of land.

Making up this detached family home are three reception rooms, a dining kitchen and four bedrooms, including an en-suite shower room. The scene is set by a slate-roofed entrance porch, reclaimed wooden door and cast-iron window decoration.

The bright dining hall has deep wooden skirtings, beams and an impressive open fireplace with marble and sandstone surround.

The generously sized lounge has its own ornate marble fireplace with slate hearth, while the formal sitting room is flooded with light from an expanse of full-length, arched windows. Unusually, the fireplace is handmade from an old, ornately carved stone door frame.

The welcoming dining kitchen is in the original barn and features a classic two-door AGA. The inner entrance hall is richly finished in antique wooden panelling and has a wrought-iron staircase and wooden bannister up to a gallery, where a wall of green marble surrounds a stone circle window.

There are three double bedrooms and a good-sized single, plus a family bathroom with marble half-tiling on the walls.
