Welcome to BEAN FIELDS 625,000 Lawkland Green Farm, Lawkland, LA2 8AT It's not often that a newly converted barn of such quality comes to the open market. Great care and attention has been taken to create a house which offers not only good space (245 sq m [2637 sq ft]) and a great layout but a high standard of finish especially in the kitchen and bathroom fittings and a private edge of hamlet setting. The house sits in a west facing position with windows designed to make the most of the unspoiled country views across the parkland to the trees beyond. Detached, it sits at the end of a private lane (which then continues to a public footpath, so an excellent spot for donning your boots and setting out on a walk straight from the house) set off the main thoroughfare which is central to Lawkland. Lawkland is a small and attractive hamlet offering the peace and quiet we often crave without being inaccessible. There are several access points onto the A65 so it's a great spot for commuters seeking a haven. Travelling from Kirkby Lonsdale, turn right signposted Lawkland opposite the second turning into Austwick. Continue for 1.4 miles and turn right onto a private track before Lawkland Green Farm. Bean Fields is the second barn on the right.
It s all in the detail From outside you'll already start to notice the difference, the roof has been laid using diminishing slate courses, not often done these days but this traditional slating method looks so much better, the windows and external doors are powder coated aluminium in a smart dark grey colour and come with a 20 year guarantee (just think, no external decoration for 20 years!!). Inside the standard of finish is also above expectation, there's a Herdwick pure wool carpet in the sitting room, study, hall, staircase and landing with co-ordinating good quality carpets in the bedrooms. The kitchen has hardwearing Distinctive Flooring which will look good for many years to come. The bath and shower rooms have either Distinctive Flooring or non-slip tiles. There are oak internal doors and the walls have been emulsioned in off white and neutral tones. Very often these days the kitchen is where we spend our time, at Bean Fields the kitchen doesn't disappoint, handmade and handpainted tulip wood with Silestone worktops. There's a pantry cupboard, a breakfast station, an island unit, special cabinetry designed for cutlery, spices, wine and, possibly not so exciting, but it will keep it neatly out of sight, the bin! As well as the traditional style Rangemaster Elan dual fuel stove there's an integral NEFF dishwasher, a fridge and separate freezer. The utility room is also well fitted with plumbing for a washing machine and space for storage for coats and boots. All of the bedrooms are doubles, two to the ground floor and two to the first floor, offering the potential for single level living with guests or children on the upper floor. All four bedrooms have ensuites with the ground floor bathroom having a door to the passageway so it can be used by guests without having to go through a bedroom. The split level landing offers some bonus space with room for a desk or comfy chair and a bookcase. Never lose track of what you've got tucked away, one of the first floor bedrooms has a great eaves cupboard with automatic light for easily accessible and visible storage. All mod cons There is air source heating from a Nibe air pump discretely situated in the garden which is hidden from view along with the LPG tank for the Rangemaster stove. The central heating is all underfloor on the ground floor which gives you flexibility over where to position your furniture. All rooms are also thermostatically controlled. Insulation is over and above expectations so this will be a warm house and one that is hopefully not only a joy to live in, but also more economical to run! Complementing this is mains electric and water and a sole user septic tank in the front field. An integral part of country living is curling up in front of a real fire and so here a Firegen multi-fuel stove has been provided, set within an impressive stone surround. To reduce daily operating costs, all of the light bulbs are LED with the exception of the feature lights. There's also a security alarm for peace of mind with control panels whether you choose to come in through either of the main doors. There are TV and data points in all main rooms, power sockets in the garden and the house is wired for B4RN broadband both in the house and in the outhouse/potential home office (for those of you not familiar with this fantastic local service see the B4RN website for more information, it's a service offering 1000Mbps (1Gbps) this means that every member of your household can use fast broadband simultaneously without frustration). B4RN broadband also offers unlimited bandwidth (the amount you can download or upload) so whether you are looking to work from home or just have a life where this is an integral part of everyday, the service won't disappoint.
Outdoors and more The garden has been laid with a terrace of flagstones leading out from the dining kitchen through the bi-folding doors. The view from the terrace is great - this is going to make a super spot for barbecuing and outside entertaining. The garden is partly laid to lawn with a large bed ready for planting. It is bordered by a stone wall onto the field with a low stone wall with railings and gate onto the parking area with space for 3 or 4 cars. There's also use of the lane with permission for further parking along the stone wall. The outbuilding (29.6 sq m [319 sq ft]) is a great bonus. a real 'anything' space; garden store, office, workshop or studio, it's up to you. There's power, light and the plumbing ready for there to be an outside loo. The vendor is happy to talk about finishing it off to your specification if you are looking at a home office, it's all for negotiation.
