3 Bedroom Barn Conversion

Looks Like A Cute Little Cottage, Lives Like A Much Bigger Family Home. Inside you’ll find three floors of beams, stone fireplaces and warm, welcoming living spaces. At the back, a large garden stretches towards open fields and long countryside views.

Appearances really can be deceptive. From the leafy lane this late 1990’s barn conversion looks like a traditional stone cottage - and a small one at that. But the space and layout inside tells a very different story.

The first pleasant surprise is that it’s set across three floors rather than two. There’s nearly 1,900 sq ft of living and bedroom space set across the three storeys, which have been carefully looked after and loved by the same owner for 27 years. 

It combines traditional charm with the kind of space and flexibility that makes everyday family life easy.

The main L-shaped living room and dining room sits on the ground floor and immediately sets the tone. Exposed beams run across the ceiling and a beautiful stone fireplace creates a natural focal point.

Downstairs, the lower ground floor reveals another surprise. You come down the stairs into a second reception room that provides a cosy alternative living space, complete with a gas stove effect fire and a large picture window framing the back garden.

This level also includes the kitchen, a large utility room and a handy WC. 

The kitchen has a traditional country style that suits the house perfectly. Wooden cabinetry, solid worktops and a range cooker set within a stone arch give the room natural warmth and character.

There is plenty of space for cooking and preparing meals, with room to gather around the breakfast bar while dinner is being made. Just beside it, the large utility room keeps the practical side of life neatly out of sight.

The first floor has three bedrooms. Each one has its own character, with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams that remind you of the building’s original agricultural roots.

The main bedroom is a generous double and benefits from its own ensuite shower room. The remaining two bedrooms are also comfortable doubles, offering flexibility for family, guests or a home office.

The main bathroom sits on the ground floor and continues the traditional feel of the house, with a classic suite that suits the style of the property - but equally could be transformed into something special, stylish and luxurious.

Behind the house is a neat paved terrace and beyond that a large garden with lawn, mature planting and plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors. You have to cross a small patch of lawn owned by the neighbours to get to it…but the’re a friendly bunch…

From here the view stretches out towards open fields and countryside beyond. It creates a sense of peace and openness that is rare to find so close to village life.

There is also a greenhouse, garden pond and plenty of room for keen gardeners to make the space their own. Children will love the space to play, while adults will appreciate the privacy and the views.

Practical features include a garage with power and lighting (it could be perfect as a workshop), along with parking at both the front and back. 

Sunnyside is a quiet lane on the edge of Seaton but it’s only 2 minutes in the car or a 10 minute walk to the centre of the village where you’ll find everything you need day-to-day - a choice of shops, pubs, takeaways along with the primary school and village hall.

And when you want more choice, you can drive to Workington town centre in less than 10 minutes. 

It’s easy to see why the current owner has stayed here for so long. Now it’s the chance for your family to make it your own. 

I’m expecting plenty of interest so get in touch to arrange a private viewing.
