"A remarkable conversion delivering exceptional energy efficiency in a beautiful rural location"
The Property
Raven House is a striking conversion of a former Dutch barn, now a sleek and energy-efficient modern home surrounded by beautiful countryside near the Lake District National Park. Designed by award-winning architects and built by local craftsmen, it features bold contemporary design and an exceptional specification. High levels of insulation, VELFAC triple glazing and next-generation solar panels with smart controls contribute to its impressive eco credentials.
A generous covered parking area leads to the outstanding open-plan living space, where clean lines and a flowing layout create a bright, modern atmosphere. The kitchen is fitted with sleek white cabinetry, Silestone quartz surfaces, an integrated sink and Bosch appliances including an induction hob, twin ovens, dishwasher and twin fridge freezers. Porcelain flooring continues through the dining and sitting areas, where large sliding doors open onto the patio, perfect for indoor/outdoor living. Just off the kitchen is a well-equipped utility with storage, sink, and space for laundry appliances, as well as housing the OSO 250-litre hot water cylinder.
The ground floor includes a double bedroom with a fitted wardrobe, served by a stylish shower room with underfloor heating. A further room, currently used as a snug with a concealed office, could easily become a fourth bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe. This room also has external access and benefits from ultrafast broadband, ideal for home working.
Upstairs, the high vaulted ceilings echo the original barn’s curved form. There are two further spacious bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes, and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom enjoys views towards Caldbeck, while the other faces Saddleback in the distance.
Externally
Raven House is accessed via a tarmacadam driveway leading to the covered parking and entrance area, complete with lighting, power, automatic dusk-to-dawn illumination, and provision for electric gates and a vehicle charging point.
To the rear, the enclosed garden has been landscaped for low maintenance, with an Italian porcelain patio spanning the width of the house, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. Steps rise to a neatly kept lawn bordered by a mix of fencing, hedging, and colourful planting.
