Lilac Barn is a beautifully renovated ground-floor barn conversion situated in Penrith, Cumbria, within a private gravel courtyard on a historic 17th Century farmstead. Designed with accessibility in mind, this charming accommodation comfortably sleeps four guests in two well-appointed bedrooms. Its prime location near the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty makes it an ideal base for exploring the stunning landscapes of the Lake District and Eden Valley, perfect for family or friends seeking a countryside getaway.
Upon entering Lilac Barn, guests are welcomed into a spacious and cozy open-plan kitchen and living area, complete with modern appliances and a stylish decor featuring restored antiques. The kitchen is equipped for all culinary needs, including a washer/dryer for longer stays, while the living space boasts comfortable sofas, a Smart TV, and a cast iron electric stove that enhances the inviting atmosphere. The dining area accommodates four, making it a perfect spot for shared meals and gatherings.
The two bedrooms are thoughtfully designed, with one featuring an en-suite bathroom and both adorned with calming sage and grey tones. The large wet room is equipped with discreet support features, ensuring a comfortable experience for all guests. High-quality bedding and towels add a touch of luxury, while the Welcome to Lilac Barn Handbook provides essential information for a seamless stay. Guests are also treated to a welcome pack filled with local delicacies and provisions, including treats for any accompanying dogs, ensuring everyone feels at home.
Outside, the property offers a shared gravel courtyard with parking for two cars and a picnic area, ideal for barbecues. While the property welcomes up to two well-behaved dogs for a small fee, it is important to note that there is no private garden, and the courtyard is shared with other residents. Guests are advised to keep dogs on leads due to the proximity of the A6 road. With its blend of modern amenities and charming country aesthetics, Lilac Barn provides a delightful retreat in a picturesque setting, close to attractions like the Lake District National Park and Yorkshire Dales National Park.
