The Old Stables, a beautifully converted stone barn and stable block dating back to 1746, is located in the charming hamlet of Mansergh, near Kirkby Lonsdale in Lancashire, North England. This detached property, which accommodates up to six guests across three bedrooms, boasts a unique character and thoughtful design that highlights its historical elements. Nestled beside the picturesque Fleshbeck stream, the property offers stunning views of a wooded dell that is vibrant with bluebells in the spring and occasionally frequented by deer, creating a serene and idyllic setting for visitors.
The interior of The Old Stables is designed with an upside-down layout, maximizing the breathtaking views and showcasing the original exposed timber beams. The conversion has been executed to the highest standards, featuring solid oak floors in the upstairs living area and underfloor heating throughout the property. This combination of modern comfort and rustic charm makes the cottage a warm and welcoming retreat, suitable for guests at any time of the year.
The open-plan living area is a highlight of the property, featuring French doors that lead out to a small balcony, allowing guests to enjoy the fresh air and scenic surroundings. The garden area, complemented by the nearby woods, provides a perfect spot for relaxation and connection with nature. The thoughtful design ensures that guests can enjoy both comfort and the beauty of the outdoors during their stay.
For those traveling with friends or family, The Old Stables is conveniently located near other properties, allowing for larger groups to holiday together, as it shares proximity with two additional cottages that can accommodate a total of 22 guests. This makes it an ideal choice for gatherings or family reunions, while still offering the privacy and charm of a standalone retreat in the heart of the North of England.
