A delightful, barn conversion all full of character
providing two good reception rooms, large family kitchen, three bedrooms,
bathroom and shower room all centrally heated and double glazed and with garage and charming gardens and wooded grounds outside situated in this peaceful and yet conveniently located hamlet.
Drybeck is a peaceful farming and residential hamlet located in a small valley amidst some glorious, unspoilt countryside. It lies just over a mile from the B6260 which links Appleby (five miles to the north) and Tebay / M6 (around nine miles to the south). Appleby caters well for everyday needs with primary and secondary schools, churches, excellent sports facilities (golf, cricket, soccer, swimming and bowls), varied shops and tourist attractions and a railway station on the scenic Carlisle to Settle line. Carlisle and Kendal are both within commuting distance.
The barn was converted some years ago and adjoins its original small 18th Century farmhouse. The present vendors have been in occupation since 2002 and have transformed not only much of the original works with a fully refurbished kitchen, brand new ground floor shower room, general redecoration and extensive restocking and landscaping work in the gardens and grounds. The whole property extends to approximately 0.75 acre and the sheltered grounds support an abundance of wildlife.
An inspection of this most interesting property is thoroughly recommended.
