PAUSE

PLAY

A charming substantial stone-built four bedroom Grade II listed barn conversion enjoying views to the fells and an idyllic waterside setting beside Whit Beck on a tranquil side road in the centre of High Lorton village.

Equally suitable as a primary home, recreational second home or for lucrative holiday letting, this most appealing property was formed from the conversion of the original Jennings brewery stables building dating from circa 1830 and retains its characterful original period features including internal exposed stone walls, exposed beams and vaulted ceilings.

Located approximately eight miles from Keswick and four miles from Cockermouth, High Lorton is situated in the stunning Lorton Valley close to Loweswater, Crummock Water, Buttermere and the Lakeland passes of Whinlatter, Newlands and Honnister. The village amenities include a public house, church, village hall, convenience store and primary school.
