West Barn is a lovely detached barn conversion that has been imaginatively designed by combining two properties into one, seamlessly creating a fantastic family home. The original conversion was carried out in 2002 and the two properties were integrated in 2008. Both were sympathetically carried out to retain the charming features expected of a barn conversion including arched windows, stone fireplaces housing homely multi-fuel stoves and exposed wooden ceiling beams. The property offers two reception rooms and a fantastic l-Shaped kitchen dining and living area with direct access to the rear patio and garden. The first floor is deceptively spacious with high vaulted ceilings allowing for bright and airy rooms. There are a total of five bedrooms, four double and a single, of which the master suite includes a dressing room and ensuite shower room. Externally, there is private parking for up to three vehicles and a single detached stone built garage. The neatly kept garden includes a lawn area and flagged stone patio which is great for alfresco dining during the summer months.
Wray is a quaint countryside village located in the Lune Valley within the Forest of Bowland, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. West Barn enjoys a central village location, just a short stroll away from the local primary school, post office and popular pub. There is also a local shop, tea room and garden centre nearby and a good selection of secondary schooling that includes the Queen Elizabeth School in Kirkby Lonsdale and the Boys' and Girls' Grammar Schools in Lancaster.
