This luxuriously eclectic detached Lakeland barn conversion occupies a sublime setting within gorgeous countryside between Ambleside and Hawkshead, set in beautiful gardens commanding simply breathtaking uninterrupted panoramic views as far as the eye can see.

For a holiday with 'wow factor' - this is a special place and one to spend your precious time together soaking up Lakeland's luxuries. Step inside and take pleasure in the outstanding features echoed throughout, a secluded country Lake District atmosphere blends effortlessly with 21st century life but the views remain exactly the same - walk out onto the glass balcony or admire from the conservatory or every true picture window, here you can't help but fall in love with the setting, but take a breath as these far reaching views are simply to die for!

Leave aside the 'million dollar views and setting' for a moment and wander into the beautiful garden with patios and furniture, what a great place to unwind and enjoy al-fresco Lakeland life. Whether you are celebrating a happy event or just spending time with your favourite people, Birkwray Barn is a magical treat delivering sheer luxury and matching your high expectations. Enjoy the luxury chic bathrooms, sumptuous bedrooms, 21st century kitchen, a dining area fit for any formal gathering complete with doors straight out onto the glass balcony and the relaxing living space with warming woodburner, opening into the balcony; also not missing out the conservatory and all wrapped up in sophisticated technology, are but a few things to mention.

The sleepy hamlet of Outgate is the setting for this delightful barn complete with traditional Lakeland inn serving real ales and tempting bar meals and the famous Drunken Duck inn is less than a mile away, with this location having everything you could wish for where bustling Ambleside and picturesque Hawkshead are but a short distance away.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
