Property description

Housetree.co.uk.

Converted by renowned local firm 'Priory Builders' in the early 1990's, these properties of character retain many original features in what are comfortable and easy to manage homes. The original barns were part of Flookburgh Farm and were an extensive range of well-built barns, stables, shippons etc and are architecturally attractive on a grand scale for such a small village. Priory Builders retained the interest and appeal and incorporated a small 'Heritage Centre' into the design as a reminder of the buiding's history. The Heritage Centre is maintained by the Management Company as part of the very low Service Charge - the company consisting of all the individual owners with a managing committee.

This attractive Grade II listed accommodation has a wealth of exposed timbers and character allied to quality fittings which will suit a variety of owners being ideal as a permanent residence, investment/easy to manage or 'lock up and leave'.

This courtyard style barn conversion has character and charm, with views over the surrounding countryside and Morecambe Bay. Accommodation on three main levels.
