Illiwell Lane Barn, Masongill, LA6 3NN

Nestled in a quiet and picturesque hamlet setting, bordering open countryside and enjoying breathtaking panoramic views across the Forest of Bowland to the south west, Morecambe Bay Estuary and the Lakeland Fells to the north west and Ireby Fell to the north from the garden and some of the rooms, Illiwell Lane Barn is a detached stone and slate barn conversion.

The original property was extended a number of years ago by the previous owners to incorporate an adjoining barn. This provides a wonderful first floor sitting/dining room with the most splendid far reaching views, as well as a ground floor en suite bedroom - ideal for visiting guests.

The accommodation is well-proportioned, light and bright with a gross internal area of c. 2247 sq ft (208.7 sq m to include the external store) and a versatile layout which will suit a number of buyers.
