If you want an escape to the country, then take a look at Thompson Fold, a charming development of Grade II-listed barn conversions.

Three homes are now available on a traditional farmsteading in a small village with some lovely countryside views which although in a rural location, is nevertheless well placed for travel to the popular market town of Kirkby Lonsdale and the M6.

Each of the three properties, which are presented in a terrace, has been finished to a very high standard with parking for four cars and lovely outside space.

The end terrace is No 4 which has spacious accommodation with a flexible layout.

A large dual-aspect sitting room with double open doors out to the terrace while a second reception room could be used as a playroom, dining room, office or a fifth bedroom.

The dining kitchen has integral appliances and one of the two en-suite double bedrooms on the first floor has external access.

The remaining two double bedrooms with shower room are on the second floor.

The most recently converted of the Thompson Fold homes is No 3 which has contemporary fixtures and fittings and well-planned accommodation.

This includes a dining kitchen with cream Shaker-style units and integrated appliances and an L-shaped sitting room.

Upstairs, set over two floors, are four bedrooms, two shower rooms and a bathroom.

There is also great eaves storage.

Finally, No 2 Thompson Fold, finished a couple of years ago, is exceptionally spacious.

There is a large sitting room with double doors out to a terrace, dining room and fitted kitchen.

On the first floor are four double bedrooms, two en-suites, and a house bathroom and the top floor has another two double bedrooms and a shower room.

The three barn conversions in Thompson Fold, Lupton, near Kirkby Lonsdale, are for sale at prices starting from £390,000 through Davis and Bowring, tel. 015242 74445.
