This garden, bordered by trees and shrubs, has been dug out to accommodate a terrace with elevated grassed areas.

The barn has an extra garden space to its right that could serve as a large parking area, and a quaint walled garden to the rear left that could be landscaped to create a private space.

Located on the edge of Knipe, at a sheltered position, the barn falls within the Lake District National Park UNESCO World Heritage Site.

It is approximately two miles from Bampton and about four miles from Shap.

Mr Britton said: "Development opportunities within the National Park are very rare, so we are delighted to be marketing this property.
