The property

Shepherds Barn is a superb, pet-friendly retreat situated just a short distance from the heart of Lancaster.

Positioned on the fringes of the charming Forest of Bowland AONB, this generously sized barn conversion has been thoughtfully designed for groups of couples, families and friends, combining space and practicality with a refined sense of style, making it an ideal base for a relaxing countryside escape.

As you step inside, you will notice how original features have been carefully paired with tasteful furnishings and modern appliances, creating a welcoming setting for unwinding at the end of the day.

Move through to the sitting and dining area, where the traditional oil-fired AGA forms the heart of the space, perfect for preparing comforting home-cooked meals.

A more informal dining table in the kitchen caters to everyday moments, while the separate dining room provides an inviting setting for shared meals and planning the adventures ahead.

When the evening draws in, settle into the corner sofa, switch on the gas fire and enjoy a film or two on the TV before calling it a night.

The ground floor hosts a well-presented king-size bedroom, complete with a spacious walk-in wardrobe and a stylish en-suite featuring a freestanding bath, offering a restful space for couples.

Upstairs, two further bedrooms include a double with en-suite facilities and a twin, also with its own en-suite, both enjoying far-reaching views across the surrounding Forest of Bowland landscape.

With the owner carrying on a long-standing tradition of sheep dog training across the grounds, the surrounding landscape feels truly rooted in rural life.

Beyond the property, Lancaster offers a wide range of amenities to suit all preferences, from elegant restaurants and cosy bistros to convenient takeaway options.

Explore the city’s heritage with a visit to the historic Lancaster Castle, the Priory Church, or a stroll through the scenic Williamson Park.

A little further afield, the shores of Morecambe Bay await, while the vibrant seaside town of Blackpool makes for a memorable day out.

For those seeking outdoor adventure, the Forest of Bowland provides an abundance of walking and cycling routes set against striking rural scenery.

Shepherds Barn is a wonderful choice for bringing loved ones together in a peaceful and picturesque setting.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

About the location

LANCASTER

Morecambe 3 miles; Windermere 30 miles; Blackpool 37 miles.

The historic city of Lancaster sits on edge of Morecambe Bay, the sea is barely 3 miles away. Equally, Lancaster is perfect if you’re looking to explore the Lake District, Windermere is just 30 miles away.

The tidal River Lune flows through the city and St George’s Quay, with its elegant Georgian warehouses standing eave to eave on the riverfront, is considered to be the finest example of an original 18th Century port anywhere in the country.

Indeed, Lancaster retains many examples of handsome Georgian architecture and the area around the castle, particularly Castle Hill, Castle Park and Nip Hill are considered its most alluring quarter.

Lancaster’s skyline is dominated by the Ashton Memorial, made of white Portland stone and dedicated to the second wife of millionaire industrialist, Lord Ashton, it’s built in Neo-Baroque style and affords spectacular views of Morecambe bay from its hilltop location in Williamson Park, open-air concerts are held throughout the summer in the park.

Foremost among Lancaster’s clutch of museums, the Maritime Museum is the place to get to grips with Lancaster’s role in the unsavoury slave trade, behind only London, Bristol and Liverpool, Lancaster was the fourth largest city engaged in the 18th Century trade of African slaves across the Atlantic.

In addition to the Lake District, some of northern England’s greatest scenery is right on your doorstep: the Forest of Bowland, the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the Arnside & Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, all easily accessible, offer the perfect opportunity to discover nature in the raw. And don’t forget, Lancaster’s location on the West Coast Mainline, means there are direct trains to all parts of the country.
