Garden 3 is privately situated behind the Double Garage with lots of herbaceous plantings, productive Apple tree, Summer House and fabulous Garden Studio/Home Office?. This 'room' is superb with power, light, heating and even an air conditioning unit (although this may need a service having never actually being used). This Garden is incredibly private and enjoys lovely views towards Bardsea Beach. Finally is the lovely, sunny, south facing Courtyard style area situated right outside the Lounge.

Location Bardsea is a small, well located coastal village 2 miles south of the pretty market town of Ulverston on the northern coast of Morecambe Bay. This charming, highly regarded village has a choice of 2 Public Houses, attractive Church and a thriving Village Hall, once the Malt Kiln. Fantastic walks from 2 Bracken Barn are just one of the excellent pluses, literally a hop skip and a jump away from Bardsea Beach and a slightly longer walk in the other direction is the wonderful Birkrigg Common with prehistoric stone circle and wonderful views.
The closest town of Ulverston with its pretty cobbled streets, indoor and outdoor market is within walking distance at 2 miles and has a wide range of amenities including Schools, Doctors Surgeries, Railway Station, Post Office, Shops, Public Houses, Art Deco Cinema and Restaurants to name a few. The beautiful Manjushri Centre at Conishead Priory is even closer.
To reach the property from Ulverston go straight over at Booths Rounabout in the direction of Barrow in Furness and take the 2nd left turn on to Quebec Street. Follow this road for 1 mile, through part of the town to the 'Coast Road'. Just after the Manjushri Centre on the left hand side turn right into the Village. Follow this road in to the centre of Bardsea and bear right, go past the Village Hall and keep left. 2 Bracken Barn is shortly on the left hand side.
