The A66 by-passes the town and gives good access to Penrith and the M6 to the north-west and to Scotch Corner/A1 to the south-east. The M6 can also be accessed at Junction 38 (Tebay).

The barn is being divided and converted by Mr D Murphy and the work designed by Mr A Palmer, local builder and architect respectively. The plans show a simple but nonetheless effective scheme of almost identical but ?handed" (i.e. in reverse of each other) cottages, the outer featuring the original arched barn doorway, both retaining the hay ventilation slot windows and having beams reinstated, to restore as much of the inherent character as possible.

Each will have a flagged terrace/patio at the rear (west facing) and an upper parking bay will be created with private, designated spaces for each cottage.
