Towerhill Barn is a Grade II-listed barn conversion in Castle Carrock, Cumbria, sitting on the edge of the North Pennines National Landscape. The upside-down layout puts the living spaces on the first floor to make the most of sweeping views across Castle Carrock Reservoir towards Carlisle and the Solway Firth.
