Discover a beautiful Grade II listed barn conversion set in the heart of a pretty Yorkshire Dales village. With many period features, this lovely property is bursting with charm and character. It's just the place for a couple looking to explore the stunning countryside, with all the benefits of village amenities on your doorstep.
Dating back to 1791, this historic barn has been transformed into a handsome and comfortable holiday home. It's the perfect mix of old and new, with exposed original beams overhead and underfloor heating underfoot (downstairs and up). This is period living with all the contemporary comforts.
Step inside the barn to discover a dramatic double-height open-plan living space. This stunning room is dominated by a striking arched window which reaches almost to the ceiling. A cosy wood burner and warm oak floorboards underfoot keep everything warm and toasty. Arrive to a generous welcome hamper of freshly baked bread and homemade biscuits among other treats.
The living area offers the choice of two comfy sofas to snuggle up on. Light the fire and settle down for the night with a glass of wine or two. For your evening entertainment, there's a TV with Amazon Fire and Alexa remote. Netflix is also provided so you can catch up on your favourite movies and box sets. Wi-Fi is another addition and there are board games and books to enjoy. Walking guides are available too so you can plan your routes for the week ahead.
Next to the living area within the open-plan space is the start of the kitchen. A long unit here boasts elegant cupboards painted in Farrow and Ball, a sleek granite worktop and a Belfast sink. Coffee lovers will enjoy discovering the coffee machine. This area is perfect for preparing food whilst your loved one keeps you company. Pick up some local produce from the friendly butcher next door, perhaps one of his renowned pies, and rustle up a hearty Yorkshire lunch. The owner will provide you with a complimentary voucher so you can choose what you fancy.
The rest of the kitchen is just behind and offers all the usual mod cons including an induction hob, oven, dishwasher, a fridge with a small freezer compartment, microwave and washing machine. There's also an additional sink in here.
The dining table sits by the large arched window and is bathed in light throughout the day. Take your time and enjoy a long leisurely breakfast here whilst mulling over the morning papers. Holidays are made for this! Downstairs is also home to a wet room with a large walk-in shower. This generous room has floor-to-ceiling tiles and a clean, contemporary look.
The bedroom is upstairs, set in a mezzanine-style floor. This inviting and peaceful space has a double bed and cosy landing area. There's also a handy en-suite WC up here.
Outside to the rear of the barn, guests have access to a small area of an enclosed courtyard, a sheltered space perfect for a spot of al fresco lunch. A patio table and chairs are provided. This courtyard is shared with the owner's property which sits at the rear of the barn. For those of you who enjoy cycling, secure lockable storage is available.
