This delightful barn conversion sits in the grounds of the owner’s farm surrounded by fields and moorland. It’s the perfect romantic retreat for a couple looking to get away from it all in the beautiful North York Moors with walks from the door. Head out on foot to explore the National Park or wander to the nearby bluebell woods, which are stunning in the spring. The village of Glaisdale is on the Esk Valley walk, a 37-mile route which follows the river Esk from its source high on the Moors all the way to the coast at Whitby (an 8.5-mile walk from the property) – just follow the leaping salmon waymarkers. Go fly-fishing on the river and learn the romantic story of the beggars’ bridge across the river just outside Glaisdale (0.5 miles away), said to have been built by a farmer’s son in the 17th century to reach his sweetheart. Uncover the area’s past at the Cleveland Ironstone Mining Museum (15 miles away) and enjoy a trip to the Museum of Victorian Science where there are often fun and fascinating live demonstrations (0.5 miles away).
Head through the glass front door of this delightful property, into the spacious lounge area with beautiful features including a vaulted, beamed ceiling and Yorkshire stone wall. There’s a comfy leather sofa and armchair to relax on while watching TV or enjoying the view, and a cosy wood burner to snuggle around in the chillier months. This light-filled space also includes a compact and colourful kitchen area and a round dining table and chairs sat next to a charming dresser. There’s also a shower room, with a tiled floor and a double walk-in shower, on the ground floor. Up the stairs, on the mezzanine floor the gorgeous double bedroom. From the bed, you can look out on the traditional A-frame beams and down to the lounge, or out of the window offering wonderful countryside views.
To the front of the property is a patio with a table and chairs, and there’s a fenced-in gravel area at the rear with seating, a BBQ and views of the valley and sweeping countryside - the perfect spot for a romantic evening under the stars.
