Description
Having been lovingly restored and converted in 2015 the barn provides substantial accommodation with over 3,000ft2 of living space over three floors, each enjoying a glimpse of the views and stunning surroundings, including views of Ingleborough to the east. A feature barn door offers a superb welcome to the accommodation which opens to a large kitchen-living area, filled with natural light. Being an ideal family and entertaining space this area has all the charm of its former life, blended seamlessly with a contemporary finish including window seats, exposed beams and feature stonework.
One side of the room features handless cabinetry and granite worktops and to the centre is a breakfast bar area which stands as a focal point and is perfect for both meal preparation and casual dining. Facing the open-plan living and dining area, this is the perfect place to socialise and entertain. With a fully equipped kitchen including integrated microwave, coffee machine, wine fridge and space for range cooker and American fridge-freezer there is everything you need all set within units providing ample storage.
The open space flows into a cosy living area with a wood burning stove set against a feature staircase, with a backdrop of the feature door and stunning views towards Ingleborough. This everyday area also has access to the rear garden for convenience. A large and practical side entrance has ample storage for those coats and boots and is an ideal everyday entrance with a boiler cupboard beyond housing all of the plant for the underfloor heating and solar panels.
There is a separate living room sat off the main living space which has a stunning outlook to the side and bifold doors opening for those summer months. For the cosier evenings this space is equipped as a cinema room with projector and screening.
For those looking to work from home there is a substantial home office complete with fitted units and desks which currently provides desk space for two.
From the office area there is a well-equipped utility space which doubles as a second kitchen with excellent shower room and WC facilities, meaning that those working from home can be completely self-contained. For easy access this space seamlessly links back into the family area, enabling it to be used separately and / or as part of the main home.
The first floor of the barn showcases a space which is filled with natural light. As you ascend, the stunning glazed staircase is a stand-out feature finished with glass and oak detailing, filling this area with natural light and offering a stunning view of Ingleborough. At the heart of this floor is a further living room with a fully glazed wall where floor-to-ceiling windows fill the room with light which not only creates a feeling of space but also offers breath-taking views of the surrounding countryside, making this an ideal sanctuary for relaxation or entertaining.
The principal bedroom suite sits to one side, spanning the full width of the barn, creating an expanse of luxurious bedroom space, with picture windows and door opening to one side. From the bedroom is a dedicated dressing room with ample storage and space for wardrobes and seating. From here a stair leads up to a beautifully designed, fully tiled bathroom complete with free standing bath, fully tiled double walk-in shower, dual sink and WC, all finished to a high standard by locally renowned Aqua Jade bathrooms. There are a further three generously sized bedrooms with fitted furniture, each with their own character including exposed beams. One of the bedrooms has the added benefit of stairs leading to the second floor which provides access to a superb storage space which would be ideal as a teenage room.
These three bedrooms share a highly appointed house bathroom completed by Aqua Jade with modern fixtures including WC, wash hand basin and fully tiled shower cubicle, finished in a contemporary design.
Externally the property is as equally as impressive, with a well-designed garden area immediately surrounding the barn, made up of a substantial lawned area encompassed with stone walling. To the side of the property is a stone flagged raised feature patio area with electric point for hot tub and a feature pergola. This area also offers a garden room which is available by separate negotiation. Past the immediate gardens is a substantial tarmacadam parking area for several vehicles encompassed with stone walling, providing a convenient access to the equestrian yard.
Beyond the house is a yard with the house and grounds sat in just over 1 acre, which is a superb space with an open and well-organised feel, with a practical design for easy movement of both horses and machinery.
A large timber stable block provides 6 spacious stables, 2 being foaling stables, arranged neatly around a concrete yard area. At one end of the stables is a tack room offering ample storage for saddles, bridles and other equipment ensuring everything is easy accessible yet securely stored.
Adjacent to the stables is an all-weather arena, perfect for year-round training and riding. The arena is enclosed with post-and-rail fencing and is finished with a sand and silica surface, being of a high quality and all-weather footing that provides excellent drainage, ensuring it remains useable in all conditions. In addition there is a substantial portal framed general purpose building situated just beyond the yard which offers excellent versatility, ideal for a range of uses such as workshop, storage area or superb lambing shed as it has more recently been used. With excellent access from 3 access points this has been well thought-out with a practical design.
To complete this super lifestyle and equestrian opportunity there is 15.87 acres of productive grassland which wraps around the yard and house, with easy access. The land itself is well fenced for both agricultural and equestrian purposes and is in good heart with the benefit of a mains water supply to all fields. The land is currently split into approximately 7 individual fields with excellent access between these.
Overall this property offers a practical set-up with the beauty of a stunning home, which has been well planned to create both a functional and aesthetically pleasing space, whilst offering alternative and additional uses.
