Description
Ingleborough View Barn is an excellent example of a well-appointed contemporary barn conversion with modern equestrian facilities. The barn was converted approximately ten years ago and retains much of the original stone façade with slate roof. The interior in contrast is an impressive example of modern design enhancing the pre-existing footprint to form a comfortable, well-proportioned house. The equestrian facilities adjacent include an ‘all-weather’ arena, stabling block and expansive general purpose building, ideally suited to those in search of a lifestyle property with a manageable amount of land. Approximately 16 acres of amenity grassland surrounds the property.

Situated in close proximity to the Pennines and Yorkshire Dales National Park, the property is surrounded by wonderful upland country that typifies the area and presents a tranquil background.

Ingleborough View Barn is a versatile property that lends itself to a variety of uses, including equestrian, amenity or other rural enterprise. The functionality of the property together with comfort and modernity represent a rare opportunity.

Ingleborough View Barn
The property sits on the southern fringe of the hamlet of Westhouse in close proximity to Ingleborough and Ribblehead Viaduct on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales.

The main house was renovated circa 2015 to an impressive standard and over the years has been consolidated with the acquisition of the neighbouring land and the addition of the equestrian arena and general purpose building.

The property is approached by a gated tarmac drive which leads to a hard standing parking area east of the house. The house has been sympathetically renovated and arranged over three floors, sitting in an elevated, east facing position extending to over 3,000 sq ft.

The ground floor accommodation comprises an expansive open plan kitchen with fitted Quooker tap offering sparkling, chilled or boiling water, integrated Miele coffee machine, Smeg double American fridge and separate under counter wine chiller; followed by reception room with statement log burner, part of this room is double height with a large glazed former barn entrance. Adjacent is a cinema room leading to office and separate entrance, boot room, boiler room housing the ground source heat pump, utility room and downstairs shower room with WC and sink. Ample storage is fitted throughout with stone flag floors and under floor heating in all rooms.

The first floor includes a mezzanine landing, five double bedrooms and family bathroom with bath, WC and sink. The principal bedroom benefits from a private dressing room from which a staircase ascends to the ensuite bathroom with shower, bath, WC and double sink and additional store room. There is a second bedroom to an upper level which could be used as a dressing room or private suite, providing ample storage. Both bathrooms are fitted with tile TVs and the property has an integrated Smart Homes System by Lutron throughout which operates the lights, blinds and keypads etc.

A south facing terrace, covered seating area and lawn sit adjacent to the property together with a timber built summerhouse housing an indoor bar and entertaining area. West of the house is a second decked terrace. An electric point for hot tub is also available.

The house is heated by a Ground Source heat pump and subsidised by Photovoltaic solar panels to the roof space generating £250+ per quarter.

Equestrian Facilities and Building
A well-appointed timber built stable block arranged in a horseshoe format lies southwest of the property housing three horse boxes, tack room fitted with WC and sink, hay room and work shop.

To the rear of the stable block lies a substantial ‘all weather’ arena with rubber and sand surface, flood lit for all year round use. A storage container providing for additional storage sits adjacent, screened from the house by the stables. A substantial modern farm building lies southwest of the house and provides a generous space for multi-purpose use. The building is of steel portal frame construction with steel profile roof and cladding with a concrete floor. There is a segmented small kitchen area including sink. The building is supplied with water and electricity and is currently used for lambing and general storage. It could easily be re-purposed for alternative livestock accommodation or additional stabling/equine use.

South of the equestrian facilities and farm building is a muck midden and further hard standing area providing good access and parking for large vehicles, machinery or loading.

CCTV surveillance is fitted to the stable block and farm building.

Land
The land comprises 15.43 acres of amenity grassland broadly divided into 8 parcels. Currently used as pony paddocks and sheep grazing, the land is of a manageable size and bound by dry stone walls and stock proof fencing. Much of the land lies to the east and south of the property and is bordered by open fields and undulating countryside. All parcels are supplied with water and the land is classified Grade 3 under the Agricultural Land Classification, lying approximately 130 to 135 metres above sea level.
