Windrush, Swineside, Leyburn

Windrush is a most attractive, detached farmhouse which is beautifully situated within the rural hamlet of Swineside. The property is in excellent order and retains a wealth of character features including ceiling beams, stone flagged floors, fireplaces and window shutters. The property offers spacious, flexible accommodation which is well presented and would suit a number of buyers. 

The property is entered into via a useful front porch which leads into the kitchen diner which has a stone flagged floor and a beamed ceiling. The dining area has an impressive stone fireplace housing a multi-fuel stove and leads into the traditional kitchen which features a range of Oak fitted units which are complemented by granite worktops, a cream Aga and a Belfast sink. Steps lead down into the garden room which has a tiled floor with underfloor heating and provides access to the gardens with views of the hills beyond. 

Just off the kitchen is a traditional utility/pantry which has stone shelves and is plumbed for a washing machine. This leads through into a cosy snug with a stone feature fireplace and a door leading out to the gardens, and a home office with stairway up to two of the bedrooms and a shower room. 

Completing the ground floor is the living room which has a beamed ceiling, alcove with shelving and a window to the front with window seat together with a stone, open fireplace. 

To the first floor there are a total of five bedrooms which are accessed via two staircases. Three of the double bedrooms are accessed via the main stairway and enjoy stunning views of Coverdale. There is a house bathroom which has a WC, basin, shower cubicle and a corner bath and the two further bedrooms have use of a well-equipped shower room. These rooms could be configured to provide self-contained accommodation for multi-generational living. 

Externally the property is complemented by delightful gardens at the rear which are mostly laid to lawn with a large specimen tree making a pleasant feature. There is a gravelled patio area and an enclosed wildflower patch to the side with a further area of lawn and a useful garden store. 

To the side of the property is a detached barn with lean to which has previously benefitted from Planning Permission for conversion into ancillary accommodation. Whilst it has lapsed, a recent pre-planning application supported conversion to a holiday let or ancillary accommodation. There is also a garage with parking for two vehicles together with a car port and ample parking on the cobbled driveway. 

Overall, Windrush offers an excellent opportunity to own a rural home with large gardens and a barn with potential. An early viewing is advised.
