The Granary, Wilton, Pickering

Charming stone barn conversion in a courtyard setting, close to Thornton le Dale.

Converted around twenty years ago from a mid-nineteenth century stone barn belonging to Manor Farm and very recently updated, The Granary forms one of five freehold homes arranged around an attractive shared courtyard. The house combines the proportions and character of the original agricultural building with a thoughtfully updated interior, creating light and practical living space finished to a high standard. With manageable gardens and generous parking, it is easily maintained and an ideal lock-up-and-leave.

Entrance porch/cloakroom, sitting/dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, separate wc.
Principal bedroom suite, 2 further bedrooms, house bathroom, fully boarded loft
Integral garage, up to 4 parking spaces, log store

Find Out A Little More .... - The Granary has been thoughtfully updated over the past year. A welcoming, light-filled entrance porch provides both a practical boot room and cloakroom, while noise-reducing first-floor windows complement the existing double glazing. In recent years, the kitchen and bathrooms have been replaced, plumbing and wiring renewed, and underfloor heating installed in the kitchen, utility room and bathrooms.

The impressive open-plan living space retains the unmistakable character of its agricultural origins, with substantial exposed timber beams and a trio of striking stone-arched barn windows that dominate one wall. These distinctive openings fill the room with natural light and are beautifully balanced by a dramatic double-height picture window opposite. The sitting area is centred around a substantial fireplace faced in stone and housing a wood-burning stove, while the dining area adjoins the kitchen, with a glazed door opening directly onto the rear terrace.

The kitchen/breakfast room is connected to the garden through a stone-arched doorway opening onto the terrace. Contemporary cabinetry is arranged around a peninsula with breakfast bar and integrated Bosch appliances, including an induction hob. Beyond, the fitted utility room provides additional storage and laundry space, with access to the cloakroom/wc and the integral garage.

A broad turning staircase with a glazed balustrade rises to a bright first-floor landing. All three bedrooms are doubles, one currently arranged as a study. The principal bedroom spans the full depth of the house on a north-south aspect and includes fitted wardrobes, a dressing or seating area, and an en suite bathroom with a bath, shower over and heated towel rail. The family bathroom enjoys south-facing light and is equipped with a corner shower and a bath.

A fully boarded loft, accessed via a drop-down ladder, provides extensive storage with electric lighting and standing room beneath the roof apex.

Outside - The shared paved courtyard provides generous space for access, turning and parking. Two allocated parking spaces are positioned opposite the house, while the integral garage has an electric up-and-over door, power and lighting. Additional parking can be accommodated immediately in front of the property.

To the front, a south-facing paved garden is enclosed by gravel and raised planting, creating a sheltered seating area within the courtyard. A path bordered by a low stone wall leads around the western side of the house to a secure gate into the rear garden.

The rear garden has been landscaped to create a private outdoor space with a lawn surrounded by herbaceous planting including colourful climbers. A paved and gravelled terrace, accessed directly from both the sitting room and kitchen, provides a natural place for outdoor dining and enjoys a sheltered position. The garden is fully enclosed, part-walled and part-fenced with a tall beech hedge lining the front boundary.

The property also benefits from external lighting, two outside taps, two external power sockets and an EV charging point.
