Additional Information
The conversion was completed in 1991 with careful attention to the buildings' agricultural origins. Original features retained include exposed ceiling beams and the former barn doorway, complemented by bespoke timber sash windows, handcrafted doors, a turning staircase, wall panelling, fireplaces, timber flooring and traditional column radiators, all made by Peter Thompson of York. During the current ownership, the property has been consistently maintained, with the kitchen and bathrooms updated in recent years.
The principal entrance is on the north elevation, where a glazed front door and full-height glazing illuminate the double-height reception hall. The kitchen/breakfast room has west-facing French doors opening towards the parking area and barns, and includes a central island, breakfast bar, four-oven oil-fired Aga, integrated appliances and space for informal dining. A utility room and pantry adjoin.
Beyond is the galleried dining room with engineered oak flooring, an open fireplace and large glazed barn doors opening onto the south-facing courtyard garden. Double doors connect to the drawing room, creating an entertaining space of around 40 ft when opened. The drawing room features a stone fireplace with wood-burning stove and French doors to the courtyard.
The south wing incorporates the pool house, with a fully glazed elevation and three sets of French doors opening onto the courtyard. It includes a 30 ft heated swimming pool, jacuzzi, seating area suitable for gym equipment, a changing room, shower room with wc and a plant room housing the dedicated boiler.
Attached and occupying the north wing is a one-bedroom annexe that provides self-contained accommodation with its own entrance and enclosed courtyard garden.
The principal bedroom suite occupies the central first-floor landing and includes a bespoke dressing room, separate bathroom and west-facing views. The remaining bedrooms are all doubles and are served by a house bathroom with a walk-in shower, wash basin, wc and heated towel rail.

The gardens include lawns, mature shrubs and trees, and a small orchard. High clipped hedges provide privacy and shelter, while the central courtyard has been landscaped with brick setts, paved terraces, gravelled areas, raised beds, ornamental trees and shrubs.
