Description

White House Barn sits in a quiet position in the beautiful village of Cracoe, in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. This immaculate barn conversion stands in an impressive plot with panoramic views across the beautiful garden and surrounding countryside.

First developed in 1999, the current owners have sympathetically extended and improved the property to create a well presented five bedroom home. The property has a contemporary feel whilst still maintaining plenty of character with wooden beams, Indian stone flagged flooring, oak floorboards and a striking stone fireplace.

Extending to over 2,300 square feet, the accommodation flows particularly well with large spacious rooms arranged over three floors. The ground floor has been extended into the original garage to create an impressive 23 foot sitting room which flows into the dining room, with bi-folding doors opening to the garden, and a shared double sided wood burning stove. Both rooms have the benefit of dual aspects windows, creating bright rooms with attractive aspects.

The kitchen is fitted with wooden units, granite worktops and built in appliances, a large electric range oven and space for a kitchen table. Continuing through the ground floor there is a separate utility room, WC and bedroom five, ideally for guests or as a study/ playroom.

The first floor is home to the well appointed house bathroom, a study fitted with built in solid wood furniture and two double bedrooms. The impressive principal bedroom suite benefits from a dressing room and en suite bathroom. Both rooms have fitted wardrobes. Bedrooms three and four can be found on the second floor, both spacious rooms with Velux windows, ideally suited for guests or teenage children.

The property is equally as impressive externally, with beautifully designed, tranquil gardens including a large stone paved patio area leading to a large lawned area with well planted borders, mature trees and shrubs.

There is a detached garage to the side with a store behind and parking space in front.

- An additional parcel of meadow dotted with fruit trees adjoining the current garden is available by separate negotiation. This has been thoughtfully designed and maintained by the current vendors as a natural wildlife garden, dissected by a series of ponds fed by a natural spring -
