GUIDE PRICE: £495,000

Traditionally constructed in random Yorkshire stonework and possibly dating back in excess of 250 years, this imposing property has been converted from an old period cottage and an adjoining barn as the name suggests, to create a remarkably spacious 4 bedroom house of real quality and substance which combines a very fine blend of beamed ceilings and original exposed stonework with the more modern comforts of oil fired central heating, full double glazing and an attractive oak kitchen which includes built in appliances, granite worktops and a superb oil fired Aga cooker.

Enjoying pleasant long distance views from both elevations and having the benefit of excellent on-site parking, a detached garage and workshop and attractive landscape gardens, the property adjoins open fields amidst rolling Dales countryside and is handily placed within 6 minutes drive of the historic market town of Skipton and less than 2 minutes away from the acclaimed Angel Inn in nearby Hetton.
