If you are looking to escape to the country, The Granary, Whenby, could be a dream home.
The property, which is on the market with Blenkin and Co. for £1.25m, is an outstanding period barn conversion in a remarkable and tranquil rural setting. It sits on the brow of a hill and has a glorious outlook across open countryside towards the Howardian Hills.
The re-build and restoration programme on the stone barn has been carried out with skill and the property has over 2,800 sq ft of accommodation arranged over two floors. Original features include exposed beams and trusses, granary steps and restored stonework.
At the heart of Granary Barn is a beautifully landscaped, sunlit garden that evokes a Mediterranean courtyard. Five acres of luxuriant pastureland lie to the front of the property stretching north to the Howardian Hills beyond.
It has an entrance and staircase hall, W.C., drawing room, sitting room, kitchen/dining/living room, pantry, utility/boot room, laundry room, study, principal bedroom suite with dressing room and bathroom and three further bedrooms all with en suite bathrooms.
