A STUNNING BARN CONVERSION IN A TRANQUIL LOCATION ADJOINING MOORLANDS NATURE RESERVE
York City Centre 6 Miles York Railway Station 6 1/2. Miles Leeds 30 Miles
Description
A rare opportunity to purchase a stunning barn conversion extensively, but sympathetically, modernised by the present owner in recent years. The property has been finished to an exceptionally high standard and has a wealth of period features including oak beams, doors and casings, exposed brickwork and reclaimed wood flooring. The heart of the house is the light and spacious Dining Kitchen with contemporary units, central island and comprehensive range of integral appliances. From here a doorway opens into the Living Room with antique wood floor, wood burning stove and windows to two elevations. A further doorway leads into the original third double bedroom that is currently used as a Dining Room.Returning to the Kitchen, glazed doors open to the front and rear gardens and an opening leads into the inner hall. Here there is access to the Master Bedroom with En Suite Shower Room (with recently fitted contemporary white suite and walk in shower) and the second double bedroom. The final door leads to the House Bathroom that has been beautifully refitted with a contemporary suite including a freestanding limestone bath.Externally, the barn is approached via a sweeping driveway leading to a five bar gate giving access to the gardens and grounds (totalling approximately 1/3rd.acre.) At the front of the property is a pathway flanked by well-stocked borders whilst to the rear the gardens have been gravelled for ease of maintenance and include a shallow ornamental pond.A gravel driveway provides ample parking and leads to a Double Garage. Planning permission has been granted for the conversion of part of the garage into further dwelling accommodation if required.

Standing in the former grounds of Moorlands Hall the property adjoins the Moorlands Nature Reserve which is managed by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust.A wide range of local shops and services are within 10 minutes drive away and there is easy access to the York Outer Ring Road.
What The Seller Says
\"It was 6am on a very cold morning in late February 2010. I was just about to start refurbishing the lounge floor. The amount of work required to renovate The Stables was a daunting prospect. As I stood at the lounge window looking out over the back garden, a deer jumped over the fence from the nature reserve and drank from our pond. It was from that moment on I realised that the work ahead was going to be a pleasure\"
