The Granary is an example of an impeccable barn conversion, which was sympathetically renovated by the current owners. With exposed beams and lofty ceilings throughout, the property has been finished to a very high standard. Many of the rooms are open plan, leading into each other, which not only creates an appealing flow to the house, but also allows for flexible accommodation and an abundance of light during the day.

Entering through a versatile entrance porch, with a fitted cupboard for boots and coats, this room then opens up to the open plan kitchen/breakfast room. Fitted to an extremely high standard, and a cooks dream, the kitchen has a plethora of bespoke cupboards and worktops. There is an electric AGA and a separate induction top cooker with extractor hood above. A granite breakfast table extends neatly from the central island and seats up to four people.

From the kitchen, is really the heart of the home. The open plan sitting room offers the perfect space for family life and combines a seating area with a wood burner, with a dining area and two sets of French windows which open onto the garden and south facing terrace. A utility room and cloakroom are also located on the ground floor, along with a rear door which leads into the central courtyard area.

There are two double bedrooms on the ground floor, both of which have newly laid wooden floors and shutter styled windows. The second of the downstairs bedrooms has a separate door onto the terrace and could be used as ancillary accommodation with an independent access if needed. There is a beautifully fitted family bathroom on the ground floor, which has a bath and separate shower.

Leading up the unusually wide stairs is the open plan drawing room, with exposed beams, making this a fantastic room for entertaining. With additional conversation glass sky lights set into the roof pitch, this room is light and airy and connects the reception space with the outside world seamlessly. There is an efficient wood burner and windows on both aspects.
The principal suite which is accessed from here is a generous size with pretty window seat and exposed beams incorporating a skylight. The en-suite shower room is complimented by the walk in dressing room, making for a luxurious principal wing. There are two further double bedrooms on this floor, both with lofty ceilings and exposed beams, adding period charm to the remaining accommodation.

The views are far reaching from every window over the surrounding countryside and on clear day, York Minster can be seen in the distance.

The Granary commands a wonderful position on the edge of the village of Tunstall, a small village to the south west of the historic town of Richmond. Richmond is known to be the gateway to the Yorkshire Dales and dates back to Norman times, with an interesting history and is now a bustling market town which offers a wide range of amenities and facilities, including supermarkets, theatres and cinemas. In the nearby villages of Bedale, Leyburn and Masham, there is a good collection of boutique shops, restaurants and coffee shops.

The views are superb from the property, with the Cleveland Hills to the east, the Vale of York to the south and Penn Hill and Wensleydale to the west.

Approached along a long drive, which The Granary has the benefit of owning, the property has a pretty stone façade set under a slate roof.

The gardens almost need to be seen to be believed. Carefully planted into different areas of interest, the current owners have created a magical haven of foliage which flowers throughout the year. The enchanting garden has been divided into different areas, all of which have a different feel and purpose.

Nestled at the bottom of the garden is the garden room, which makes for a peaceful spot for al fresco entertaining or relaxation. The garden room benefits from electricity and a wood burner. With exposed beams and French windows opening onto the tranquil garden, this room is a fantastic addition to the main house and its accommodation. There is a covered shelter over the terrace which extends the room into the garden and has the benefit of an outside heater.

There is a small courtyard area in the central core of the barn development, which is in the ownership of The Granary. Neatly laid out with topiary trees and careful hedging, this area provides a manageable, easy to maintain garden, whilst offering the privacy from the other dwellings.

There is a double garage to the front of the property, with parking for several cars. Adjacent to garage is the wood store and additional storage. A large greenhouse sits against the rear wall of the garage which overlooks the elegant topiary garden on the approach to the front door along a stone paved path.

There is also a good sized workshop/garden store, which has the benefit of electricity, and offers potential for a variety of uses. There are 2 poly-tunnels, both of which produce a fantastic crop of vegetables throughout the year. There is also a natural pond which creates an appealing nesting ground for wild birds and wildlife. A wood bird hide is situated nearby. Leading to the far end of the garden is a large paddock, which is bordered by an area of woodland and a field shelter. The paddocks are fenced and offer good grazing land for horses or other livestock.
