A highly individual, newly built detached home, with all the appeal of a delightful converted old barn, offering 200+ square metres of living space, with two reception rooms and four bedrooms.

Ideally sited, Long Barn faces East/West with the rear private garden to the West, for afternoon and evening sun. This new home oozes character and charm, and is built to exacting standards, with high specification fixtures and fittings.

The development Vinery End, so named because of the vines which grew here in glasshouses in the last century, is five individual homes, conceived as “an old farmstead” of brick and oak barns and oak framed outbuildings, clustered around an informal courtyard. Long Barn is perfect for lovers of traditional homes yet with all the benefits of a brand new, low energy, timber frame property. (Long Barn’s EPC energy rating is 85).

Internally

The welcoming front door, with its ceiling height glazed surround and oak beam, opens to a light and spacious Central Hallway, which on the right takes you through to the Sitting Room. Here there are windows to both front and rear of the property, and also a door connecting to the Dining Room.

To the left of the entrance hall is the generously equipped open plan Breakfast Kitchen and Dining Room. This is a stunning space featuring bi-fold doors to the rear private landscaped garden, a raised ceiling, and Velux roof windows, allowing ample natural light to fill what will no doubt become the heart of the home. The Designer Kitchen from David Charles has Neff integrated appliances, including eye level ovens, and warming drawer, fridge freezer and dishwasher.

The adjoining Family Room (some 6.5 x 5 metres) offers plentiful space for relaxing, with abundant light from windows to the South, East and West, including French doors to the rear garden. A separate Utility Room from the kitchen, and a Cloakroom in the hall, complete the ground floor.

The spacious character of the home continues at first floor in the Principal Bedroom, which boasts windows to three sides, with En suite Shower Room and separate Dressing Area. There is also a Guest Bedroom with En Suite Shower Room, two further Double Bedrooms and a family House Bathroom featuring a freestanding bath.

All the bathrooms include vanity storage units, mirrors with lighting, underfloor heating and chrome towel rails with dual fuel for summer use. The feature walk-in showers have frameless glass screens, and dual rain shower/flexi-hose showerheads with thermostatic controls.

Externally

Outside, the rear West facing garden is laid to lawn with paved seating areas offering space for relaxation. The gravelled driveway provides parking and access to the traditionally designed oak framed cart lodge with space for two cars. The cart lodge is also “future proofed” with the potential to convert the roof space above for home office use, subject to the relevant planning permission.

Additional Specification Items

Attention to detail helps give a home that personal touch and sets it apart. All building materials were chosen to reflect the character of the design, including rustic bricks, natural slate and clay roof tiles, stone paving, oak beams above the entrance door, oak cladding to the single storey areas, and of course the oak framed cart lodges.

The use of oak continues internally, with oak staircase and oak faced internal doors. Windows are high performance double glazed in low maintenance UPVC, purpose made to the architect’s design.

Electrical fittings are in satin aluminium, with generous provision. There is media connectivity throughout the home, with potential remote access to CCTV and heating controls. Most rooms have multiple recessed downlighters. Externally there are also power points for garden use, power/internet connections both to the cart lodge and garden shed base, an EV charging point, and lights plus CCTV to both front and rear.

Heating and hot water is provided by a Viessmann gas fired boiler, with zoned underfloor heating at ground floor and wall mounted radiators with thermostatic valves to first floor. In addition to radiators, bathrooms also have programmable electric underfloor heating.
Floorcoverings are laid throughout, with large section tiles to kitchen, dining room, utility, cloakroom and bathrooms, whilst other areas are carpeted.

Boroughbridge

Well situated between the stunning scenery of the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales, the market town of Boroughbridge has a rich and established heritage, dating back to an original Roman garrison at the river crossing, where the town established as a central hub of the region for over 1,000 years.

The charming town centre and it’s thriving high street offers an excellent range of facilities, with flourishing independent cafés, shops, bars and restaurants, and the newly refurbished Crown Hotel, all whilst being surrounded by charming countryside perfect for walkers.
