Property Overview - Gower Hall Barn is a truly remarkable transformation of a collection of Victorian stables and barns into a staggeringly beautiful country home set in 3.5 acres. Meticulously managed by our Clients, the design and build process commenced in 2017 with a clear vision to retain, restore and re-use as many original features as possible whilst creating inspired living space to wrap around a former covered fold yard which was always destined to become an tranquil and sheltered central courtyard connecting all 4 wings of this fascinating range of agricultural buildings.
Inside - A spacious reception hall with high vaulted ceiling and cloakroom/wc leads off into a versatile gym/second home office, plant room and staircase down into the garage. The stunning 35’8” (10.87m) long dining kitchen and living room features a host of original beams, 4 sets of bi-folding doors opening out onto an expansive west facing paved seating area and double doors opening out onto a fabulous breakfast terrace overlooking the incredible central courtyard. The dining area boasts a Clearview dual-fuel stove and the beautiful handmade oak kitchen features a substantial granite topped central island with dining bar and Quooker hot water tap to complement the generous range of storage cupboards and granite worktops. Leading off the kitchen is a fantastic walk-in pantry, large boot room plus a separate laundry room.
A magnificent 70’0” (21.34m) long oak and glass walkway overlooks the central courtyard and leads off into 3 en-suite double bedrooms and the 26’7” (8.11m) long sitting room with 2 sets of doors opening out onto a second expansive patio, Clearview dual-fuel stove plus a library and a home cinema room leading off. The superb home office also features an en-suite shower room which lends itself to becoming a 5th double bedroom.
A bespoke oak staircase off the sitting room leads up into an impressive principal bedroom suite that enjoys delightful rural views and comes complete with a spacious dressing room and a luxurious en-suite shower room.
Other internal features of note include Cat 6 plug sockets and a CCTV security system, underfloor heating throughout (via a sustainable ground source heating system) and a combination of both solar and double glazing to boost the barn’s energy efficiency. The design and build process has also included the preparation to add solar panels.
The Annexe - The adjoining annexe benefits from it’s own independent access off the drive and comes with planning consent to also be used as holiday let/AirBnb. The annexe currently provides an entrance hall with built-in storage, L-shaped open plan dining kitchen and living room plus one double bedroom with an en-suite shower room. It should also be noted that 2 connecting doors to the main reception hall allow the annexe’s accommodation to also be incorporated and expand the living and sleeping space of the principal property.
Outside - Approached via a 500m long shared drive, Gower Hall Barn’s discretely positioned gated driveway provides generous parking and access into an open double garage with useful garden store. The formal gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and enjoy glorious far reaching rural views towards Bulmer and Castle Howard. Including the 2.7 acre paddock the property stands in around 3.5 acres in total.
Services - We have been advised by the vendor that all main services are connected to the property.
Energy Efficiency - This property's current energy rating is D (62) and has the potential to be improved to an EPC rating of C (70).
Council Tax & Postcode - This property sits within North Yorkshire Council and is in the tax band of H. The postcode for the property is YO60 7QD.
Tenure - We have been informed by the vendor that the property is freehold.
