Enjoying a discrete and peaceful setting bordering open countryside, Muscoates Barn is a remarkable barn conversion offering particularly spacious accommodation of almost 3,400sq.ft within a delightful plot of approximately 3.5 acres, less than 5 miles from Helmsley.

Constructed principally of limestone, beneath a clay pantile roof, the house itself enjoys an appealing layout with generously proportioned living areas, the open-plan dining kitchen and a vast drawing room being of particular note. In brief, it comprises entrance hall, guest cloakroom, drawing room, sitting room, dining room, dining kitchen and utility room. Upstairs, a galleried landing gives access to a master bedroom suite with dressing area and en-suite bathroom, three further double bedrooms and a house bathroom.

Muscoates Barn is approached via long, good quality tarmac drive; it is an appealing approach which affords the property with a high level of privacy. Attractive gardens wrap around the house, the main area enjoying a west-facing aspect with views across the paddocks and open countryside beyond. There is ample space to park and a double garage block with an adjoining home office. Subject to securing the necessary consents, there is scope to combine these two spaces to create a self-contained annexe, if required.

Three grass paddocks form part of the package and are complemented by a Goodricks stable block and hay store. Each paddock has a mains water trough and the whole arrangement will present an appealing proposition for anyone with equestrian or smallholding interests. Overall, this is a delightful family home in a beautiful and readily accessible location.
