Introduction

Inviting offers between £1,000,000 to £1,100,000.

Standing in a generous plot of just over a quarter of an acre in the heart of the beautiful and highly desirable conservation village of Hotham, The Barn is a truly outstanding period home of immense character and individuality.

Believed to have been constructed around 1800 as a barn serving the original host farm, the building was converted into a substantial dwelling covering approximately 2,800 square feet (internally) approximately 30 years ago and subsequently reconfigured by the current owners some 20 years ago. The result is a remarkable home of generous proportions where the character of the original building has been wonderfully preserved and enhanced, combined with the comforts of modern-day living.

The wealth of period features is quite exceptional. Magnificent, exposed king-post trusses and beams dominate the vaulted first-floor ceilings, while a stunning double-height entrance hall, exposed stone walls, sash windows and numerous quirky architectural details create a home of enormous charm and personality. Standing proudly within the village centre, the property enjoys a southerly aspect and is complemented by excellent parking and turning facilities together with a useful range of versatile outbuildings incorporating stores, an office and open barn garaging. A garden lies immediately to the rear of the house, while beyond the outbuildings is a delightful ‘secret garden’ providing a wonderfully peaceful and private retreat. Predominantly lawned, it features patio areas, established planting, raised vegetable beds and fruit trees.

The spacious accommodation, depicted on the attached floorplan, offers an extensive variety of reception spaces, each possessing its own individual character from grand reception rooms to those being ideal “work from home” options. At the heart of the home is a modern kitchen featuring an extensive range of contemporary cabinetry, a central island and integrated appliances which complement the traditional aga. Windows enjoy views to the south and a stable-style door opens directly onto the driveway. A large pantry and practical utility room provide excellent additional storage and functionality. The first floor is every bit as impressive, providing four bedrooms served by three bath/shower rooms. Throughout this level, soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and spectacular king-post trusses provide a constant reminder of the building’s fascinating heritage and create an atmosphere which is quite simply outstanding.

Properties of this calibre, character and individuality are rarely available. The Barn represents a wonderful opportunity to acquire a truly special home in one of East Yorkshire’s prettiest and most sought-after villages.
