Inside this rustic barn conversion, a short drive from Whitby, with breathtaking views

Winter Gill Barn was converted 25 years ago, and was formerly part of Mountain Ash Farm.

Its stunning interior with open beams and exposed stone walls has both oil central heating and double glazing.

The unique property has a split-level lounge and a separate sitting room, with a dining room and large kitchen.

With three double bedrooms and a bunk room, bathroom and shower rooms, it is a lovely permanent home, but has also served as a successful holiday let.

An entrance hall with quarry tiled floor leads to rooms that include the dining kitchen with shaker-style units, beech worktops and integrated appliances, a breakfast bar and an oil-fired two-cover Aga stove, with a separate electric oven and Calor gas hob.

From the dining room is a spiral staircase up, and entry to the bright, cosy sitting room, with fireplace and log burner, a tiled floor, and beamed ceiling.

Off the hallway is a shower room. The lounge has steps up to a split-level room with brick fireplace and multi-fuel stove. This beamed room, with a stripped and varnished pine floor, overlooks the garden.

From the first floor landing are the bedrooms and bathroom, that include a double room with built-in cupboard and gable window.

A five-bar gate opens to the cottage's driveway, parking, and single garage.

Mainly lawned gardens with a raised stone patio area, shrubs and trees are bordered by a dry stone wall and hedging.

To the rear is a small gravelled yard.

Winter Gill Barn, Glaisdale, YO21 2QA, is priced at £500,000, with Richardson and Smith, Whitby, tel. 01947 602298.
