THE PROPERTY
Ailred Barn is an attractive stone-built period barn conversion that was created from a range of traditional farm buildings in 1995 when it was converted to create this charming home which includes a number of character features including polished floors, stone fireplace with a wood burning stove, exposed beams and trusses and some stonework and traditional style wooden panel doors.

The property is approached through a reception hall which has a shower room with WC off and leads to the sitting room with an open fire and large windows looking to the front. There is a large living kitchen in excess of 20’ long which includes a sitting dining and kitchen area with an Aga. The utility room leads to the terraced seating area and there is a separate pantry. To the first floor, the galleried landing gives access to the two double bedrooms and house bathroom.

OUTSIDE
The property is approached over a shared private drive leading to the parking area for the property. To the front of the house there is a private terraced seating /BBQ area with well stocked mature beds which lead to the side where there is a further patio and lawned area. To the rear, there is a vegetable garden which in turn leads to two good sized lawned gardens bounded with stone walls and tall hedges and views across the North York Moors.
