About this property
Kirkby Malzeard 2.9 miles. Holt Barn is a peaceful countryside retreat tucked away on a working farm in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Follow a quiet country lane that winds between hedgerows and woodland, arriving at a private drive with space to park and turn with ease. Resting beside the gentle flow of Stock Beck and edged by tall conifer trees, this charming barn offers a tranquil escape for couples seeking rest and reconnection. A ramp leads to a raised, flagged patio at the front of the cottage, offering easy access and a welcoming entrance. Step through bi-fold glass doors into a spacious open-plan interior, where the kitchen greets you first — a well-equipped space with everything you need to whip up a storm, framed by a feature brickwork wall that adds warmth and character.
Whether you're preparing a slow breakfast or a softly lit evening meal, the kitchen sets the tone for relaxed living. Pull out a chair in the dining area and enjoy a meal for two as conversation fills the air, surrounded by rustic textures and soft lighting. The sitting area invites you to unwind, with a reclining sofa perfect for stretching out together after a day exploring the Dales. Natural light pours in through the glass doors by day, while ambient lighting creates a gentle glow in the evening. The shower room includes a walk-in shower, basin and WC, designed with simplicity and comfort in mind—ideal for refreshing after a day outdoors.
The double bedroom offers a peaceful retreat, complete with a built-in wardrobe and soft linens. Wake to views across the field behind the barn, and draw the curtains in the evening to enjoy a restful night in calming surroundings. Outside, the raised patio provides a lovely spot to enjoy your morning coffee or a quiet moment in the fresh air. Whether you're watching the trees sway in the breeze or listening to the gentle trickle of the beck nearby, this peaceful setting invites you to slow down and savour the moment. Whether you're venturing out or staying in, Holt Barn offers a peaceful base to return to after each memorable day.
Pretty Kirkby Malzeard is one of a scattering of delightful villages, idyllically situated amidst the stunning moorland scenery and tapestry of lush green meadows of Nidderdale. The village is well served by a pub, a village shop, tea rooms and a local garage. The area is a walkers paradise with many footpaths and bridleways wending their merry way through the beautiful Dales countryside, whilst painters and photographers are also well catered for. The surrounding area boasts plenty of local attractions including the ancient monastic ruins of Fountains Abbey and beautiful Studley Royal Gardens (National Trust), Lightwater Valley Theme Park, the pretty village of Masham with its famous brewery and of course the cathedral city of Ripon. You will love exploring the impressive Brimham Rocks - 50 acres of huge rocks, weathered over the years into strange shapes giving rise to names like The Eagle and Dancing Bear. Both the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors National Parks are within easy driving distance, as are the towns of Harrogate, Knaresborough and the City of York.
