This rural retreat in North Yorkshire is surrounded by open countryside and boasts panoramic views across rolling fields and woodlands. The property sits on the edge of the pretty village of Gilling West, and is also just 5 miles from the historic market town of Richmond. The area is a haven for walkers, with multiple routes directly from the property and nearby beauty spots to explore, such as Aysgarth Falls (18 miles). In the evenings, watch movies in the glow of the wood burner, or dine outside and admire the jaw-dropping views.

The vast, detached holiday home is reached via a private drive through the stunning Yorkshire countryside. Inside, the luxurious barn conversion seamlessly blends original features, such as exposed trusses and stonework, with contemporary decor and design. Come together in the impressive kitchen/diner, with far-reaching views on either side, to prepare delicious, home-cooked feasts and share mealtimes at the elegant dining table. In the evenings, gather in the stunning lounge, where sumptuous sofas are nestled around a Smart TV and warming wood burner. Heading downstairs, you’ll find three luxurious bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite bathroom. A dressing room with ample storage and a family bathroom complete this level. The property is surrounded by sweeping lawns, with plenty of space for children to run and play. You’ll also find a raised, decked area for al fresco entertaining and a private hot tub (accessed via steps) for relaxation after a day of outdoor adventure.

There’s so much to see and do in the picturesque market town of Richmond. Potter around the cobbled marketplace, with its plethora of independent shops, boutiques, and galleries, before dining in one of the many cosy pubs or cute cafes. Richmond has a rich history, which can be explored at the Norman castle, in one of the museums, or on the heritage town trail. The pretty River Swale runs directly through the town, offering scenic walks and tranquil picnic spots on its banks.
