This property provides a tranquil retreat, yet is within easy access of the pretty market towns of Helmsley, Pickering, Malton and Thirsk. Sympathetically converted to provide comfortable accommodation, this property welcomes you with original beams, wood burner, stone flagged floors throughout and the added bonus of an elegant free-standing bath sat in front of large bi-folding doors. There are blinds in the bi-folding doors that run from the bottom up to the top.

Lovingly furnished with a homely Yorkshire feel this property ensures a memorable holiday. Entry is via a large boot room, an ideal place to hang up walking clothes, storing bikes or as an area for dogs to dry out after a day exploring.



Sunset Barn offers open-plan living with stone floors throughout and a deep Chesterfield sofa. The farmhouse style kitchen/dining area is separated from the kingsize bedroom by a rustic brick wall, with the lovely feature of a duel facing wood burner. One of the original windows has also been cleverly incorporated into the wall so you can catch a glimpse throughout the property. The boutique style wet room completes the accommodation.

Outside is a private garden offering both a lawn and patio area, an idyllic spot to sit and relax. Freshly laid eggs from the free range chickens are available to purchase or pick some of the many herbs available in your garden area to add to some delicious home cooked recipes?

This beautiful part of North Yorkshire is a walkers and cyclist’s paradise, with miles of footpaths, cycle routes and bridle ways not to mention the Coast-to-Coast and Cleveland Way paths. Nearby lies Byland and Rievaulx Abbey, Helmsley Castle, the National Bird of Prey Centre and Castle Howard, home to ITV’s ‘Victoria’. For history enthusiasts, the historic city of York is only a 40-minute drive away as is the North Yorkshire coast and seaside towns of Whitby, Scarborough and Bridlington. Beach 24 miles.
