THINK quintessential English village homes and Kirkpatrick won't be too far off the mark.

Sympathetically renovated to create a charming home packed full of period and traditional features including exposed stonework, open fireplaces, ornate ceiling roses and solid oak doors, Kirkpatrick also enjoys a magnificent setting adjoining open countryside in the Lower Wensleydale village of Patrick Brompton.

At the heart of its ground floor accommodation are the interlinked vaulted ceilinged kitchen and family breakfast room/utility room.

The kitchen is a perfect mix of traditional and modern features in which exposed beams and stonework complement granite-topped fitted units and underfloor heating, while the spacious family breakfast room/utility room is home to a second contemporary kitchen. Both allow access to the outdoor areas – the kitchen with a door to a patio, and the breakfast room via oak French doors to the rear garden.

Also on the ground floor are an informal snug area with a feature multi-fuel stove, cloakroom, period-style bathroom, study, cosy living room with a multi-fuel stove and double aspect windows to the front and rear, and a more formal sitting room featuring a beautiful tiled Edwardian fireplace.

Upstairs are three bedrooms – each with an Edwardian-style fireplace. While bedrooms one and two share access to a stylish shower room, bedroom three has a brick chimney breast on one wall, bare stonework on another, original exposed beams to the vaulted ceiling and new solid oak flooring.

Outside is just as charming, with the split-level walled front garden including fruit trees, vegetable plots, herbaceous borders and a flagged patio area, and the rear garden – laid mainly to lawn – backing on to open country.

Kirkpatrick also includes a detached stone-built garage, an outbuilding/workshop currently used as a storage area and a smaller log/coal store. The current owners have drawn up plans to create a double garage with workshop and parking.

Kirkpatrick is on the market at a guide price of £495,000.
