SNAPE Castle, the home of Catherine Parr before her marriage to Henry VIII, may be the most well-known property in the village from which it takes its name, but it’s not the only residence in the area with more than a touch of class.

Snape Castle Barn is a superb conversion that offers some 4,200sqft of accommodation within nearly an acre of grounds in the beautiful countryside just south of Bedale.

The current owners have created a stunning home that combines the old with the new, then have added the perfect finishing touches with a bespoke oak kitchen with granite worktops and marble floor, exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, bespoke handmade oak staircase and solid oak doors and skirtings. The main rooms also have a home automation system with integrated speakers and control panels.

The Barn has an impressive entrance hall, ground floor drawing room with integrated surround sound, office/gym/playroom, cloakroom, utility room, dining kitchen and family room.

This versatile room would make a fantastic room for entertaining thanks to the doors to the garden and front terrace.

Upstairs are the family bathroom, study, four bedrooms – including the master bedroom with en-suite dressing room and bathroom and another with an en-suite shower room – plus an office/studio with its own staircase and shower room. This could be used as a guest bedroom.

To the rear of the property is the garden, which is mainly lawned with an impressive terrace and decked sunbathing area with spa tub. All take advantage of the evening sun with a lovely outlook over the surrounding countryside and Snape Castle.

As impressive as this accommodation is, it’s not all Snape Castle Barn has to offer.

Of particular note is its Grade II listed Dove Cote, which is currently used as an upmarket holiday let in the summer season, providing a profitable income. This property comprises an open-plan living room with kitchen and a bedroom with en-suite.

It has its own parking and private garden.

Snape Castle Barn – which is on the market at a guide price of £1.1m – is being sold with planning permission for a three-bay garage.
