FROM the outside, Mill Barn looks like any one of a hundred very formulaic barn conversions in the North Yorkshire countryside.

Step inside, and you immediately realise it’s anything but.

This stunningly-presented property has everything going for it, from a wealth of beautifully-designed accommodation that seamlessly blends elements of its original character with contemporary fixtures and fittings, to a peaceful rural setting in the village of East Knapton.

Briefly, Mill Barn’s spacious ground-floor accommodation comprises an entrance hall, study, dining room, boot room, cloak room, utility room, play room, kitchen diner and drawing room. Of particular note, this room has a pitched roof and features stone arches with doors leading out on to the decking and south-facing garden.

Upstairs are the master suite with walk-in wardrobe and en-suite wetroom plus three further bedrooms, two with en-suite shower rooms and one with an en-suite bathroom.

All of the rooms on the ground floor – and throughout the property as a whole – feature the most magnificent wood, from industrial-sized roof timbers to an elegant staircase and characterful doors. Combined with recessed lighting, bare brick walls and the sheer scale of the rooms, this creates a unique and highly-desirable family home.

The current owners have planning in place for an indoor swimming pool and gym at the far end of the barn, with ground-source heat installed. There are also solar panels on the roof of the barn.

Mill Barn is set in just over 3.5 acres of gardens and grounds, just eight miles from Malton. The gardens are laid mainly to lawn, but include decking and patio seating areas as well as a children’s play area. The property also includes a self-contained annexe and an office building with kitchenette which could be converted into garaging or used as further accommodation, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.

Mill Barn is on the market at a guide price of £750,000. For more information or to arrange a viewing, contact Savills York office on 01904 617820.
