A HISTORIC former pub near Harrogate, at the doorstep to the Dales, has been transformed into a £2.6m collection of new homes.
New life has been breathed into the site of the New Inn public house and hotel in the rural village of Burnt Yates, which is seven miles north west of Harrogate and nestling within the Nidderdale area of outstanding natural beauty.

The bespoke collection of just eight homes has been launched to market this week through the Harrogate and Ripon estate agent Linley & Simpson, with prices starting at £305,000.

Three years after it called last orders for the final time, the landmark building – which dates back more than two centuries - has been converted into four two and three-bedroom homes.
A further four new-build homes have been created in its grounds.
Director of land and new homes at Linley & Simpson, David Waddington, said: “The New Inn first opened its doors as a hostelry in 1810 when George III was on the throne, and has been carefully and sympathetically converted.
“The original beams have been preserved by the developer, ensuring that the full character and cozy charm of the converted inn remains.

“The new-build homes, all comprising three bedrooms, maintain the development’s cottage kerb appeal having been built from Yorkshire stone.
“The development as a whole is in a charming position, adjoining open countryside.”

He added: “Burnt Yates is the quintessential North Yorkshire country village, just 10 miles from the Yorkshire Dales National Park, yet with the gateway of the A61 nearby.”
