This detached, stone barn conversion lies in the village of Constable Burton, 3 miles from the market town of Leyburn, which is the gateway to the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The town provides everything you need, including family run grocery shops, country pubs, bakeries, and tearooms. On Fridays sample the best of the region's produce at the farmers market. The best way to explore this region is on foot, with routes leaving from the town centre in all directions. The first stop is the famous Leyburn Shawl, a limestone scar offering extensive views across the rolling hills of Wensleydale. Wander through the open garden event (April June) at Constable Burton Hall and Gardens and enjoy a picnic while admiring the thousands of tulips on display. Step inside and discover stylish country interiors with lots of added luxury to make your stay warm and comfortable. Boasting high oak beams, exposed stone, and warm wooden flooring, combined with the latest technology to ensure you have everything you need. The heart of the home is the generously proportioned, sophisticated lounge, perfect for relaxation and gifted with uninterrupted views of the Wensleydale countryside beyond. Snuggle up on one of the sofas for a family movie night and pick a film to watch on the Smart TV while being warmed by the heat of the dual aspect wood burner. Prepare family feasts in the country style kitchen offering everything you need for a relaxed breakfast, three course dinner, or a picnic for your adventures. You ll find a Range style electric double oven with gas hob, and dishwasher. Sit at the table, drink in hand while the chef of the group prepares a feast, perhaps with some produce from the market. For more formal suppers, gather around the large table in the dining room and enjoy the flickering flames from the wood burner. Beside the kitchen is a handy utility room with a fridge/freezer, washer/dryer, and microwave. Arrive back from a walk and leave your muddy boots in the generous hallway, which has plenty of hooks for wet coats and a separate WC. Perhaps head into the games room and play some pool perfect for the whole family. When it's time to retire, the five tastefully furnished bedrooms await, two on the ground floor and three upstairs. The two ground floor bedrooms both have double beds and en suite bathrooms with baths, separate showers, and WCs.
