A beautifully renovated and upgraded character barn in an exceptional Yorkshire Dales setting, White House Barn occupies a spectacular position at the foot of Simon’s Seat, with far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. Stunning inside and out!

Set in one of the most sought-after corners of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the property lies within the beautiful Skyreholme valley, close to the picturesque village of Appletreewick and surrounded by some of the finest walking and cycling country in the Dales. Simon’s Seat, Trollers Gill, Parcevall Hall and the River Wharfe are all close at hand, making this an outstanding location for enjoying the landscape directly from the doorstep.

The property has seen considerable recent expenditure on upgrading, combining the timeless character of a traditional Yorkshire barn with exceptional craftsmanship and a high-quality contemporary finish, this highly individual four-bedroom home is both stylish and welcoming.

A particular highlight is the superb bespoke oak-framed extension, crafted by Yorkshire Oak Frames. Designed to complement the original barn, it floods the home with natural light and creates a wonderful connection with the landscape. Generous glazing and exposed oak framing make this an exceptional space for living, dining and entertaining.

The bespoke kitchen featuring oak units and an everhot range cooker forms the heart of the home, flowing naturally into the principal living and dining areas and making the most of the outstanding views. A reclaimed stone floor by Lapicida extends through the main living spaces, complemented by underfloor heating for year-round comfort.

The living room with doors onto the garden features a charming stone fireplace with multi-fuel-stove, exposed roof timbers and a further dining area. The house benefits from a second fully equipped prep-kitchen has an extensive range of units and a range cooker, and a laundry room and cloakroom complete the ground floor.

Offering excellent scope for family living, guests, home working or additional reception space, the generously proportioned bedrooms and beautifully finished bathrooms reflect the quality and attention to detail found throughout.
