Occupying a delightful elevated position on the edge of the highly sought-after village of Long Preston within the magnificent Yorkshire Dales, is this exceptional stone-built barn conversion that combines the timeless character of a traditional Yorkshire barn with the comfort and practicality of contemporary family living. Sympathetically converted in the early 2000s, the property enjoys an enviable setting with far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside and rolling farmland, creating a wonderful sense of space, privacy and connection with the landscape.

Approached via a substantial driveway, the property immediately impresses with its handsome stone elevations and beautifully maintained grounds. Internally, the accommodation extends to over 2,600 sq ft and has been lovingly cared for by the current owners, with recent improvements including new carpets to certain areas. The result is a home that feels both welcoming and impeccably presented.

At the heart of the house lies a superb dining kitchen, thoughtfully designed for modern family life and entertaining alike. Well-equipped and generously proportioned, it flows naturally into the magnificent living room where a striking rectangular glazed elevation frames the countryside beyond and bi-fold doors open directly onto the terrace, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. A second reception room provides a more intimate atmosphere, centred around a wood-burning stove, offering the perfect retreat during the winter months. A versatile home office sits between the two spaces, ideal for those seeking a dedicated workspace without compromising family life.

The first floor continues to impress, with a charming galleried landing and vaulted ceilings reflecting the property's agricultural heritage. The principal suite is particularly impressive, featuring exposed beams, fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en-suite bathroom. Two further bedrooms benefit from their own en-suite facilities, whilst two additional double bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom, providing flexible accommodation for families of all ages.

Outside, the lifestyle offering is equally compelling. The formal gardens have been beautifully landscaped to take full advantage of the spectacular views, with expansive lawns and sheltered stone-flagged terraces providing wonderful spaces for entertaining, relaxing or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Mature trees enhance the sense of privacy and seclusion, while beyond the gardens lies a valuable paddock extending to approximately 2.5 acres, offering a variety of possibilities but having a raw water supply for animals.

Practicality has not been overlooked, with extensive parking, a detached double garage and additional workshop/store facilities complementing the property's impressive credentials.

Combining character, space and versatility in one of the most desirable village settings, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home in a truly outstanding environment.
