Set in a quiet hamlet within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, West Close is a substantial stone barn conversion offering flexible five-bedroom accommodation and sweeping Raydale views. The house has been newly renovated with modern touches — Karndean floors, fitted kitchens, integrated appliances and air-source heating — while retaining traditional character and rural charm. Wrap-around lawns, patio areas and an attractive amenity plot with recently planted trees expand the living space outdoors.
The ground floor plan centres on an impressive kitchen-diner with a large island and plenty of space for formal dining, flowing to a living room with bifold doors and bespoke storage. Two double bedrooms, a laundry/utility and a ground-floor bathroom provide handy single-level living. Upstairs are three further double bedrooms and a second bathroom, making the layout adaptable for families, home-working or multigenerational use.
Practical considerations are straightforward: ample gravel driveway parking for several vehicles, double glazing throughout and low local crime. However, broadband is very slow and mobile signal only average — important for anyone needing reliable remote working. Heating is by oil-fired boiler supplemented by an air-source system; the stone walls are traditional granite without assumed insulation, which can affect running costs despite recent upgrades.
Overall, West Close will suit buyers seeking a spacious family home or countryside retreat with excellent valley views and flexible living space. The National Park setting brings tranquillity and scenic outlooks, but also planning constraints and the realities of rural utilities and connectivity. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the privacy, garden scope and internal space on offer.
