Summary - THE BARN COWESBY THIRSK YO7 2JL
2 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious two-bed in tranquil North York Moors hamlet.
Approximately 1,300 sqft internal space—unusually large for two bedrooms
This characterful two-bedroom barn conversion sits within the North York Moors National Park, offering almost 1,300 sqft of light-filled living space and striking vaulted ceilings. The generous reception rooms, mezzanine overlooking a double-height living area and mature garden create a rare, spacious feel for a cottage of this size—ideal for those seeking peaceful country living near Thirsk.
Practical aspects are clear: the property is oil‑heated via boiler and radiators, has double glazing installed before 2002, and benefits from off‑street parking for multiple cars. It sits in a low‑crime, rural hamlet with good access to local primary schooling and Thirsk’s wider amenities, making it suited to downsizers or buyers wanting a second home in a scenic setting.
Buyers should note material drawbacks that affect running costs and potential refurbishment scope. The EPC rating is F, the stone walls appear uninsulated (assumed), and broadband speeds are very slow—so upgrading insulation, heating efficiency and connectivity will be sensible early works. Council Tax band E applies. These issues present both costs and opportunity to improve energy performance and value.
Overall, this home offers distinctive period character, generous proportions and a tranquil rural location. It will particularly reward buyers prepared to invest in energy upgrades and modern connectivity to make the most of the building’s charm and scale.
