A single-storey stone barn conversion occupying a large plot on the edge of Whashton, this property blends rustic character with generous outdoor space and wide countryside views. The vaulted kitchen, dining and day room is the house’s social hub, with exposed trusses and large arched openings that bring light and the landscape indoors. Two double bedrooms and a sizable boot/utility room give practical, flexible living on one level.
The gardens are a major draw: extensive lawns, gravelled side areas, a summerhouse, shed, cobbled parking and gated access all sit within stone-walled boundaries and enjoy broad panoramic views. The location suits buyers seeking rural tranquillity while remaining within reasonable reach of Richmond, Barnard Castle and main road links to the A66 and A1(M).
Important practical points are straightforward: heating is provided by an oil-fired boiler with radiator heating, the property is on mains services, and the building dates to before 1900 with traditional stone walls (no known external wall insulation). A previously lapsed planning consent exists for a domestic store/summerhouse, but there is no current live permission. The EPC is recorded as TDC.
This home will appeal to downsizers or couples wanting single-level living with character and space for gardening and entertaining. Buyers should budget for ongoing maintenance associated with older stone buildings (possible upgrades to insulation, checking glazing install dates and routine servicing of the oil boiler).
