High Barn is a substantial period stone residence set in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, offering about 3,500 sqft of flexible accommodation across multiple levels. The house sits in approximately one acre of grounds that include formal gardens, mature woodland, and a paddock with a timber stable — an appealing package for families who value privacy and outdoor space or buyers seeking an equestrian or smallholding opportunity.
The property is presented as a blank canvas and now requires comprehensive modernisation. Key services include oil-fired central heating and secondary glazing; the stone walls are likely uninsulated, so buyers should allow for improvement costs to heating and thermal performance. Internal layout and finishes offer strong potential for reconfiguration to create contemporary living spaces while retaining period character.
Externally there is generous parking, scope to add garaging or outbuildings subject to planning, and a paddock of roughly 0.3 acres. The site benefits from woodland, specimen trees from the former Flasby Hall arboretum, and extensive private gardens with countryside views — ideal for outdoor living, entertaining, or small-scale hobby farming.
Practical considerations: the house is freehold, outside flood risk, with fast broadband but average mobile signal. Council tax is noted as quite expensive and the property’s rural hamlet setting means everyday amenities lie a short drive away. Overall this is a rare opportunity to create a bespoke Dales home with significant land and character, but buyers should budget for renovation and energy-efficiency upgrades.
