Set within a sheltered valley on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, Middlebirks Barn is a substantial stone barn conversion offering uninterrupted panoramic views of the Three Peaks. The house feels both characterful and comfortable: exposed timbers, oak floors and multifuel stoves sit alongside a contemporary Silestone breakfast kitchen and modern bathrooms. Gardens are low‑maintenance, gated and generous, with parking for several cars and purpose-built stores.
The accommodation is flexible and family-friendly. The principal bedroom has an ensuite, with two further bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor. A ground-floor living kitchen, shower room and separate stairs create a largely self-contained annex ideal for guests, dependent relatives or home office use. The layout makes the property work as a single house or as a house with a private suite.
Practical details to note: the main heating is oil-fired with LPG on site for the living-kitchen boiler and multi‑fuel stoves, and drainage is to a private septic tank. The barn was converted in 2000 and extensively upgraded by the current owners, but the original stone walls are unrendered historic construction and assumed to lack modern cavity insulation. There is a shared right of way with defined upkeep responsibilities and a higher council tax band.
This is a rural retreat for buyers who prize peace, wide open skies and easy access to walking, cycling and the Dales. It will particularly suit families, those wanting multigenerational accommodation or anyone seeking a spacious base for outdoor pursuits, provided they are comfortable with rural services, shared track maintenance and oil/LPG heating arrangements.
