Picture-perfect rural family home with expansive garden and studio space.

Spectacular River Lyvennet views within Yorkshire Dales National Park
Very large garden, orchard and long-established wildflower meadow with paths
Separate garden studio/office, garage and multiple off-street parking spaces

Heating by oil boiler; EPC D and council tax band E (higher running costs)
Sandstone walls likely uninsulated — potential retrofit/insulation needed
Slow broadband and average mobile signal in this remoter community
Set in the picture-postcard hamlet of Maulds Meaburn, this converted sandstone barn offers generous family living with sweeping views over the River Lyvennet. The house follows an upside-down layout with an impressive, light-filled kitchen beneath high apex ceilings, hand-built Yorkshire cupboards and Corian worktops — a comfortable, character-filled hub for family life. Four well-proportioned bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom sit quietly above, taking advantage of the outlook and natural light.
Outside, the plot is a major asset: a very large garden with a cultivated orchard and long-established wildflower meadow, winding paths, a separate garden studio currently used as an office/utility, garage and off-street parking. New hardwood double glazed windows improve thermal performance and preserve the period appearance. The home sits inside the Yorkshire Dales National Park and benefits from very low local crime and nearby good primary schools.
Buyers should note practical considerations typical of an older stone building. Walls are sandstone with no known insulation; the property is heated by an oil boiler and has an EPC rating of D and council tax band E. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average — factors to consider if regular high-speed internet or remote working are essential. The meadow area has been tended by the owners for over 20 years but does not appear on the Land Registry.
This house will suit families seeking rural space, garden lifestyle and strong scenic value within a national park, and buyers who accept some running and energy costs associated with a historic property. The layout and large plot also present potential to adapt ancillary buildings or garden areas subject to planning.
