The Granary at Grassdale Barns is a spacious five-bedroom barn conversion set in an affluent, rural hamlet about fifteen miles from York. The house blends original brick character with a modern extension and a high-spec kitchen by Schuller, recently installed with NEFF appliances and a BORA downdraft hob. Large windows (A-rated flush-sash double glazing) and high ceilings create bright, adaptable living spaces across approximately 2,570 sq ft, well suited to family life and entertaining.
Outside, a professionally landscaped, large plot includes a substantial patio of wood-effect porcelain tiles, multiple seating areas and off-street parking for three cars. The property was converted around 2003 and has seen significant recent refurbishment, including new windows and a full redecoration, so it is largely move-in ready for a family looking for rural tranquillity with good road links to York and the motorway network.
Important practical points: the property sits in a high flood-risk area, which will affect insurance and may require specific flood protections. Broadband speeds in the location are slow and the main heating runs from an LPG boiler (not on a mains gas network). The building’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no insulation, which could affect running costs despite the upgraded windows. Council tax is described as expensive.
This is a substantial, characterful family home offering a rare combination of period features and contemporary fittings in a quiet, remote setting. Buyers should be comfortable managing rural utilities (LPG, slow broadband) and taking specialist advice on flood risk, insulation upgrades and insurance before purchase.
