East Layton, Richmond, North Yorkshire, DL11

Welcome home...

Offering something a little different from the usual two-bedroom home, this well-presented barn conversion combines characterful accommodation with an impressive detached garage/workshop and plenty of off-road parking.

Located close to East Layton and within easy reach of Scotch Corner and the A66, the property is particularly well placed for anyone travelling throughout North Yorkshire, County Durham and further afield.

Step inside, into the delightful, light-filled hallway, where the accommodation begins to unfold. The layout has been arranged with the two bedrooms and bathroom on the ground floor, leaving the first floor entirely dedicated to the main living space.

Head upstairs and the barn conversion really comes into its own. The first floor opens into a generous open-plan kitchen and living area, creating a sociable space for cooking, relaxing and entertaining. This space is thoughtfully styled, creating a cosy and welcoming feel; settle down with your favourite movie and leave the world behind.

The modern kitchen is well fitted with a range of units, integrated appliances, providing a natural place for morning coffee or informal dining. With the kitchen and lounge brought together in one open space, this floor has an easy, relaxed feel and makes the most of the proportions of the original building.

Both bedrooms are conveniently positioned on the ground floor and are served by the house bathroom.

As you make your way downstairs, the second bedroom is the first room you come to. Currently used as an artist’s studio and home office, it’s a generously sized and versatile space, with a large window allowing plenty of natural light to fill the room. There’s ample space for a double bed and additional furniture, while its proportions mean it could just as easily continue as a creative workspace or dedicated home office.

The house bathroom has recently been refurbished and the result is a beautifully considered space. Clean and stylish while still feeling entirely in keeping with the country character of the home, it features a generous walk-in shower and a fresh, understated finish. A cleverly designed cupboard houses the washing machine, keeping it neatly tucked away and allowing the bathroom to remain calm and uncluttered.

Relax and unwind...

Step outside...

Externally, the property offers considerably more than you might expect from a two-bedroom home. A gravelled driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to the large detached garage/workshop.

Whether you need secure space for vehicles, enjoy working on cars or bikes, require a workshop for hobbies or simply want substantial additional storage, this is a particularly useful addition to the property and one that sets it apart from many homes of a similar size.

To the rear is a courtyard area or as the current homeowner refers to it, a Yarden! Providing a private outside space which is nice and easy to maintain.

The property benefits from double glazing and electric heating.

Location...

The property is situated close to East Layton, with direct access from the drive to the A66 and Scotch Corner. It’s position makes it particularly convenient for commuters and those needing straightforward road connections towards Richmond, Darlington, Barnard Castle and the wider region.
