A Superb Barn Conversion That Seamlessly Blends Historic Craftsmanship With Contemporary Design

A superb barn conversion that seamlessly blends historic craftsmanship with contemporary design, creating a unique and character-rich dwelling with five bedrooms and detached double garage, located between sought-after villages.

The property
Nestled in the scenic surroundings of Eden Park on the outskirts of Harrogate, The Old Dairy is a beautifully executed stone barn conversion that seamlessly blends traditional charm with a stylish modern design. Arranged in a U-shape on the ground floor, with most rooms benefiting a southerly aspect over the private courtyard, the property is finished with Farrow & Ball paints, Lapicida tiling with underfloor heating to the ground floor and fitted carpets in the first-floor bedrooms. There are Premium Corston fluted brass wall lights fitted throughout, complemented by a sophisticated Lutron system that allows creation and control custom lighting ’scenes’ for any occasion.

The accommodation flows from a welcoming double-height entrance hall with a useful cloakroom/boot room and timeless bespoke oak staircase with glass balustrade to the galleried landing over. It leads to the impressive drawing room, featuring a vaulted ceiling with stunning exposed oak beams and a central, stylish log burner set within a beautiful stone surround to create a cosy focal point. These combined provide character and comfort in equal measure alongside a set of French doors that open to the courtyard and provide a wealth of natural light, perfect for entertaining or relaxing.

Anchoring the home and connecting all the wings is the heart of the home, the stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and living room designed with modern living in mind. This expansive space is ideal for both day-to-day family life and hosting guests, with direct access to a walk-in pantry and a well-equipped utility room providing plenty of additional storage space. The kitchen itself has been tailor made by RoomRoom and has a range of hand-painted wall and base units, a custom central island with fitted booth seating area, complementary luxurious quartz worktops and splashbacks and integrated Siemens appliances. The remaining space, configurable to the purchasers’ own requirements, has living and dining areas with ample space for a good-sized dining table, a media wall with shelving and full-height glazing incorporating French doors to the courtyard.

An internal Crittall door leads to a second hall and to a dual aspect study that provides a quiet and versatile space for home working or potential use as a fifth bedroom with an en suite shower room. Completing the ground floor is the spacious principal bedroom suite that offers luxury and privacy with vaulted ceilings and exposed oak beams that are elegantly accentuated with integrated LED lighting, reflecting the barn’s original structure. To one end of the bedroom is the fully fitted dressing room with wood effect doors that add a touch of warmth and comfort. To the far side is the luxurious en suite bathroom that briefly comprises twin sinks, a freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower, paired with brushed nickel fittings.

Stairs rise from both halls to two first floor landings, one galleried and overlooking the living space below, reinforcing the barn’s open and airy feel. The vaulted first floor houses the property’s three remaining double bedrooms, one with exposed ceiling beams and a contemporary en suite shower room. The two others having fitted wardrobes and sharing Jack and Jill access to an equally refined en suite shower room.
