Hog Barn is a wonderful example of a traditional 200 year old North York Moors former farm steading. It is brand new to the luxury holiday market having been painstakingly renovated to a very high standard by the owners who live in the farmhouse across the courtyard, and who are on hand to welcome guests and help with anything you might need during your stay.
Even the bleakest of moorland winters couldn’t dampen the warmth from the roaring fire and extensive underfloor heating as you step over the threshold. Beautifully lit and cosy, Hog Barn pays homage to its humble beginnings as a pigsty with handcrafted ironmongery, wide plank oak flooring, exposed stonework, preserved historic beams and picture windows where the original openings once were. This is juxtaposed against modernity with quirky lighting and stylish artwork, a premium kitchen with quartz work surfaces and breakfast bar, and gorgeous, high-quality shower rooms, as well as a smart tv in each bedroom and the living space.
The two good-sized bedrooms, sleeping four (one with a king size bed and the other super-king or twin, upon request), each with their own ensuite lie at either end of the living space, handy for those who appreciate the extra privacy whilst away. The open plan living space incorporates a living area, dining and kitchen; perfect for those family or friends’ get-togethers. At one end, a living area with two contemporary sofas, log burner and smart tv. The well-equipped kitchen is at the other end and provides a great sociable space with a breakfast bar for people to congregate around whilst somebody else cooks up a storm. With a period welsh-style dresser, all mod cons and picture window with views out to the private garden. Sited in between, is the dining area with a rustic oak and painted table, Parisian cafe-style chairs and French doors out onto the dining terrace and large garden beyond. Imagine having a fresh coffee on a crisp morning listening to the birds or taking in the summer sunset through the trees with a glass of wine. The garden boasts rattan outdoor dining furniture and a bbq, is private, west-facing and secure, surrounded by majestic, mature trees and historic dry stone walling. For the little ones, there is crockery and cutlery and a travel cot can be available upon request to the owners. The property has the addition of a laundry room with washing machine and bicycle storage for six bikes, accessed off the shared courtyard/parking area.
