Guilder Barn is a lovely countryside retreat within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and with the living accommodation on the first floor to take advantage of exposed beams, a double roof height and mezzanine.

The property was created from a Grade II-listed barn and retains characterful features.

An entrance hall with wooded flooring provides access to two bedrooms and a galleried staircase to the first floor which leads directly into the double-height dining area.

This has exposed beams and wooden flooring and is semi open-plan to both kitchen and lounge area. .

A cloakroom is conveniently situated for the main reception room which has windows to front and back and a lower ceiling. A gas stove on a corner stone plinth imparts a cosy feel and stairs lead up to the mezzanine with another few steps down to the principal bedroom.

This faces the back and has a pretty view over the tree canopy, two large Velux windows and built-in eaves storage.

Stairs lead down to a lower inner hall and doors to a garage, utility and large four-piece bathroom.

Outside is parking and a mostly lawned back garden with a beck, fruit trees, a clematis arch and shrubs. The garden extends to the beck’s opposite bank.

Guilder Barn is in Hallbeck, Killington, with good access to both Sedbergh and Kirkby Lonsdale.

It is for sale at £375,000 from Milne Moser, tel. 01539 725582.
