Location

Thirn and neighbouring Thornton Watlass are particularly pretty villages, just north of Masham and south of Bedale on the eastern slopes of the Ure Valley at the entrance to Wensleydale and the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The surrounding countryside is some of the finest in the region and the nearby facilities .

Both around 11 miles north of Ripon, 4 miles from the A1(M) motorway and 11 miles from the main railway line at Northallerton, which provides a regular service to London Kings Cross.

The villages share a small primary school and public house, The Buck Inn, as well as a cricket ground which forms the central green, one of Yorkshire smallest cricket grounds but equally charming.

Description

Permitted development was obtained from North Yorkshire Council on 24th August change of use and conversion of a former agricultural building to form an eye catching contemporary dwelling (Decision No ZB25/00853/MBN).

The plans approved allow for the creation of a sizeable, eye catching property extending to around 2500 square feet, as well as associated access, parking area for up to three cars and landscaped gardens, with grassland to the north and east, equating to around an acre.

The intended property has been designed to make the most of the views and natural light via a series of full height picture windows on each elevation, benefiting the key rooms which include a large kitchen dining/living area and a generous principal suite on the first floor. The remaining four bedrooms all benefit from en-suite bath/shower rooms. Completing the accommodation is a ground floor study and useful first floor store area, all the key rooms having contrasting views of the surrounding grounds and neighbouring countryside.

The former agricultural barn is approached via a shared driveway which previously served the neighbouring farm and its associated buildings but it will now only serve the barn and the rear of the farmhouse. The site provides a substantial parcel of land which equates to about 1.22 acres, which adjoins open countryside and provides wonderful rural views on two sides.

This represents an increasingly rare opportunity to purchase a plot with planning passed for the conversion of a former agricultural barn on the edge of a rural village.
