5 bedroom barn conversion

ARGUABLY THE MOST OUTSTANDING AND IMPECCABLY APPOINTED BARN CONVERSION AVAILABLE BEING FINISHED TO A QUITE EXTRAORDINARILY HIGH SPECIFICATION AND SET WITHIN PRIVATE ESTABLISHED GROUNDS ON THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF A POPULAR AND ACCESSIBLE VILLAGE. IN ALL ABOUT 2.55 ACRES.

West Lilling itself is an unspoilt rural village set amidst the attractive gently undulating countryside which rises from the Vale of York towards the southern edge of the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) which lies a short distance away to the north. The property is extremely conveniently located being just 3.5 miles west of the main A64 Leeds – Scarborough trunk road thereby making for quick and easy access to many of the main commercial centres in the area as well as to renowned areas of countryside such as the North York Moors National Park, the Howardian and Hambleton Hills and the east coast which together comprise some of the most beautiful countryside anywhere.

By any standards, Toft Farm is a quite extraordinary property and must surely rank as one of the most imaginatively designed and impeccably appointed properties to have come on to the market in the area. It is set well back from the road in the centre of this attractive rural village and lies within its own well maintained gardens and grounds and may accurately be described as a true hidden gem. The combination of privacy and accessibility would be hard to match anywhere.

The architect designed accommodation is based upon a previous conversion of a range of traditional former farm buildings believed to date from the late 18th Century. The discreet approach from the north is via a private driveway guarded by electrically operated solid Oak boarded double gates and completely belies the true scale and nature of this wonderful property which has been configured so as to make the very best possible use of its open south facing aspect to the rear. The property is an intriguing amalgamation of the old and the new with the form and vernacular architectural features of the original period buildings still clearly in evidence to include exposed timbers and beams, wooden panelling, original doors and exposed brickwork which all contribute towards a high level of aesthetic appeal. At the same time, the property is fully equipped with every conceivable modern convenience which all goes to make for extremely extensive, flexible and superbly appointed modern living accommodation of exceptional quality and style. The property has been finished to a truly exacting standard and there are indeed too many features to list individually but suffice to say that all have been chosen to complement one another perfectly as part of a cohesive overall design. Particular features include woodwork painted with Farrow and Ball colours, the extensive and judicious use of recessed lights, a surround sound audio system, a zoned central heating system, a water softener, underfloor heating to the Living – Kitchen/Dining Area, Drawing Room, Orangery and the Master Bedroom wing and exceptionally high quality fittings by Gerberit, Hansgrohe, and Hudson Reed. There is in addition, an exceptional level of wall and roof insulation in the property which together with roof solar panels make for a most comfortable living environment combined with great economy of use.
