A superb barn conversion in a secluded setting within a popular village close to the City of York

Tucked away at the bottom of a private road shared with only two other houses, Walnut Barn is a tasteful conversion maintaining many original features including large wooden beams inside and out. Converted 24 years ago, it offers all the charm and history that comes with an older building combined with versatile, modern living. Located only a short walk from the village centre, Walnut Barn has the best of both worlds. The corner plot offers privacy and seclusion but the proximity to Heslington village along with public transport links to York and surrounding areas mean you are only ever half an hour from great theatre, food, shopping and further travel via York railway station.

Additional Information - Walnut Barn sits in the furthest corner of a cul-de-sac on a private road shared by only two other houses. The front door opens into the tiled entrance hall with an exposed brick wall and timber beams, an open wooden staircase and a door to the cloakroom as well as doors leading to the living room on one side and the rest of the ground floor rooms on the other. The cosy living room has full height windows looking out onto the garden and a wide brick feature fireplace with a wood burner, all under more original timbers. The dining room, with ample room for multiple diners, has a beautiful wrought iron fireplace with floral tiles. The kitchen breakfast room, fitted with Siematic kitchen units has a large island with a breakfast bar and under counter fridge. There is also a second fitted fridge and a full height fitted freezer. There is a comfortable seating area and a door leading to the parking area. In the corner of the kitchen is a door to a useful utility room. The downstairs rooms all link together making for great family living and entertaining space with an open plan feel, however the addition of double doors with clear glass between each room offers the versatility to create more intimate spaces. Upstairs all the rooms have North West views across the garden and parking area. The principal bedroom has a vaulted ceiling featuring original timber roof strutts from what was the hay loft. The en suite shower room has been updated in recent years and now has a large shower cubicle, a toilet and sink and stylish grey brick tiling. There are three further double bedrooms, one has a large built in wardrobe, another a tiled en suite shower room. There is also a modern house bathroom with a large storage cupboard, an office featuring unusual beams from the original barn loft and a cupboard housing the water tank.

Outside - The property is accessed down a private road, shared by two other houses. There are two generous parking spaces on the drive with room for a third smaller vehicle adjacent to the single garage. The garage has an electric car charging point to the outside and light and power inside.
To the left of the garage is a small wood store and a gated area useful for keeping a dog. Careful planting of evergreen shrubs ensures that the garden is very private. Box hedging lines a gravel path across a lawned area leading to a corner patio looking back at the house.
