The Property
Situated in a private and secluded location, just a short distance from the nearby village of Melsonby, Millgarth is a lovingly renovated barn conversion and annexe with immaculate landscaped gardens and fantastic, elevated views of the surrounding open countryside.

Through thoughtful design choices and the use of carefully selected premium materials and fittings, the current owners have tastefully updated this property into a stylish and practical family home.

Occupying a generous 3-acre plot, the property is accessed via a private, electric-gated driveway that leads to a generously sized parking area, featuring two garages and a carport for added convenience. The exterior is exceptionally well-maintained, surrounded by neatly landscaped, sun-filled gardens, and enhanced with exterior lighting.

Inside the main house, the interiors have been stylishly updated, offering generously proportioned rooms accented by authentic period features such as slit windows and original exposed beams. Ca Pietra stone flooring extends throughout the ground floor, complemented by underfloor heating. The snug's log burner and the impressive stone inglenook fireplace in the dining room also contribute to a warm ambience.

The main living room is a uniquely inviting space, highlighted by its exposed beams and high, vaulted ceilings. Windows wrap around the room, offering panoramic views of the gardens and flooding the space with abundant natural light.

The kitchen, bespoke and crafted by local specialists Dixon & Cowton, features a high standard of hand-made and hand-painted cabinetry, natural quartzite countertops, integrated appliances, a Bose sound system, and an oil and electric AGA.

The first floor hosts two bedrooms and two en-suite bathrooms. The master bedroom is characterful and inviting, with a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, and a window seat beside the room's window, offering picturesque views over Melsonby's vistas. Reflecting the home's overall exceptional quality, the bathrooms are designed by Porter and adorned with elegantly appointed decor and high-end fixtures such as Catchpole & Rye rolltop bathtubs.

A contemporary annexe complements the main residence, providing versatile living space. This modern addition is equipped with underfloor heating on the ground floor and a stylish bedroom with a floating corner feature. The first floor of the annexe boasts a spacious office area with engineered wood floors and a Velux balcony window.
