INTRODUCTION

Situated in the picturesque village of Snape, only four miles south of the popular North Yorkshire market town of Bedale. Snape Castle Barn has been fully renovated over the last three years and encapsulates a sophisticated relationship between contemporary style and traditional barn interiors. The pastoral setting is peaceful and tranquil, with romantic views of Snape Castle, the adjoining parkland, and Thorp Perrow Arboretum.

Upon approach, you will be greeted by the fully automated bespoke wrought iron gates, which lend a sense of arrival. The gravel driveway offers plenty of private parking within the walled compound and a two-car garage.

The classically designed gardens by Kit Peel Gardens feature numerous terraces and dining areas surrounded by David Austin roses, topiary, herbaceous borders, and a wildflower meadow.

Upon entering the home, the flow is seamless with cosy, heated Old Tuscany limestone floors and bespoke plantation shutters installed throughout. Each room is designed to form an open living space perfect for family life, entertaining, or working from home. The triple-height drawing room, which links to the dining room, continuously and beautifully streams daylight through the two spectacular double-height arched windows, creating an alluring warmth. A sense of space and light delicately draws in the beautiful gardens that envelop the home on all sides.

The luxurious kitchen is designed for entertaining and features a separate coffee/wine bar area with instant boiling and/or filtered water. The Miele appliances are fully integrated into the kitchen design, and the luxury is further enhanced by the Shaws of England sinks, Perrin and Rowe taps, Carrara marble countertops, walnut shelving, and a 3-metre island perfectly placed between the casual dining area and the spectacular bespoke hardwood orangery by Vale Garden Houses. The orangery is one of the most beautiful settings immersed within the garden and surrounded by pleached hornbeam trees underplanted with tulips and David Austin roses. It can be enjoyed year-round with underfloor heating and fully automated, remote-controlled
French Pinoleum Blinds by Appeal.

The back garden features an Alitex “Mottisfont” greenhouse, which takes pride of place amongst the raised beds, perfect for a kitchen garden, although they are currently used as a cutting garden, filled with roses, tulips, and flowers for the house. Adjoining the greenhouse is a west-facing terrace with a large firepit and sumptuous seating - the perfect place to watch the sun set behind the castle on a warm summer evening.

The charming annexe, Snape Castle Dovecote has a delightful private courtyard garden with wisteria, roses and private parking perfect for grandparents, guests, or what could be a lucrative holiday let.

Snape Castle Barn welcomes the perfect multi-generational living lifestyle, whether you have your parents living in the Dovecote, or perhaps your teen in the guest suite wing, this truly is an outstanding family home.
