Set within approximately three acres of beautifully landscaped grounds on the edge of the picturesque village of Melsonby, Mill Garth is an exceptional stone-built residence that seamlessly blends traditional charm with refined, contemporary living. Formerly a historic agricultural building, this striking barn conversion with a separate annexe has been transformed into an elegant and highly functional family home through meticulous renovation and the use of premium materials.
The property is introduced via a secure, electric-gated driveway that leads to an expansive gravel courtyard, offering ample parking alongside two garages, a carport, and a stylish modern outbuilding housing a gym, store, and office space. The gardens that surround the home are a true highlight—immaculately maintained and thoughtfully designed to maximise privacy and enjoyment, with defined seating areas, an outdoor kitchen complete with black quartz worktops, and a separate paddock.
Internally, the main house is a showcase of character and craftsmanship. Original architectural features such as slit windows, exposed timber beams, and vaulted ceilings are thoughtfully paired with high-spec finishes including Ca’ Pietra stone floors and underfloor heating throughout the ground floor. The generous living spaces are warm and welcoming, with a feature log-burning stove in the snug and an imposing stone inglenook fireplace in the formal dining room.
The kitchen, designed and handmade by Dixon & Cowton, is a statement in both style and practicality. It features hand-painted cabinetry, natural quartzite surfaces, a central island with breakfast seating, integrated appliances, oil and electric AGA, and a built-in Bose audio system. Light floods in from a wall of windows overlooking the gardens, further elevating the space.
On the first floor, two beautifully appointed double bedrooms each enjoy en-suite bathrooms finished to an exceptional standard, complete with Porter bathrooms and Catchpole & Rye roll-top baths. The principal suite benefits from a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, and stunning countryside views from a charming window seat.
A detached annexe offers highly versatile accommodation ideal for multigenerational living, guest quarters, or a luxury home office. The ground floor includes a sitting room and double bedroom with en-suite, while the first floor provides a substantial office or studio with a Velux balcony window and engineered oak flooring.
Location:
Mill Garth enjoys a prime, secluded position just outside the sought-after village of Melsonby, one of North Yorkshire’s most charming and well-connected rural communities. The surrounding area provides a superb lifestyle balance—peaceful countryside surroundings with convenient access to key transport links and local amenities.
Melsonby itself offers a range of essentials including a primary school and a well-regarded village pub, while the nearby market towns of Richmond and Barnard Castle provide a broader selection of independent shops, cafés, supermarkets, and cultural attractions.
Commuters are excellently placed. Scotch Corner (A1(M)) is just 3 miles away, giving swift access north and south, while the A66 allows easy travel across the Pennines. Darlington railway station, under 10 miles away, offers direct services on the East Coast Main Line, connecting to London and Edinburgh. For international travel, Teesside, Newcastle, and Leeds Bradford airports are all within comfortable reach.
The area is also perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, with the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors National Parks offering miles of hiking, cycling, and scenic exploration. Highly regarded state and independent schools, including Barnard Castle School, are also within easy access.
