BUYERS looking for a spacious family home that offers something a little different in a stunning setting will find The Moongate has much to delight.
A partial barn conversion in the popular Yorkshire Dales National Park village of West Witton, it is not only deceptively spacious but has substantial gardens, a wonderful outlook and solar panels that help to reduce both energy costs and the property's carbon footprint.
Briefly, the accommodation comprises a spacious boot room/morning room/dining room with stone flagged floor and French doors into the garden, a cloakroom and a utility room with an area of exposed plaster bearing an inscription dating back to 1851 and paddle steps that lead up to an office/craft room above.
The kitchen is home to a range of Silestone-topped fitted units, a travertine tiled floor and French doors to the side which lead into the east garden. At the heart of the space is a large central island.
A double-sided wood burner is shared between the kitchen and the sitting room which also has French doors onto a south-facing walled garden. Off the sitting room is a pitched ceiling office which could also be used as a library, craft/play room or snug plus a further west-facing sitting room that gets the late afternoon/evening sun and has a door leading out to the front courtyard. This area also contains a separate shower room.
A timber staircase with feature balustrade leads up to a first floor where there are three double bedrooms, each with timber flooring and a lovely outlook across the gardens, plus two light-filled bathrooms, one of which is home to a luxurious semi-freestanding bath.
The house is complemented by delightful gardens enclosed by dry stone walled boundaries. Extending to 0.59 acres in total these include a vegetable patch, orchard, lawn, patio areas, a range of fruit bushes and trees, a large potting shed and a greenhouse. A stream weaves through the garden.
