The property

Thirsk 4 miles, Northallerton 5 miles.

The Barn @ Ivy House is a simply beautiful, stone-built barn conversion nestled into the countryside of Borrowby, between Northallerton and Thirsk.

With beautiful countryside views and tastefully-decorated interiors, this wonderful abode offers a simply dreamy base for friends and families looking to explore the wonders of North Yorkshire.

Park up, and be welcomed into a light and airy home-away-from-home, discovering an open-plan living space with large glass sliding doors and skylights.

This space encourages guests to cook up a storm in the well-equipped kitchen, a contemporary space with a real feel of opulence.

Guests can indulge in a hearty meal at the dining table, with views out across the south-westerly facing garden, before cosying up in the sitting area to rest their feet.

When the sun is shining, throw open the glass doors and head out into the garden, where you will find a patio which is ideal for alfresco dining, so why not enjoy a glass of your favourite beverage in the fresh air?

When sleep calls, three stunning bedrooms await your rest, so choose between a ground-floor super-king-size with bath which can be set up as a twin on request, a super-king-size with en-suite shower room, and a twin.

When you are ready to explore, head out to the traditional market towns of Northallerton and Thirsk.
