It’ll be love at first sight for guests at this beautiful couples’ bolthole. Complete with a cosy wood burner effect stove, a conservatory and a private walled garden, it’s the perfect holiday hideaway – there’s even a Juliet balcony to heighten the sense of romance!
Beautifully styled and supremely comfortable, this converted barn in the quiet village of Bellerby is bursting with romantic charm. Beamed ceilings, exposed stone walls and a wood burner add to the sense of intimacy in a holiday home that’s bright, light and easy to live in. From the entrance hall, you’ll find a fabulous lounge to one side with pretty sofas, a desk, a TV with a DVD player, plus a wood burner-effect gas heater within its striking inglenook fireplace. French doors lead from here into the conservatory where there’s seating and doors to the garden. Head in another direction from the hallway and you’ll be in the second main living room, an airy kitchen/diner with a contemporary farmhouse-style kitchen area and cosy dining space with a wood burner – fuel is provided! – and rustic dining suite. There’s both a shower room and a bathroom on the ground floor, the former in chic cottage style, the latter delivering a bold splash of colour, while the entire upper floor is taken up by a beautiful bedroom complete with a king-size bed with a Juliet balcony close by. Open the doors for a breath of fresh air and far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside. Pretty cottage-style planting continues the romantic theme in the private walled garden here; enjoy reconnecting with nature and one another as you sit outside.
Bellerby nestles among low hills at the end of Wensleydale and is 1.5 miles from the market town of Leyburn, much-loved for its independent shops, traditional pubs and antiques shops. Less than 8 miles to the north, Richmond is dominated by its Norman castle which occupies a commanding position above the River Swale.
