Skew Green Barn is a beautifully presented barn conversion which has been completely refurbished by the current owners to create a wonderful family home in a quiet yet accessible rural setting.
The design has centred on creating well-proportioned rooms with the focus on letting in as much light as possible and giving easy access to the wonderful garden setting. It includes bi-fold and French doors, large double glazed window openings, open plan spaces and floor to ceiling light wells. High quality modern materials and finishes compliment the traditional feel of the old stone barn with oak stair and flooring, original exposed beams and an impressive inglenook fireplace.
Skew Green Barn is located just outside the popular village of Carlton Husthwaite, along a private access road.
The village of Carlton Husthwaite lies close to the western edge of the Hambleton Hills and just outside the North Yorkshire Moors National Park with easy access to Thirsk (6 miles) and within about half an hour of York (20 miles).

The accommodation includes a delightfully welcoming reception hall, a bright and open staircase hall and has naturally flowing layout. An open plan kitchen, dining and living room is central to the house and a large yet cosy living room is a wonderful entertaining space. Additional snug/office, separate study and large utility and boot rooms make practical family living easy. The bedrooms are all of a good size with ample cupboard and storage space.
Fixtures and fittings are of the highest quality throughout with a bespoke designed and built kitchen by Grove House which includes marble worktops, integrated extractor fans, wine cooler and champagne chiller trough as well as the usual appliances. Bathrooms are luxurious with marble surrounds and panelling, a slipper bath and double sinks.
A former lean-to garage at the entrance to the house has been partially converted, providing even greater flexibility. It has both internal and external access doors so it could be used as a self-contained annex, additional guest bedroom and bathroom or workshop and garage depending on the needs of the occupying family.
Skew Green Barn lies in a site extending in total to about 0.88 acres. The house sits in the southeast corner of the plot with its extensive garden stretching west and north, catching the sun all day long. It is entirely enclosed by a mature high hedge and willow hurdle fencing providing privacy and shelter.
The main garden area covers an area over three quarters of an acre. It is linked to the house by a wide paved terrace with a raised pond at its centre. A sweeping central lawned is lined by deep, well-stocked borders and flower beds and there are various mature specimen trees providing structure and shade throughout. A special covered dining area ensures outside dining whatever the weather and which currently houses a hot tub.
On the south side of the house is a beautiful, recently landscaped courtyard garden which makes an ideal breakfast terrace. It has beds filled with lavender and herbs and espaliered fruit trees on the containing wall. It is accessible from the annex area as well as from the main house through French doors.
VIEWS-SUNSETS-PEACE-SPACE
We have loved living at Skew Green Barn. Its such a tranquil space which is easily accessible with long views, long walks and protected from any adverse weather by the hill. We have such privacy and adore the garden space that we have created which flows directly into the house.
The house is connected to mains water and electricity and has drainage to a shared private septic tank. Central heating and hot water are by oil fired boiler and back up immersion.
