This stylish property, less than a mile's walk from Fountains Abbey, Water Gardens and Studley Deer Park, is ideal for families, friends and two faithful pups seeking a peaceful retreat with easy access to local amenities and Yorkshire outdoor adventures. Ripon (3 miles) offers scenic riverside and canal walks, as well as plenty of dog-friendly eateries.

This beautiful, converted barn retains many of its original features, such as exposed stone walls and striking wooden trusses. These characterful elements seamlessly sit alongside carefully chosen decor and contemporary comforts, such as cosy underfloor heating. Follow your top dogs into the entrance hall and through to the heart of the home; a spacious, light-filled lounge/kitchen/diner with patio doors, skylights, and a vaulted ceiling. At one end is a bespoke kitchen area with all the appliances you need to prepare delicious meals, which you can share around the kitchen island or at the dining table. After dinner, unwind in the comfortable lounge area to watch a movie on the Smart TV or head upstairs to the mezzanine snug to read. The property has three inviting ground-floor super-king-size bedrooms, each with unique styling and one is en-suite. Two additional chic shower rooms complete the interior features. Outside, relax on the patio at the front of the property, where you can dine alfresco, light the fire pit and admire the marvellous countryside views. A small courtyard area with seating at the rear is the perfect spot for a quiet morning coffee. There is ample private parking.

The property is 10 miles from the spa town of Harrogate, where your pups will sniff out adventures in Valley Gardens and go mutts in The Stray. Explore the fascinating geological site at Brimham Rocks (6 miles) and set tails wagging with a walk at picturesque Nidd Gorge (10.5 miles).

I do not think it would be fair to provide a review for your website. The barn a absolutely stunning but there is still work needed to have it fully functional ie underfloor heating, water temperature in showers, external bins etc
