Stirton Burrow

A stone barn conversion in a quiet hamlet, Stirton Burrow has been thoughtfully restored with a contemporary interior while keeping its rural character. Set back from the road with its own parking, the property sits just over a mile from Skipton town centre, close enough for an evening walk into the high street yet far enough to feel entirely secluded. The owners live adjacent, but the barn is yours alone.

Inside, an open-plan ground floor combines living space, kitchen and dining area around a woodburner; upstairs is a galleried sitting room with quieter views over the garden. One bedroom holds a super king bed, and there's a shower room with a walk-in cubicle. The kitchen has an electric range and all essentials for cooking. Bed linen, towels and wi-fi are provided, along with initial logs for the stove and a welcome pack. Heating comes from electric central system throughout.

The garden wraps around the property with a patio, lawn and furniture; a private hot tub lets you soak year-round. A shop and restaurant are half a mile away on foot, a pub about a mile. Skipton itself offers its Norman castle, market hall, canal walks and various dining options. The Dales' footpaths start from the door. One well-behaved pet can stay free, and smoking is not permitted.
