Country Hideaways | Turnsyke Barn | Middleham

Sitting at the west end of the unspoilt village of Newbiggin in Bishopdale, Turnsyke Barn has been recently converted from a traditional dales barn into a pretty two bedroomed property to sleep 3 plus 1 dog.

Entry at the front is to a tiled hallway giving access to the comfortable living room with multi-fuel stove to the left and a well-equipped Shaker style kitchen/diner to the right. Both the living room and the kitchen view out over the garden and have window seats for you sit and enjoy the birds coming and going through the seasons. Off the kitchen to the rear is a hall with stairs rising to the first floor and a doorway to the patio and terraced garden with lush borders and lawns. The elevated position of the upper terrace affords beautiful views to the surrounding fields and fells.

The stairway leads to a landing which serves two bedrooms and the bathroom. The larger room has a king-size bed and the smaller has a single bed with additional stacker bed, if needed for a child. Next to this bedroom is a bathroom with bath, shower over the bath, washbasin and toilet. The upstairs is lofted to the roof apex displaying the original beams and rafters which enhance the rooms. There are also a number of small windows and external stone steps to the larger bedroom which are a remnant of the days when the loft was used to store hay.

This is a lovely barn conversion with many original features. The use of panelling along with pine furnishings and original beams give the property a cosy, warm feeling with all the modern comforts of home. A perfect base to get away and explore Bishopdale, Wensleydale, Wharfedale and beyond.
