About this property
Stunning Barn Conversion With Lovely views of Traditional Village Green
The barn is located in Nun Monkton a traditional village in beautiful Yorkshire Countryside, just ten minutes from the York Park and Ride, so you can enjoy the best of both worlds, sampling village life and everything that York has to offer too. Cottages are dotted round a maypole and duck ponds, and footpaths give you direct access over the meadows to the rivers for long riverside walks. Round your walk off with a drink or meal at the village pub, The Alice Hawthorn. York, Harrogate, The Yorkshire Moors and The Dales are all short drives away. There is an excellent farm shop at Pool Bridge Farm near the bridge which specialises in local meat. There is a well stocked small Asda supermarket at the filling station on the A59 at the top of Pool Lane. If you regularly shop on the internet, both Sainsburys, Morrisons and Tesco deliver to the village. Small well behaved dogs are welcome.

About the host
Hosted by Ms Boo Orman
I have lived in Nun Monkton for over 40 years and had a Good Food Guide recommended restaurant in York . When I retired from the demands of restaurant life, I become involved in the wine trade and was a tutor for the Wine and Spirit Education Trust. My travels have taken me all over the world and there is still a lot more to see. I am a keen gardener; play golf and love walking in the North Yorkshire Moors, Wolds and Dales with friends.
Why they chose this property
Reasons for buying property in this location
I arrived in Yorkshire 40 years ago by accident having sold a restaurant in Essex. I was staying with friends who suggested I looked at a cottage in Nun Monkton which was for sale. I fell in love with the place, bought it, opened and restaurant in York and kept a horse in the barn. When the restaurant was sold it was clear something drastic had to be done to stop the barn falling down. I took a gamble and embarked on a full scale conversion. The horse had to go, but I have had a lot of happy guests in his place since.

What makes this property unique
Nun Monkton is the most glorious village and I count myself very lucky to live here. Apart from the charm of the place, with its maypole, duck ponds, a church boasting pre Raphaelite stained glass windows and a pub with fabulous food, we are just ten minutes from a York Park and Ride and have easy access to the North York’s Moors and The Dales. The grade 2 listed barn is carefully converted, warm and cosy with a log burning stove and great views over the village green and open country.
I am on hand in case of emergencies but know too that privacy is important. Friends and family often stay in the barn and they are my fiercest critics. If it's good enough for my 90 year old mother ......
