Rarely do we see such a superb architectural blending of old and new, brought together in perfect and practical unison to give rise to a property that is at once authentic and luxurious. The singular qualities of this exquisite barn have been enhanced by contemporary styling and the impact of new craftsmanship that is evident in boundless qualities throughout this build. Its scale is as impressive as its setting; the glorious Yorkshire Wolds fill the landscape and provide uninterrupted views from the drawing room and master bedroom suite, making East Barn such an enticing property for the discerning country house buyer. East Barn nestles within an appealing rural community between the food capital of the wolds, Malton and the market town of Beverley. The efficient road network provides rapid access to many destinations; York, Beverley and Hull can be reached within little more than half an hour and the market towns of Malton, Pocklington and Driffield, all within 15 minutes. The coast and the North York Moors are also within an enjoyable drive away.
