IF YOU are after history but with a modern twist, head for Barlby. Church Barn is a prestigious and individually-built four-bedroom converted barn.

Although parts of it date back about 300 years, it has been converted and extended by Hogg The Builder.

There is plenty of space, some wonderful period features, but some creature comforts too, to bring your home into the 21st century.

Church Barn is entered through a galleried hallway with polished oak flooring, which leads to a double aspect lounge with double glazed windows. There is a feature fireplace with a wood surround and tiled inserts and coving.

The kitchen/dining room features a solid wood fitted kitchen with matching wall and base units and worktops. There is an integral dishwasher, fridge and freezer and a utility room with space for a washing machine.

The formal dining room boasts French doors to the side and there is a study with a living flame gas fire and a door to the rear garden.

There is a feature beamed ceiling in the master bedroom, and en-suite dressing room and an en-suite bathroom with a four-piece white suite.

Bedrooms two, three and four also have feature beamed ceilings, while bedroom two has an en-suite shower room.

There is a family bathroom with a modern, white four-piece suite and a shower/room WC too.

Outside, there is a low-maintenance front garden with flower and shrub borders and a block paved courtyard, a double garage and an enclosed rear garden with a lawned area, a feature sculpted patio, flower and shrub borders and fence boundaries.

Barlby is about 12 miles south of York and within one mile of Selby. There are local shops, a library, primary and secondary school, post offices and two public houses.
