Old Mill, Osmotherley, DL6 3QG

A truly exceptional two-bedroom character home, occupying an enviable position in the highly sought-after village of Osmotherley. Beautifully blending traditional charm with modern efficiency, this impressive stone-built property has undergone an extensive, no-expense-spared renovation, having been stripped back to its four walls and comprehensively rebuilt and upgraded throughout.

The result is a unique home where the character of the original building has been carefully retained, with exposed beams, stonework and traditional architectural details sitting effortlessly alongside a high-quality contemporary finish. The property also benefits from a highly efficient NIBE air-source heating system, bringing modern energy efficiency to this charming period home.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a home where the major renovation work has already been undertaken to an exacting standard: Character, craftsmanship and modern efficiency combine to create an outstanding village home that really does need to be viewed to be fully appreciated.

This is another luxury detached home, available through Kathryn Barr Estate Agents and early viewing is highly recommended.
