Welcome to Crosby Garrett, a peaceful Yorkshire Dales village, rich in history and nestled between Kirkby Stephen and Appleby. Quiet and peaceful, save for the passing visits of the Flying Scotsman and other steam trains over the viaduct, travelling between Settle and Carlisle, Crosby Garrett's tranquillity was briefly rippled in 2008 when a metal detectorist discovered 68 pieces of folded metal which when restored revealed a Roman cavalry helmet, later selling at auction for over £2,000,000.

Currently run as an award-winning holiday let, only the highest compliments are paid to this warm and welcoming home, with guests remarking that life 'does not get better than this', noting how 'every home comfort and more' has been provided, and announcing that arriving at Beckside Barn is akin to 'stepping into a magazine home'.

Certainly, the moment you walk through the front door, the high level of finish and quality is revealed. Step through to the cloakroom on the right, where Lakeland slate is warmed by underfloor heating. A floating wash basin and WC are on hand.

Step onto the gleaming travertine limestone floor warmed by underfloor heating, its fossilized outlines provide nature's own unique pattern. Passing through the cosy snug seating area and library, where exposed beams extend above, step into the beautifully equipped kitchen.

Bespoke solid oak cabinets, hand-crafted by The Newcastle Furniture Company provide plentiful storage, their superior quality finished with finesse and attention to detail. An array of top of the range Miele appliances includes a bank of ovens incorporating a steam oven, a conventional fan oven, a further combination oven and grill, dishwasher, full height fridge, separate freezer and a built in bean to cup coffee machine, whilst an instant boiling Quooker tap is set above the undermounted sink with grooved drainage. Corian worktops extend seamlessly to a breakfast bar providing optimum preparation space and with built-in pantry cupboards, there is no need for clutter. Above the induction hob, the bespoke Westhouse extractor fan removes all traces of your olfactory epicurean escapades.

Watch the birds at the feeder as you prepare and eat breakfast; all year round it is visited by a fantastic variety of birds including nuthatches, woodpeckers and even the occasional red squirrel.

Sense the ancient origins of the barn in the arrowslit windows, whilst the organic evolution of this home is evident in the practical modern touches: the contemporary pendant lights and fitted cupboards opening to reveal the washer and dryer and shelving for laundry essentials.

From the dining area, tri folding glazed oak doors open to the patio beyond, perfect for indoor-outdoor summer dining.

Returning to the entrance hall, continue across to emerge into the main living room; a wow factor space as the double height ceiling rises to meet the galleried landing above.

Dressed in modern grey tones to the walls, and accessorised impeccably with stylish light fittings, natural light also flows through from the enormous floor to ceiling window, once the main barn door access. Solid oak flooring is in keeping with the epoch of the home, whose transition between ancient and modern architecture can be witnessed in its magnificent curves and deep-set windows where the depth of the walls is truly revealed. Note also the impressive media unit with television built in.

Flow through a glazed door into the sitting room, where high quality woollen cream carpet complements the serene styling. Taking centre stage, the stunning gas-operated fire bowl provides toasty warmth and evocative ambience in wintertime.

Shut all the doors to create several intimate and private spaces for relaxing or leave them open for total sociability and flow.

From the main living room, take the European oak staircase, handcrafted and installed by a local craftsman; plinth LED lighting guides you up to the first-floor landing. Sense the warmth from the Belgian Jaga radiators, where built-in Bluetooth allows each zone to be centrally controlled via a mobile phone app.

Herdwick wool carpet provides quality cushioning throughout the stairs and landing and on into the master bedroom to the right.

Fuchsia tones and Marrakech stylings create an intimate and inviting feel, with the central light feature suspended high up in the A-frame vaulted ceiling, coated in crisp white.

Low windows of different sizes create a cosy cottage ambience, framing views out to the countryside. Partitioned off from the bedroom is a sumptuous ensuite, with Lakeland slate to the floor and shower walls, and top of the range Hans Grohe German engineered sanitaryware featuring high quality fittings from the Starck Axor range. Underfloor heating exudes warmth.

Refresh beneath the rainfall of the double width shower fitted with drench shower head and handheld attachment. Natural light pours in through the Velux above with exposed beams painted white set above the wash basin and WC. Low level mood lighting is another handsome feature of this home.

Returning to the landing, continue along, following the curve of the wall and feature windows before arriving at bedroom three, decorated in duck egg blue and with sisal seagrass carpet. Light fills the high vaulted ceilings, drawn in via Velux windows and low arrowslit windows.

In the family bathroom next door, an enormous wall-mounted mirror amplifies the light for a spacious feel. Featuring high quality Phillip Starck and Villeroy & Boch fixtures and fittings, soak away your cares in the large bath with shower head attachment. Natural granite flooring extends underfoot, warmed by underfloor heating. Wash basin and WC are also of the highest quality finish.

Arrive now at bedroom two, a light-filled twin, with windows to two sides, overlooking the peaceful street ahead and framing elevations of Crosby Garrett Fell from the picture window.

Returning downstairs, step outside to the private and enclosed garden where a patio area opens out from the kitchen-diner, perfect for summer dining.

Landscape architect-designed, mature shrubs, low box hedging and raised beds brimming with varied shades of verdant, manicured shrubs add to the sense of seclusion within your own tropical oasis.

Follow the pathways as the butterflies weave by this 'all-year' garden, the planting is cleverly designed to ensure there is always a new pocket of interest to admire. Sunny and low maintenance, in spring the garden is bursting with colour and a true haven for wildlife.

The soundtrack to your serene afternoons is provided by birdsong and the babbling beck, which runs by to the rear.
