Janus House, a much-loved family home with gorgeous gardens, is now on the market for the first time in a quarter of a century.
The 3,600 sq.ft barn conversion, for sale with Blenkin and Co. for £700,000, is in the Yorkshire Wolds village of Skerne, a short drive from Beverley.
The property is packed with character, including exposed beams and brickwork, period-style fireplaces, traditional panelled doors and rustic architraves and skirting boards.
The timber from the staircase is believed to have come from the Liverpool docks and the handrails from a public house in Driffield.
The beautiful interiors have been decorated using Farrow & Ball paints and include a double height reception hall and galleried first floor landing, a kitchen/breakfast room, a formal dining room, a morning room, orangery and a 22ft living room with Inglenook fireplace and multi-fuel stove.
Upstairs the whole of the first floor is double height rising into the eaves. There is a principal bedroom suite with en suite shower room, three further bedrooms and a bathroom..
Outside are three barns, a gym/office, double garage, greenhouse and glorious gardens.
