Positioned in the peaceful countryside near Malton, The Old Wheelhouse is a truly distinctive home, one of the very few surviving wheelhouses to have been converted for residential use. Believed to have been transformed in 1995 and thoughtfully updated by the current owners from 2018 onwards, this remarkable property blends the rustic charm of a traditional barn conversion with modern finishes, set within beautiful gardens and grounds approaching three-quarters of an acre.

Stepping inside, you are welcomed by a stunning slate-floored entrance hall leading to a convenient cloakroom.

The heart of the home is the impressive original wheelhouse sitting room, a stunning space with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, original brickwork and an inglenook fireplace housing a log-burning stove. French doors frame views over the front garden, while fitted bookcases and wood-effect flooring add to the room’s warmth and character.

The open-plan kitchen and dining area is equally inviting, designed and fitted by bespoke kitchen fitters ‘Hand Made Kitchen Company of Pickering. The kitchen features high-quality shaker-style cabinetry, 30mm granite work surfaces, a Belfast sink, and a large central island with breakfast seating. A range-style oven is set into an original brick fireplace recess, a nod to the building’s heritage, while integrated appliances provide every modern convenience. A stable door opens directly to the rear courtyard.

A striking galleried landing links the first floor, where the principal bedroom enjoys exposed beams, bespoke fitted wardrobes, and its own en-suite with a walk-in shower and underfloor heating.
Two further bedrooms, both doubles, are served by a contemporary house bathroom with a separate bath, a separate shower cubicle, and a heated towel rail.

Outside, the gardens have been beautifully landscaped, with lawns, mature planting, patios, and seating areas designed to enjoy the countryside.

Directly opposite the house lies a private 0.6-acre paddock, planted with fruit and broadleaf trees and featuring a timber-framed summerhouse, ideal for entertaining, hobbies, or simply relaxing in nature.

The remainder of the grounds includes additional planting, a wooden shed, a greenhouse, and a gravel driveway leading to the property's integral garage with power and lighting.

The property is approached via a private track, offering ample parking for multiple vehicles. An oil-fired combi boiler provides central heating and instant hot water, while CCTV security covers both the house and the copse.

Perfectly positioned between Malton, Kirkbymoorside and Scarborough, Great Barugh offers a peaceful rural setting with excellent access to market towns, the North York Moors, and the coast.
