8 Bedroom House in Bilbrough, York
Summary:
The Carriage House is a stunning converted barn in the beautiful North Yorkshire village of Bilbrough. Two separate apartments and two studios with a total of six bathrooms and eight bedrooms. Sitting rooms all have sofa beds or foldaway Jay-Be beds. There are plenty of walks in open countryside to be enjoyed. Only 6 miles into York and 10 mins by car from the Designer Outlet village. Five minutes from The Normans wedding venue, ten minutes from Woolas Barn and Hornington Manor wedding venues.
The Space:
200 year old barn - originally a Carriage House, set in beautiful open countryside yet only two minutes from the A64 and five miles from York. Ideally located for York Races and a three minute drive from The Normans wedding venue. A ten minute drive from Woolas Barn wedding venue in Appleton Roebuck. Twelve minutes from Priory Cottages (Wighill) and the same from Hornington Manor (Bolton Percy).
Please note that The Carriage House is over 200 years old. It is not a modern building! We have retained as many original features as possible. Sound can travel between the apartments; we clearly state this and ask for 'quiet hours' in our house rules. If you are looking for accommodation that is a sound-proof box then this might not be for you. You might hear footsteps from above and/or below and possibly the sound of a tv. That said, the only noise you will hear externally is the sound of owls and foxes and possibly a tractor. There are no rowdy pub/club goers, very (very!) little traffic and no sirens or music.
The Carriage House is made up of two separate apartments and two self-contained studios - all within the same building. Apartment One is on the ground floor, Apartment Two is on the first floor and Studios 3A and 3B are on the second floor. There is one door to the building and then separate doors into each apartment/studio. There is one communal stairway. There are seven bedrooms in total, three in Apartment One, two in Apartment Two, one in Studio 3A and one in Studio 3B. One of the bedrooms in Apartment One is a bunk bed room, more suitable for children, but every apartment has a double sofa bed or a pair of trundle beds. For getting together, guests booking The Carriage House have use of our Hygge Room which is the one in the photos with the donkey picture! This room can seat 14/18 people and is a few paces from the main door to The Carriage House. The use of this is included in the price you pay when you book The Carriage House but not if you book individual apartments. We also have some gardens which are about 50m from The Carriage House and are fully enclosed. These are also free to use. Seating. bbqs and gazebos can be provided on request.
Apartment Two - two bedrooms (one with a king sized bed and one with twin beds). Two bathrooms. Trundle bed in the sitting room (two singles).
Apartment One - four bedrooms. Double bedroom, second double bedroom with room off with bunk beds. Twin room on mezzanine level above second double bedroom. Two bathrooms. Sofa bed in the sitting room. We recommend this apartment for families or guests who know each other as three of the bedrooms adjoin.
Studio 3A - studio design with king sized bed in the sleeping area and also a pull out sofa bed. Full kitchen and modern shower room (please note, maximum height in the shower is 6'2").
Studio 3B - studio design with superking sized bed in the sleeping area and a clic-clac sofa bed in the seating area (would sleep two children easily, two adults at a push). Full, separate kitchen and spacious bathroom.
The apartments can be booked individually but please note that The Hygge Room is only included if both the apartments and both the studios are booked on this listing.
