About this property

Welcome to Swift Barn, Knapton, something really special…

This is one of those homes that simply stops you in your tracks.

A truly outstanding barn conversion, beautifully interior designed and fully renovated by the current owners, blending character and contemporary living in a way that feels both effortless and incredibly stylish. Every detail has been considered  and it shows.

From the moment you step inside, you get that sense of space and light that barn conversions do so well. Think exposed beams, original features and beautiful textures, combined with a high-end finish that makes this a home ready to move straight into and enjoy.

At the heart of the home is the most stunning open-plan kitchen, living and dining space - and it really is the hub of the house. Designed for modern living, entertaining and everyday family life, it features a beautiful central island, quality cabinetry, sleek integrated appliances, a Rangemaster and elegant worktops. It’s a space you can immediately imagine filled with friends, family and life.

There’s a natural flow through to two further reception rooms, both flooded with light and offering flexibility - whether that’s cosy evenings in, a playroom, or a more formal sitting space.

A large separate utility and downstairs WC keep the practical side of life neatly tucked away.

Upstairs, the space continues to impress with five generous double bedrooms. One has been transformed into a spectacular home office  a brilliant, space that’s perfect for working from home but equally versatile as a bedroom if needed. Two further bedrooms enjoy their own en-suite bathrooms, and the main family bathroom is beautifully finished with a freestanding bath and separate shower


the kind of space you actually look forward to unwinding in at the end of the day.

Outside, the property sits within a lovely enclosed plot with a private garden - perfect for children, pets or simply enjoying the peace and quiet. There’s plenty of driveway parking along with two double garages, giving you all the space you could need.

And then there’s the location…

Set within the village of Knapton, you have that wonderful balance of countryside living with real convenience. There’s a great local pub, a real sense of community, and you’re surrounded by open countryside


perfect for walks straight from your doorstep.

At the same time, you’re incredibly well connected. York city centre, the railway station and the ring road are all within easy reach, making this a brilliant spot for commuters. You’re also ideally placed for a range of well-regarded local schools, making it a fantastic choice for families.

This is a home that offers space, style and lifestyle in equal measure  and one that’s very hard to replicate.
