Petrus House is a £359,990 three-bedroom barn conversion on Cooper Lane in the village of Potto near Hutton Rudby and Stokesley
Character properties always catch the eye and are often something very special.
This week’s Dream Home is no exception.
For it was its quirky nature, vaulted ceilings and oodles of charm that first drew its owners to it - and they’ve loved living there.
You’ll find Petrus House on Cooper Lane in the village of Potto near Hutton Rudby and Stokesley. A semi-detached, three-bedroom barn conversion, part of the house dates back to the 1800s and the owners believe it was used as stables at one point.

They moved in two years ago and set about redesigning the rooms and putting their own stamp on the place creating a charming home filled with talking point spaces from the new farmhouse style kitchen to the Inglenook fireplace to the cast iron spiral staircase.
A new bathroom has been put in too - with a roll top bath just perfect for a spot of relaxation.
“The kitchen is one of our favourite rooms, it is a big open space,” says the owner. “We have family time in here, eat and socialise. It’s a very functional space.
“There’s lots of open living space and lots of square footage.”
She can be entertaining friends in one room, she laughs, while her other half is watching football in the other.
So what’s inside?
The entrance hall boasts parquet flooring and the feature spiral staircase up to the first floor. There’s an Inglenook-style fireplace in the lounge with a multi fuel burner followed by another sitting room with a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and feature bookshelves.
The 16ft by 14ft kitchen breakfast room is another eye catching space. There’s a stone floor, a mix of fitted units with granite worktops and a large island unit with a reclaimed wood worksurface. Two column radiators bring a contemporary feel and there’s a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams adding charm and character.
Access is open to the dining room with a feature wine store leading off it.
The ground floor is also home to a study and a utility room as well as a bedroom with its own en suite.
Two bedrooms, both with exposed beams, and a bathroom with a roll top slipper bath sit on the first floor.
Outside, the garden at the back of the house has a lawn, patio, shrubs and a summer house and there is a parking bay for two cars.
“We’ve been here for two years, we loved its quirkiness and vaulted ceilings,” adds the owner. “Since moving in we redesigned all of the rooms and opened the kitchen up by taking walls down and installing a huge island unit. We also installed a new bathroom with a roll top bath.”
The village location has much to recommend it too. Potto is set in the countryside but with good commuting links and close to the charms of Stokesley and Yarm.
With plans for a new business opportunity, however, the owners have taken the decision to put their home on to the market.
Petrus House in Potto is for sale with a price tag of £359,990. For more information, contact the Stokesley office of estate agent Your Move Scott-Collier Taylor on 01642 711570.
