This tastefully converted 17th-century countryside property boasts a blissfully secluded setting in the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Sleeping 17 guests across eight bedrooms, this spacious abode is perfect for celebratory family gatherings or reunions with friends, plus up to five waggy-tailed companions. Coax out reluctant teens, curious youngsters, and avid historians alike with a visit to the ancient ruins of Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Garden (3.5 miles) before returning home to indulge in an al fresco soiree on the leafy patio.
This chic country home features a tastefully styled interior with exposed stone and wood textures, earthy neutral tones, and wonderfully spacious social areas. Slip off shoes by the door and pad along the heated floor into the airy farmhouse kitchen. Rustle up a feast on the glossy stone worktops overlooking the lush garden. On balmy evenings, throw open the patio doors to let the summer breeze spill inside. Pop some fizz then congregate around the grand dining table for a celebratory supper. Sprawl out on the plush sofa for a family games night and bask in the warmth of the crackling wood burner. Peruse the book collection, curl up for a read, or slink away to the snug to enjoy a film on the Smart TV. Downstairs, gear up for a game of pool in the characterful games room. When night falls, discover eight tranquil bedrooms each brimming with elegant country flair. Outdoors, explore 10 acres of lush farmland, get grilling on the charcoal BBQ, toast a sweet treat over the crackling fire pit, or get competitive in the stone games barn.
Kit up for a scenic cycle along the leafy bridleways leading directly from the property then refuel with a post-adventure pint at the local pub in Grantley (1 mile). Browse the artisan offerings at the weekly market in Ripon (5 miles) or tee off on the tranquil grounds of Masham Golf Club (8 miles).
