Lying along the outskirts of the friendly village of Great Ayton, this beautifully converted former police station makes a fantastic getaway for couples and smaller families exploring an idyllic part of North Yorkshire. Just a mile from the edge of the spellbinding North York Moors National Park and within a couple of miles of Roseberry Topping, the property offers cosy, light-filled accommodation for up to four guests. Featuring a lovely hot tub, sumptuous furnishings and spacious living areas, this gated retreat provides a fantastic base for keen walkers and nature lovers discovering the Cleveland Hills and Easby Moor.
Passing through the gates to the entrance, the hallway has a beautiful stone floor and leads through to a bright and tasteful open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. With two sets of double doors, this inviting space has plenty of light, with a relaxing main lounge area, sleek kitchen and a sociable central dining area. The ground floor also offers a refreshing bathroom and the first of the cottage’s two comfortable bedrooms: a pretty twin room with a handy TV. The second bedroom is upstairs: a spacious king-size room with a TV, fitted wardrobes and a delightful en-suite shower room with a charming skylight. Stepping outside, the stylishly furnished courtyard provides a great spot to sit out and unwind, or you can head over to the fully covered hot tub.
