Holiday in style at this beautifully designed cottage in Sheriff Hutton, a pretty village with a number of period homes, a friendly atmosphere, a coffee shop and a lovely pub, all within 500 metres. You’ll be surrounded by picturesque countryside, inviting you to pull on your walking boots (or board your bike) for long walks and cycles through the Howardian Hills (2 miles). This gorgeous terraced home is perfect for families and couples looking for a restorative break in the Yorkshire countryside.
The property, accessed via a few stone steps, has an elegant whitewashed facade giving a hint of the light-filled interior. The inside space is cosy and welcoming, with many original features still visible, such as wooden ceilings and a lovely exposed beam in the king-size bedroom. Its walls are painted in soothing colours which match perfectly with the soft furnishings and artwork for an elegant finish. In the welcoming lounge, a wood burner and a Smart TV promise comfort and entertainment after days spent adventuring. The kitchen/dining room is bathed in natural light from the patio doors and features quality wooden work surfaces along with views over the garden. Enjoy meals either at the circular table or, in good weather, in the enclosed courtyard.
When it’s time to explore your surroundings, the stately home at Castle Howard (5.5 miles) is wonderful for an afternoon out, with its dazzling grandeur and formal gardens. Flamingo Land Resort amusement park (15 miles) will likely be a hit with children, or you can enjoy a leisurely round of golf at the course 11.5 miles away. For an urban day out, head into York where you can admire ancient city walls and cobbled streets, as well as a variety of independent shops and cafes.
