Offering a true escape to the country, this delightful rural retreat is perched on a hillside overlooking the village of Rosedale Abbey. Part of a traditional North York Moors longhouse, this peaceful property is surrounded by heather-clad moorland, while its location in the North York Moors National Park puts a number of walking and cycling routes at your doorstep. Ideal for walkers and dog owners, this charming property sleeps four, though it’s also perfect for a romantic break for two.
Light and bright with neutral tones and stone-flagged flooring, this is an inviting property with sublime views from every window. Toes are toasty in the cooler months with underfloor heating throughout, while the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner has a wood burner for extra cosiness in winter. Put all that lovely local produce to good use rustling up tasty treats in the chic, contemporary kitchen. Then settle around the dining table or dine alfresco in the lawned garden, watching springtime lambs frolic in the fields. There’s also a terrace and bench at the side of the property, perfect for a morning cuppa or evening sundowner listening to birdsong. When you’re feeling weary, get cosy under the covers in the two bedrooms; a few small steps separate the bedrooms and bathroom from the main living area.
The picture-perfect village of Rosedale Abbey is just over half a mile away, complete with a handful of pubs, a tearoom and local store, and a nine-hole golf course. It’s also the starting point for a number of walks and even holds an annual walking festival over a weekend in June. While the walks, wildlife and scenery of the North York Moors are the main attraction, the market towns of Pickering, Kirkbymoorside and Helmsley are within 13.5 miles, and if you fancy a day at the seaside, Whitby is 17 miles away.
