This stone-built, three-storey period house with its own spa is a superb choice for a memorable get-together, full of charm and high-quality details. Combining two fantastic properties into one, while maintaining the building’s original character, this is the perfect Yorkshire base for large groups of friends and families seeking luxury and adventure. Set on the village green in the heart of the vibrant market town of Richmond, guests have a wide choice of appealing boutiques, galleries and welcoming pubs, restaurants and cafes. Walkers will love the waterside trails along the nearby River Swale (100 metres), while just 1 mile away, the fringes of the Yorkshire Dales set the perfect scene for outdoor adventures. Culture vultures should head to popular Tupgill Park (13 miles) where 500 acres of hidden tunnels, follies, chambers and even a Forbidden Corner await. Another fun day out awaits at the races in Catterick, only 5 miles away.
A former Sunday school, this Grade II-listed property combines original features with modern amenities, striking artworks and chic furnishings, making it a welcoming, comfortable place where everyone can relax and have fun. It’s composed of two apartments, each sleeping six, which have been seamlessly joined to create one spacious holiday destination. Step up and into the ground floor, where you’ll find the first of several places in which to chill out and recharge – a gorgeous lounge with an array of seating, a Smart TV and an open fire. Alternatively, there’s the handsome conservatory/dining room, with a lofty ceiling and masses of natural light, which makes an irresistible space, not just for extra-special mealtimes, but for board games or snuggling up on the comfy sofas. Next door is a fully equipped, galley-style kitchen where you’ll find all you need to whip up a feast for the group. Completing the ground floor are three sumptuous bedrooms, two king-size rooms and a welcoming double, served by a family bathroom with a free-standing bath, and a convenient wet room. Head upstairs to discover the second living space and uncover a delightful, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with vibrant decor and more natural light. Comfy seating is arranged around a coal-effect electric fire and Smart TV – perfect for cosy movie nights together. Behind this, a fantastic kitchen with a country-style dining table offers more space for cooking up well-deserved meals for the group. Completing this floor are two delightful bedrooms – a king-size room and a bunk room with beds suitable for adults – as well as a well-equipped family shower room. The adventure continues as you follow a final staircase which leads to a mezzanine-style, king-size bedroom overlooking the living space, setting the scene for relaxation with its sofa, Smart TV and en-suite bathroom with a gorgeous claw-foot bath.
An extra-special feature of this amazing property is the private spa in the back garden. Step through the patio doors and you’ll find a hot tub for eight, ideal for soaking in the bubbles after a day out hiking or cycling. You can also fire up the BBQ and enjoy dining alfresco. In addition, there’s a sauna and a cold plunge, along with a stunning Himalayan salt wall that’s said to bring further health benefits. After time spent here, you’ll feel incredibly relaxed. While no private parking is available, on-street parking is available in the surrounding streets, and there are several public car parks nearby.
