With far-reaching rural views and surrounded by scenic walks, this welcoming cottage is ideal for groups of friends or large families looking for a tranquil escape with easy access to North Yorkshire’s excellent attractions. After busy days exploring the local area, head home to enjoy the warmth of the wood burner or relax in the garden as the sun sets.
This handsome hideaway, set on a traditional working farm, is a wonderful blend of modern comfort with period features such as stone floors, rustic beams and the occasional internal step. The lounge boasts an inglenook fireplace with a wood burner, surrounded by comfortable seating, while the snug provides another option for a quiet retreat or as a play space for children. A well-planned kitchen with granite worktops and an array of appliances opens into a farmhouse-style dining room. Upstairs, three spacious and beautifully styled bedrooms enjoy lovely countryside views. The king-size room has an en-suite shower room, while the two other bedrooms share an elegant family bathroom with a large bath. The front garden, filled with fruit trees, offers a tranquil place to sit (or swing in the hammock) and enjoy the fresh air. Another benefit of this impressive property is private parking for three cars.
This is a haven for walkers, and you can set out from your front door to explore the many footpaths which surround the farm, admiring the views of the Kilburn White Horse as you go. Just 2 miles away in the charming village of Helperby is a welcoming pub, while Thirsk, 9 miles away, has a variety of independent shops and an intriguing museum about the renowned vet James Herriot. Newby Hall, 8 miles away, is a stately home with gardens, an adventure playground, a miniature railway and a sculpture park.
