Extraordinary views are matched by sublime comfort in this spacious getaway, which has room for couples, friends or families. Despite its elevated, secluded location, the house is within easy reach of Ampleforth and its amenities, as well as excellent walking and cycling routes all around.
This handsome property, set over two storeys, offers spacious, high-quality accommodation. At its heart is a high-specification, open-plan kitchen/diner, from which you’ll have panoramic rural views as you enjoy your meals. Everything necessary for gourmet cooking is on hand, including a microwave and a dishwasher. The lounge provides a relaxed space to unwind with the Smart TV, perhaps lighting the wood burner in the cooler months, while the cosy snug offers an alternative option for quiet moments, or additional sleeping space using the sofa bed. Upstairs, the three charming bedrooms share two bathrooms: a family bathroom on the first floor (with both a bath and a separate shower) and a handy shower room on the ground floor. In the enclosed rear garden, expansive lawns and two terrace seating areas create an exceptional setting for al fresco drinks, BBQs, games and long summer evenings gazing at the views.
The cottage is located just outside Ampleforth, half a mile from the village’s shop and two pubs. Its position at the meeting point of the North York Moors and the Howardian Hills makes it a great choice for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers, with endless options for exploring scenic landscapes in the fresh air. You can reach the market towns of Easingwold and Helmsley within 9.5 miles, while charming Thirsk, 12 miles away, offers great shops around its cobbled market square and a wide variety of places to eat and drink. For a cultural day trip, the incredible stately home of Castle Howard is 18.5 miles away.
