This attractive stone property is ideal for a family – or two couples – wanting a rural base to explore the glorious North York Moors National Park. With cosy open-plan living accommodation and a large outdoor terrace, there’s plenty of space for everyone in this smart and welcoming home from home.
Set within a holiday park’s grounds, this two-bedroom house sleeps four, with the option of a fifth person thanks to a sofa bed in the lounge. So, it’s super flexible and convenient. Cleverly restored, the historic stone exterior leads into a space where crisp and modern decor and furnishings blend seamlessly with blonde wood and beams to make for a really comfortable stay in an elegant space. The living area effortlessly incorporates the modern kitchen, dining table and lounge, making it easy to keep tabs on any junior members of your party. Outside, you have your very own spacious patio for early morning cuppas or evening sundowners – and everything in between. There’s off-road parking for two cars, too.
Get your outdoor gear on and join a walking trail or bridleway leading off the public footpath running through the farmstead where this cottage is located. The North York Moors are on your doorstep, as is the pretty Cleveland Way. Take a leisurely look at Northallerton (7 miles) or Thirsk (6 miles) where you can stock up, shop or enjoy eateries and cafes. Further afield, Ripon (19 miles) is a small and charming city that serves as something of a cultural and heritage hub. York is 29 miles away but has loads to offer all ages, including walking the old city walls, shopping in the atmospheric Shambles, finding peace in York Minster and visiting the free-to-enter National Railway Museum. The latter might sound nerdy, but it’s fascinating with something for everyone.
