This delightful, traditional detached cottage in the village of Beck Hole is ideal for families or groups of friends seeking a restful base close to local amenities and the attractions of North Yorkshire. Soak up the peace and tranquillity of the North York Moors National Park, starting with a stroll into picturesque Goathland (1 mile) and treat yourself to a cream tea, or hike the 3.5-mile trail to Grosmont, which traces the route of George Stephenson's original 1836 railway line.
Step inside this characterful two-storey property, store your outdoor gear in the porch, then head through to unwind in the inviting lounge. This characterful space has a homely feel with beautiful, beamed ceilings, plenty of comfortable seating and a Smart TV for entertainment. Cook up a storm in the contemporary kitchen, with all the necessary appliances, before enjoying an unhurried dinner by the crackling wood burner in the dining area. Upstairs you’ll find two cosy bedrooms – a king-size with views over the beck and an en-suite shower room and a handy twin - where you can drift off to sleep. A smart family shower room completes the interior layout. Outside, you’ll discover a small table and chairs to the side of the cottage, making this the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee. To the rear, you’ll find a lovely courtyard with a bench for relaxed al fresco dining. Private parking is available for two cars.
Further afield, head into Whitby (9.5 miles) to stroll along the sandy beach, lose yourself in its atmospheric cobbled streets or take the 199 steps to dramatic Whitby Abbey. Explore the Moors with a walk up to the magnificent Mallayan Spout (1.5 miles) or take a trip on the North York Moors Railway across to the market town of Pickering (15 miles).
