This stunning property nestled amongst the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is the ideal rural retreat for families or friends looking to relax together and explore the delights of the surrounding area. With lush green countryside in all directions, there is an abundance of walking and cycling routes on your doorstep and beyond, allowing you to discover the natural beauty on offer. And with market towns, historic country houses, castles, woods and parkland landscapes, there is something for everyone in this picturesque area of England. Despite occupying a peaceful location, you are still only 2.5 miles from the pretty market town of Malton, also known as ‘Yorkshire's Food Capital', which has a range of eateries to suit all tastes and budgets.

 

Sympathetically renovated, this former barn is bursting with original features that are beautifully combined with contemporary design and traditional touches to create a unique, yet comfortable home. Large windows on the ground floor allow light to flood in and the neutral palette adds to the feeling of space, whilst warm wooden tones add comfort and class. It is one of two properties at this location.

 

On entering the property, you'll find yourself in the bright and airy entrance hall, which is the perfect place to discard muddy boots and wet coats. From here, head through into the spacious lounge/diner which has plenty of seating for everyone around the table and comfy sofas to sink into of an evening. As the underfloor heating warms your toes, relax and soak up the views of the countryside. Back through the hall, you'll find the well-equipped kitchen, which is a great spot for cooking up some treats for everyone.

 

Upstairs, the master king-size bedroom is large and luxurious and its en-suite shower room is modern with a quirky window adding character. There are two further bedrooms (a double and a twin), both of which have a charming blend of contemporary style and traditional furniture. A large bathroom completes the accommodation.

 

From the kitchen, you can access an immaculate walled garden with a patio area and furniture, making it an ideal spot for al fresco dining and a bottle of wine. Beyond the patio, there is an enclosed paddock for your dogs (or children) to stretch their legs. There is off-road parking for two cars.

 

  • 3 bedrooms – 1 king-size, 1 double and 1 twin (which can be made a super-king upon request at time of booking)

The cottage was excellent with the added bonus of the secure paddock for the dogs. Lovely owners provided a welcome hamper including a bottle of wine which was very much appreciated. They also provided basic kitchen items eg. dish washer tablets, clothes wash, washing up liquid, foil, bin liners and toilet roll. Excellent stay.
