An exceptional farmhouse with luxurious and elegant interiors set in peaceful Yorkshire countryside providing an ideal retreat for a family celebration any time of year.
Head to this breathtaking former Yorkshire farmhouse to treat yourselves to outstanding accommodation, luxuriate in exquisite interiors and immerse yourselves in picturesque countryside. Set on the fringes of Gilling West, 3 miles from Richmond, the sumptuous holiday home is also just over 3 miles from the Yorkshire Dales National Park and 21 miles from the North York Moors. Sleeping up to 12 guests and with gorgeous gardens and a hot tub, the exceptional abode could suit two or three families together or a group with a special occasion to celebrate.
Set off from here on long walks right from the doorstep. Stroll into the village to dine out on a home-cooked meal at a pub or venture into Richmond to discover its many unique attractions, including its abundance of independent shops and eateries. Head to the market town of Barnard Castle, 12 miles away, which also has everything a shopaholic craves, from boutique stores and fine art galleries to artisan food producers and antiques shops galore. See the fortress itself which is set on a high rock above the River Tees.
Wander through the arched farmhouse wall and delightful front garden to let yourselves into this impressive country house. Step inside to discover a stunning, spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where enormous expanses of glass pull the rural views right into the contemporary space. A dual-aspect wood burner sits at the heart of this gorgeous room, ready to be stoked up for relaxing nights in, so you can recline on the comfortable seating, switch on the Smart TV and unwind in the ambience of its cosy glow. On warm summer days, pull open the great glass doors instead so everyone can amble outside.
Wander over to the cutting-edge kitchen area to take turns at preparing sumptuous feasts for your hungry hordes. Roast tasty Yorkshire puddings and locally grown potatoes in the range-style oven, pausing to enjoy a glass of wine at the breakfast bar as it sizzles slowly. Serve delicious Sunday lunches up at the long table through in the orangery/diner and then make the most of having a dishwasher afterwards.
Find two of your fabulous bedrooms are also downstairs. These include a king-size bedroom and a super-king-size bedroom, each with a stunning, free-standing, copper bath in the room and an exquisite, en-suite shower room, featuring a bespoke stone handbasin. The four remaining bedrooms, which are just as beautifully and individually designed, can be found upstairs. Here you’ll find two king-size beds, one super-king-size bed and a super-king zip-and-link bed that can be arranged as a twin if discussed in advance, and all with en-suite shower rooms.
Luxuriate in the outside space at this incredible property too. To the front, find you have a delightful, enclosed courtyard with outdoor furniture and a hot tub, where you can bubble and steam after each busy day out. To the other side is a wonderful patio with wide open views of the fields beyond. Light the BBQ here on balmy summer evenings, sit out here as the sun goes down and the clear night sky fills with stars. Guests are also very welcome to wander the wider grounds of the estate, looking for wildlife and taking children to the play area.
