Grove Villa - Leyburn

This elegant Edwardian townhouse provides the perfect setting for a gathering of friends or family. Situated in the heart of Leyburn, it offers the best of all worlds with shops, inns and a farmers’ market on the doorstep, a garden and summerhouse to extend your living space, and grand interiors where you can make fabulous memories together.

Follow the path through the front garden and you’ll know you’ve stepped into somewhere special the moment you enter the hallway at this handsome holiday home – there’s space to hang hats and coats before you head onwards.

You’ll enjoy a good view of the square to the front of the house from the bay window in the stunning lounge/diner, where warm wooden floors and deep comfortable sofas set the scene for companionable evenings over a meal, or with a movie or board game. Lovingly collected artworks and accessories plus a calming colour palette complement the high ceilings and stylish window dressings in this room, its generous proportions equalled by the adjacent kitchen where a range-style cooker is the focus of attention. Everything you’ll need to pack up a quick picnic or prepare a full family feast is here, including a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave and coffee machine.

When night draws in, it will be a delight to head upstairs where there are four dreamy bedrooms to choose from. Three are on the first floor: a king-size, a double with an en-suite shower room, and a twin room which enjoys views over the garden. For ultra-convenience, also on this floor is a bathroom with a shower over the bath and a separate shower room. One further door on the landing leads to a flight of stairs and up to the top-floor bedroom where there’s a king-size bed. All the bedrooms have space for storing your belongings to ensure you really feel at home.

Outside is a good-sized garden with a lawn, pretty planting and a Yorkshire flagstone patio. The dining table and seating make for the perfect summer BBQ area, but if the evening turns chilly you can relocate, refreshments in hand, to the summerhouse close by. No need to dash indoors when nature calls as there’s a handy WC in one of the outbuildings, plus a utility room housing a washer/dryer – perfect if you return from a walk with wet gear!
