This homely three-bedroom cottage is perfect for families or groups of friends holidaying in the North York Moors National Park. Situated on a quiet street in the delightful market town of Helmsley, this home is within 400 metres of the town centre. Along Helmsley’s winding streets and around its central square, visitors will find independent boutiques and bookshops, teahouses, cosy pubs and plenty of places to wine and dine. Walkers will be in their element here, as both the Cleveland Way and the Ebor Way start from the town. About 2 miles along the Cleveland Way, ramblers will arrive at the ruins of Rievaulx Abbey, an ancient monastery dating back to the 1100s. Back in town, discover the fascinating Norman ruins of Helmsley Castle, and then head to the lovely Walled Garden, which has been lovingly restored to its former floral glory.
This home is a light and well-kept two-storey cottage with plenty of outdoor space to enjoy. There are original features throughout, with exposed beams, and Yorkshire-style sliding windows. The open-plan lounge and dining area is the perfect place to socialise and relax. Comfortable sofas are gathered around an open fire and TV for cosy nights in, and the wide dining table comfortably seats six. The kitchen features a gas-fired Rayburn and a rear door leading out into the garden. There is also a conservatory which is the perfect space to catch up on a good book, with access to the garden. Upstairs, there is a king-size bedroom, a twin bedroom and a shared family bathroom, with steps down to the twin. A separate staircase leading up from the ground floor accesses the queen bedroom. Guests in this room can access the ground-floor shower room and WC.
Outside is an enclosed, fenced-in garden featuring a spacious lawn, pretty flowerbeds and a small pond. There is a patio area set up with a table, chairs and a parasol for outdoor dining and drinks.
