Resting in a pretty village on the outskirts of York, this cottage is perfectly positioned to explore one of England's most historic cities as well as the picturesque landscapes of the North Yorkshire Moors, the Yorkshire Dales and coastal resorts
Bucolic bliss awaits at this gorgeous couple’s bolthole. A lovingly converted barn, it has a village green opposite, plus a mini-supermarket, traditional pubs and a sports centre with tennis courts all close by. Enjoy riverside walks from your doorstep, take advantage of the great local transport links to explore one of England's most historic cities – York is just 3.5 miles away – or drive further afield and you can discover the delights of the North Yorkshire Moors, Yorkshire Dales and the county’s coastal resorts.
A tasteful fusion of contemporary fittings, eclectic furnishings and original features make this a holiday home to treasure. Original beams and an exposed brick feature wall hint at the history of the building, while high-end touches such as automatic lighting on the landing and efficient air-source heating add convenience and comfort all year round.
Step into the entrance hall where you’ll find a handy ground-floor shower room, then on into a fully equipped kitchen that comes complete with an eye-level electric oven, induction hob, microwave, fridge, dishwasher and farmhouse-style table. Adjacent, the lounge is ultra-homely with comfortable seating, a Smart TV and fast internet.
When it’s time to sleep, head upstairs to a spacious bedroom with low, sloping ceilings, original beams and an inviting super-king-size bed. Large windows on each side bathe the room in light; after a good night’s rest take your time to awaken then, when you’re ready, you can kick-start your day with a refreshing shower in the en-suite.
Restore the balance after busy days out and enjoy laid-back evenings in your own private garden area – there’s outdoor furniture for al fresco dining. Alternatively, take a stroll to one of the village pubs for a warm Yorkshire welcome and a range of seasonal fare.
