Celebrate in style or simply enjoy spending time with your nearest and dearest when you stay at this impressive, three-storey, Grade II-listed house in Masham. Sleeping 10 guests, the five-bedroom retreat enjoys an enviable position within the small North Yorkshire market town, just 1 mile from the fringes of the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Perfect for those eager to get out and about in beautiful scenery, it also enjoys its proximity to colourful, independent shops and eateries.
Masham, situated in the lower reaches of pretty Wensleydale alongside the River Ure, boasts a good range of crafts, galleries, shops, restaurants and pubs and has become best known perhaps as the home of two breweries, Theakstons of Old Peculiar fame and the Black Sheep Brewery. It has a huge market square, where a bi-weekly market every Wednesday and Saturday offers local Yorkshire produce.
Tastefully finished, this spacious retreat is an exquisite choice for a memorable holiday experience. A classic-style hallway welcomes you inside, dividing off into a series of rooms. At the far end of the hall, you will discover a generously sized kitchen with a long central island, where you can perch on a stool, drink in hand while the chef of the group prepares a home-cooked meal.
Enjoy your celebratory meals around the table in the adjacent dining room which comfortably seats your whole party. Look forward to settling down in the cosy lounge afterwards, snuggling up on the sumptuous sofas and watching a film on the Smart TV the wood burner roars in the background on chilly days.
An additional snug makes an ideal retreat for younger guests to entertain themselves or for alternative viewing on another Smart TV. If a moment of quiet is what you are seeking, you can head to the sunroom to pour yourself a refreshing drink. As one would expect from a house of this calibre, there are useful service areas including a utility and boot room that also gives access to the rear courtyard.
As night falls, head up the first set of stairs to a landing with three super-king-size bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom. There is also an attractive family bathroom on this floor. Venture up to the next level to find two more sumptuous bedrooms, a king-size and a twin room, plus an additional family bathroom.
Spend sunny days out in the private courtyard where you can enjoy a lively family BBQ or a glass of wine as the sun goes down. Gather round a glowing fire pit outside as the stars appear in the night sky overhead. There is private parking for two cars at this house.
