A simply beautiful country cottage inviting guests to catch up on quality time and relax in style. Ideally situated for uncovering the area's rich, diverse countryside and moorland.
This welcoming three-bedroom luxury holiday cottage is found nestling in the heart of Nidderdale, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. With its stunning interiors and impressive grounds there's so much to love about this beautiful barn conversion. And 6 miles from the centre of Harrogate, a heavenly Victorian spa town packed with cosmopolitan delights. A fabulous holiday property, this is the result of an exceptional refurbishment which has transformed this traditional Yorkshire stone barn into a unique and luxurious family holiday home. The first thing you'll notice is the sense of space, both in the reception rooms and in each bedroom - plenty of room for six guests to unwind in their own spaces comfortably. This is closely followed by a sense of quality, no expense has been spared in this project, from the heated solid oak floor underfoot to the immaculate fixtures and fittings throughout.
Entering the house via a re-appropriated former stable door the first room to discover is the large living room. A floor to ceiling arched window with views out to the gardens and pond beyond give this room a real wow-factor. There's also a wood burner set within an elegant stone hearth, perfect for those cosy evenings by the fire, and a TV / DVD with channel subscriptions to keep you entertained. Wi-Fi is included too if you need to catch up online. Bespoke wooden shutters and underfloor heating complete the luxury feel. Make your way down a few steps and into the lovely kitchen / dining room featuring a heated stone tile floor and charming family dining table. There's also a snug area with leather chairs and another TV - perfect for teenagers to escape from the adults, or vice-versa! The shaker-style kitchen includes a sleek black granite work-top, range of SMEG-style appliances including a retro-style fridge-freezer and a dishwasher for your convenience. There's also a separate utility / boot room housing the washing machine and dryer.
There are three large and very peaceful bedrooms at the property, all of which come complete with their own en-suite bathrooms. The first of the bedrooms is set on the ground floor; a stylish room perfect for those with reduced mobility, particularly as it has an en-suite wet-room. There is a super-king-size bed in here which can also be set up as two singles if preferred. The remaining two bedrooms are upstairs, which you'll find by making your way up the bespoke oak and glass stairs. Both rooms up here feature king-size beds, so plenty of room for you to stretch out each evening. One en-suite has a bath with power-shower overhead, and the second a walk-in monsoon shower.
Stepping outside the accommodation is equally impressive with its sheltered stone patio and gravelled courtyard. There is a private pond and summer house set within the owner's grounds immediately to the front of the cottage, however this isn't available for guest use . And of course, there are those lovely views of Nidderdale's lush green countryside beyond. A tranquil rural retreat to enjoy at any time of the year. There are some gorgeous walks from the doorstep, and if you're into cycling, lockable storage is available at the property. Please note, as with any open water, children and dogs must be supervised at all times around the pond.
