Overview
Property code: 52779

This charming detached house retains much of its original charm and character and is the perfect destination to explore the beautiful surrounding countryside, museums and places of historical interest.

With a view out towards the village green right on your doorstep, this property is set in a great location. Sleeping up to 12 guests and welcoming along two of your furry friends, it's the perfect place to get everyone together for a special occasion. Unique touches make this property unforgettable, including the piano in the entrance hall for a fun sing-along, and the bright and airy snug with floor-to-ceiling windows for a rush of natural light and views out to the garden. Situated just 6 miles from the market town of Richmond and less than 0.5 miles from a selection of takeaways, pubs and restaurants, you are close to all local amenities. Richmond sits on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park making this a great place to visit for outdoor activities.

Rustic features mixed with contemporary styles creates a homely feel and makes this property feel warm and inviting. The front of the property opens onto the village green where there is a brook and large open grass space, whilst the rear is where you'll find the private garden. With a charcoal BBQ available and garden furniture this is the ideal space to enjoy each other's company. Heading inside there is a large kitchen, perfect for preparing a hearty breakfast before heading out for the day. Fitted with wooden worktops, cupboards and flooring, this is a unique space full of character. Off the kitchen there is a handy downstairs WC as well as coat hooks and a boot rack, the ideal place to leave muddy shoes after a day out on the Dales. Light the fire and gather everyone together in the lounge area for the evening. Grab some nibbles and drinks and compete over a boardgame or settle down to a movie on the TV/DVD. One of the thoughtfully decorated double bedrooms can be found downstairs whilst the rest of the bedrooms and the bathroom are upstairs on the first floor. After a day out exploring, relax into the roll-top bath for a peaceful start to your evening.

Bring a picnic and take in the view before exploring the secluded gardens and learning the history of the castle from the interactive exhibition. Other castles close by that are worth exploring include Middleham Castle (14 miles), Barnard Castle (19 miles) and Bolton Castle (17 miles). Thorp Perrow, just 10 miles away, covers 100 acres and is a great spot to walk around.
